World Book Day
around the world commemorated the International Day of the book. I started to commemorate the last week in El Toboso in Cervantes Days, acquired two magnificent examples of Don Quixote to give and I attended a lecture-presentation of a book of portraits. And, beyond the conventions of TV news to those who are not accustomed, would have to think about the amount of real stories and people that under the "Knight of the Sorrowful Countenance" while wielding his sword in this all out have created and are dedicated to this noble profession but "mendicant order" revolutions that have brought the books generated idealisms following contact between the paper and hands, feelings, joys, sorrows, tears and smiles ... It's real life, the book, the book is that we abstract from other useless routines of this world ... because That is to say thank you to those who are able to create in the form of letters, life from nothing ... to Cervantes, Quevedo, Gongora, Calderón, Lope de Vega, the Valle Inclán, Unamuno, Baroja, Azorín, Ortega y Gasset, Miguel Hernandez and Lorca, Ayala, Jorge Guillen, and Miguel Delibes, Cela, Paz, Mario Benedetti, Borges, Cortazar, Vila-Matas, Ana Maria Matute, Carmen Martin Gaite ... (I've only named a few and English ) and why not, also those who, as I read yesterday Monica Gutierrez to (which is in the making his second book), put their two cents and help to make the ink on paper, a passion, a dream and that dream a reality. At Sanfeliú or Patricia Miguel Esteban (Russian Blue is his second book), and bloggers, clerks, short-lived moment dreamers least they put every day, thousands and thousands of letters in circulation ... of them also is this book-day.
