We have a general feeling that these kinds of places
Full of things that are very important, but precisely what is the importance of literature?
Why should we spend our time reading novels and poems?
While huge things happen outside
Let us think a little about some of the ways literature can help us
Of course, it seems like a waste of time, but literature is one of the greatest ways
To shorten time, literature gives us an outlet for the range of emotions and events that will take you
Years, decades, even thousands of years to experience them immediately
Literature is one of the greatest ways to simulate reality, a mechanism that puts you in events
Infinitely you could never test them
It makes you safe to see how it is when you become absolute
Or to kill someone and feel remorse. Or leave your job or land in the desert
Or make a serious mistake while driving your country
Literature allows you to precede time: in order to see the life cycle since childhood
Until aging
Give you the keys of the palace and the rooms that do not count
So you can evaluate your life with respect to it than others
Great characters present: a Roman general, a French princess in the 11th century,
A rich Russian mother in a relationship
Take you across continents
And ages
Literature treats almost superficially without charge, turning us into citizens of this world.
Literature shows us in a charming way how things look from someone else’s perspective
Viewpoint
Allows us to look at the consequences of our actions towards others in a way we would not have understood
It shows us examples of pleasant, generous and sympathetic people
Literature usually stands against the prevailing value system, the system that rewards
Owners of money and power
The book on the other bank makes us sympathetic to the ideas and feelings that are
Are very important but can not pay the broadcast time to market them in commercial awareness
And the world is ridiculous
We are stranger than we are allowed to recognize
We often can not say what goes on in our chests
But in the books, they describe us with sincerity and how things really go
She was more honestly described than a normal conversation would allow
In the best books the writer knows us more than we know ourselves
They find words that describe the fragility, strangeness and extraordinaryness of our inner lives
The morning light in the summer, the anxiety we feel in the gatherings
The feelings of the first kiss, envy when a friend tells us his new project
The nostalgia we experience on the train
Look at the way we dare not talk to him
The book opens our hearts and minds and gives us maps for ourselves to travel
With more confidence and less suspicion and persecution
As Emerson wrote: “In the works of the great book, we find our neglected thoughts.”
Literature is an alternative to surface and compromises of friendship
The book is our true friend, always present without concern, gives us unedited reports
About the truth of things
Throughout our lives, one of our biggest fears is failure
As the newspapers put it (failed)
Every day, the media takes us to stories of failure
Interestingly, a lot of literature is prone to failure. In a way or another
Many great novels, plays and poems are about people who have failed
Like the tragedy of King Oedipus
And disappointed their partners
Or who died after running behind the shopping debt
If the media reach them, they will become minced meat
But the great books do not govern harshly or with one view as the media
They raise compassion in the hero and fear in us on the basis of the sense that we are close to the destruction of our lives
But if literature can do all this, we must deal with it in a different way than now
We tend to treat him as distraction, as an entertainment. Something for the beach
But more than this, it’s already a treat. generally
We must learn to treat him as doctors treat their medicines, something half as a remedy
For a range of diseases and is classified as the best appropriate solution to the problem
Put up
Literature deserves his prestige for the most important reason of all reasons: it is a tool
It helps us to die and live with a little wisdom, goodness and rationality. Translated by: Asma
