Four centuries later Lazarillo de Tormes's author appear

Next week will be published the answer of one of the major secrets of Spanish literature, Lazarillo de Tormes's author.

Product of Renaissance, his author has remained silently under the anonymity in four centuries to the present day. The discover of this mystery was the literature's researcher Mercedes Agulló after thirty years of investigation.

Lazarillo is the principal protagonist of a novel which introduces the picaresque device showing various professions and levels of society presenting realistic details from the sixteenth century.


Fortunately, thanks to Mercedes we know Lazarillo's author was be Diego Hurtado de Mendoza a man who "represents as few ones the ideal Renaissance one of union of the weapon and of the letters" - said her.

It's one of the major discoveries of Literature studies and we can consider it as historical, so since this day we have to learn the author's names, as one of the most important authors of Spanish Renaissance.



Is to read an obligation or a pleasure?

To read has been to he past of years the major symbol of knowledge. In the Median Age, only monks were reading. So, we can consider reading the major way to know. Because of it same students have to learn reading to themselves for pleasure. But everybody know young people don't read so much, so they have to read obligatory many essential and basic books.

For this reason, actually the majority of students say that they do not like to read obligatory books, but it was because of the theme of these knowledges objects? I think we could find that answer in prejudices of people.

Furthermore of this we could accept that these young (and in general) people don't want to read something imposed, something obligatory because it means no read for pleasure and automatically they do a relation matching an obligatory book to bored.


Nowadays, people read less and less possibly because of the improvement of new technologies that consume their time, possible because there isn't an interesting thing to them.

Nonetheless there are some people who love this activity of knowledge and wants to conquer the world of a book reading few lines of some pages. These kind of people, reduced at the past of time, is considered the the saviours of this species in extinction.

Feelings in songs

Music has always been present in our lives. Every day we live, every movement we do, every moment we breath, there is a music around us. Maybe when we are walking on the street we can hear the song of artificial things created by humans, rarely nice.

To an other hand we can hear the tenderness, nice hearing, of Nature. What I try yo say is that what ever you go, you will find a music, more or minus agreeable, but it'll always be music. We can try to see it in a song:


This song is about a boy who fall in love with a girl. He says that he has tried to explain his feelings to her but he always ends up becoming really nervous. We can also see how big his love for her is when the boy says that everything she does is magic and even though his past has been sad she makes him to forget it.

Later he remembers the first time they met, the date. It was a rainy day and some of both were carrying an umbrella, but it was not enough for two.

At the end of the song the boy wishes for calling the girl to ask her is she wants to marry him. Obviously he’s incapable of talking to her due to his embarrassment. Finally the history ends like in real life: fear wins and he makes himself the question: must I always be alone?

I definitely love this song because, although the author says sad things, it transmits love and fondness, probably for this reason I find it so nice and cheerful.



"There's music in the sighing of a reed;
There's music in the gushing of a rill;
There's music in all things, if men had ears:
Their earth is but an echo of the spheres."

- Lord Byron

"Without music life would be a mistake."

- Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

Cinema in our days

Nowadays, when we go to cinema we have different options: tragedy, action, romantic, science - fiction, drama or comedian films, but in other times, behind cinema's screen, it was very different.


Actually directors have a lot of companions whose advise it and they it help: as technical personnel of sound, light, direction, script or production. In other words, they have a technical, totally complete, team being based, fundamentally, of the special effects that every day have more weight in our cinema. We can demonstrate it with the film "Avatar" of James Cameron, a very expensive film the principal meaning of his creation is pass the fronter of real to dream, with the help of the 3D technical.


So, it's necessary in our time a lot of special effects to attract spectators to screens? Sadly our cinema has been made ill because of the extra effects we use in a simple action. Personally I think directors want to arrive an state like our dreams, in a screen.

Moreover, we have to say cinema has converted to a reason more commercial than how we know in his meaning. In our days, a film production wants to do a lot of money, not a good film based in themes attractive to people who loves cinema in his integrity, cinema like its golden era, in past century.


"Cinema is the most beautiful fraud in the world."

Should human rights be enforced by law or optional?

First of all, Human Rights have always involved in discussions of a lot of countries. There are many reasons because governments don't use them. Some people think that these defenders of people's values have to be moral, but not everyone. Why are these people thinking that personal values are wrong?

Simply, in the first place, governments in the third world are against these human rights because of the law's ignorance, because of the corruption. These governments accorded with Mafia a other criminal groups, kill and torture people to be what they want, rich using black market of people organs or similar.

However, we haven't got only criminal governments in our world that are conditioned by health and richness of their countries. Moreover all European countries and in general all civilized people must accept human rights between their laws because their importance is enormous in each person. These rights are what we have to respect to have a quiet situation in all the world.
To sum up, we do not have to hide to the terror imposed by corrupt governments and we have to know what is the best to our world. Some people maybe would accept to be in "peace and love" but it would be impossible because in our planet there are a lot of kinds of people that could "infect" the life of all planet citizens with a criminal vision of the life, with humanity reflected in his eyes like something dark what's unique solution is the criminality.
