Nobel Prize in Literature Is Awarded to Jon Fosse: Live Updates Throughout a decades-long career, the playwright and author Jon Fosse has inspired comparisons to Henrik Ibsen, Samuel Beckett and even George Harrison from the Beatles. One of his English translators, Damion Searls, writing in The Paris Review in 2015, described Fosse’s work this way: “Think of the four elder statesmen of Norwegian letters as a bit like the Beatles,” he wrote. “Per Petterson is the solid, always dependable Ringo; Dag Solstad is John, the experimentalist, the ideas man; Karl Ove Knausgaard is Paul, the cute one; and Fosse is George, the quiet one, mystical, spiritual, probably the best craftsman of them all.” His work is spare and existential, often focusing on the interior lives of rather solitary characters. Here is a guide to his major works. Novels Septology I-VII Morning and Evening This short, powerful novella opens with the birth of Johannes, whose parents hope he will become a fisherman like his father.

Novela-El proceso El proceso (título original alemán: Der Prozess) es una novela inacabada de Franz Kafka, publicada de manera póstuma en 1925 por Max Brod, basándose en el manuscrito inconcluso de Kafka. En el relato, Josef K. es arrestado una mañana por una razón que desconoce. Desde este momento, el protagonista se adentra en una pesadilla para defenderse de algo que nunca se sabe qué es y con argumentos aun menos concretos, tan solo para encontrar, una y otra vez, que las más altas instancias a las que pretende apelar no son sino las más humildes y limitadas, creándose así un clima de inaccesibilidad a la 'justicia' y a la 'ley'. De la novela procede un famoso relato kafkiano, Ante la ley, devenida en la esencia de la 'pesadilla kafkiana'. En él un hombre llegado de lejos pretende cruzar la puerta de la Ley, pero un Guardián se lo impide durante años. Argumento[editar] Un tío de Josef llega del campo a ayudarlo, puesto que la noticia del proceso en su contra se expande rápidamente. Personajes[editar]

Competencias adquiridas MANN, KAFKA AND THE KATZENJAMMER KIDS I promise not to dwell more than necessary on the business side of this American-German connection, but I have done my homework. Here are a few salient facts: The National Bibliography of the Federal Republic of Germany for 1983 (last year reported) lists a total of 6,500 titles translated from foreign languages. Translations from English account for 68.3 percent of this total. Facts, as my philosophy teacher used to say, in the best tradition of Kant and Hegel, are after all only facts; for all their eloquence, they cannot speak for themselves. Recently, though, the market share of American blockbusters has dwindled. ''The reasons for this orientation towards developments in the USA are undoubtedly trivial - it is typical of the post-war generation of German philosophers and sociologists in general. A quite different picture emerges if we turn to the realm of belles lettres - to ''serious'' fiction, poetry and the drama.

Wayne Koestenbaum on Sontag, Proust, and Quote-o-Mania ‹ Literary Hub In Conversation with Paul Holdengraber In Paul Holdengraber’s conversation with Wayne Koestenbaum, the two discuss working in libraries, reading Proust for the first time, and what Holdengraber calls their shared “quote-o-mania.” After listening to Anna Moffo singing “Pamina’s Aria” from Mozart’s Die Zauberflote, the two go on to discuss Susan Sontag and the cauterizing effect of art. Paul Holdengraber: I’m reminded of one moment in Barthes where he says that—and I know this notion of linguistic skin interests you—where he says, “language is a skin: I rub my language against the other. It is as if I had words instead of fingers, or fingers at the tip of my words. Wayne Koestenbaum: That is so beautiful. Sleepless Night. PH: Tell me. WK: This is Hardwick here: “the torment of personal relations. And then Sontag, in the final four or five sentences here of commentary on Hardwick writes, “nothing new except language, the ever found. PH: I love it, too. PH: No, no, no, no, no.
Comentario Claire Keegan Harnesses the Power in Brevity Keegan says her work is often described as pared down, when in fact, she writes stories as they come to her, without giving a thought to length. “What pleases me,” Keegan said, “is brevity.” Stories often begin as a single image that gets lodged in her head. “Foster,” for example, grew out of an image a girl staring down a well at her reflection. “I don’t believe in plot and I’ve never plotted anything,” she said. She writes out notes and scenes in longhand, until she settles into a character’s point of view, then switches to a computer. She avoids lengthy dialogue and exposition out of respect for her characters, who tend to be reticent types, unwilling to divulge what’s eating at them. “It’s not just that the character goes into it reluctantly, I too go into it with reluctance,” she said. If Keegan has a guiding ethos in her writing, it’s perhaps her willingness to leave things unsaid, and her adherence to efficiency. “There’s something in the tact,” she said.

Bibliography as author[edit]
Arte El arte (del lat. ars, artis, y este calco del gr. τέχνη)[1] es entendido generalmente como cualquier actividad o producto realizado por el ser humano con una finalidad estética o comunicativa, mediante la cual se expresan ideas, emociones o, en general, una visión del mundo, mediante diversos recursos, como los plásticos, lingüísticos, sonoros o mixtos.[2] El arte es un componente de la cultura, reflejando en su concepción los sustratos económicos y sociales, y la transmisión de ideas y valores, inherentes a cualquier cultura humana a lo largo del espacio y el tiempo. Se suele considerar que con la aparición del Homo sapiens el arte tuvo en principio una función ritual, mágica o religiosa (arte paleolítico), pero esa función cambió con la evolución del ser humano, adquiriendo un componente estético y una función social, pedagógica, mercantil o simplemente ornamental. Concepto[editar] La definición de arte es abierta, subjetiva, discutible.
Shehan Karunatilaka Wins Booker Prize for ‘The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida’ Though he was hesitant to write about the war, he started working on it years later, around 2014. For a long time, he struggled with the tone. He eventually cracked the narrative open as a dark comedy when he imagined the afterlife as a bland bureaucracy: “The afterlife is a tax office and everyone wants their rebate,” he writes. “Maybe that is a plausible explanation for why Sri Lanka seems to go from tragedy to tragedy, that there are all these restless spirits and ghosts wandering around, confused, not sure what they’re supposed to do, and they amuse themselves by whispering bad ideas into people’s ears,” Karunatilaka said in a video posted on the Booker website. “I thought, this is a useful way of exploring this grim subject matter, but having a bit of lightness and a bit of playfulness also.” Written in the second person, the novel unfolds in Colombo in 1989, when a war photographer named Maali Almeida wakes up dead, without a clue as to how or why he was killed.
