The ouroborus
As you can tell from a glance at the Contents, An Introduction to Literature includes practical advice about reading and responding to literature and writing analytical papers, advice that comes directly from our experience not only as readers and writers but also as teachers. This experience derives from classrooms, from conferences with students, and from assignments we have given, read, responded to, and graded. We have learned from our experiences and have done our best to give you the tools that will help you make yourself a more perceptive reader and a more careful, cogent writer.

De discursos y poemas
Sus autores se han propuesto cantar las hazañas de unos héroes y no de celebrar la gloria de determinados reinos o colectividades. Además, si por una parte es probable que algunas de las aventuras relatadas tengan realmente una base histórica, por otra parte no es menos seguro que sus autores no vacilaban en utilizar temas puramente imaginarios; exageraban, por ejemplo, las virtudes del héroe, narraban sueños proféticos y hacían intervenir a los dioses en sus narraciones. Desde el punto de vista del estilo, los poemas épicos en cuestión se caracterizaban por un empleo abusivo de epítetos convencionales, de prolijas repeticiones, de fórmulas repetitivas y de descripciones a menudo ociosas, sin…

The magic kingdom of Storytelling
As far as we know, only Sapiens can talk about entire kinds of entities that they have never seen, touched or smelled. Legends, myths, gods and religions appeared for the first time with the Cognitive Revolution. Many animals and human species could previously say, ‘Careful! A lion!’ Thanks to the Cognitive Revolution, Homo sapiens acquired the ability to say, ‘The lion is the guardian spirit of our tribe.’ This ability to speak about fictions is the most unique feature of Sapiens language. Sapiens. Nuval Yoah Harari Someone will say: But God exists!And then, we might shut our traps to survive.Perhaps, only because the only time I discuss fiction is when…

¿Y si?
Quienes promueven las campañas de que la lectura es «buena para ti» y algo «básico y divertido» necesitan, si de verdad quieren tener algún éxito, dar forma a una idea de «bueno» y «genial» que no esté ligada a lo que la mayoría considera como los logros más importantes de su vida —ganar dinero, ser atractivo y popular, tener buena salud y una familia feliz y amorosa—, puesto que ninguno de éstos nos exige leer, al menos no de una manera reflexiva ni seria. ¿Puedo incluso atreverme a sugerir, queridos lectores, que lo contrario podría ser cierto: que, dejando a un lado la alfabetización básica, cuanto más tiempo dediquemos a…

Tales about tales
Most likely, both the gossip theory and the there-is-a-lion-near-the-river theory are valid. Yet the truly unique feature of our language is not its ability to transmit information about men and lions. Rather, it’s the ability to transmit information about things that do not exist at all.
