Long Night of Stone
Continúan adiante as celebracións do centenario do nacemento do noso escritor Celso Emilio Ferreiro, de xeito complementario á exposición interactiva itinerante ou á actividade da páxina web dedicada ao autor de Longa Noite de Pedra. Ou mesmo ao concurso fotográfico para móbiles posto en marcha na súa vila natal, en Celanova. Pois ben, agora toca falar da tradución ao inglés da dita obra (agora Long Night of Stone) e que podemos ver en Portico of Galician Literature, unha xanela na Rede para a literatura galega traducida ao inglés cuxos obxectivos foron avanzados este martes.
Nela, ademais de todo tipo de datos e referencias ás obras de Celso Emilio, vaise dar acubillo a información biográfica, sinopses e fragmentos dunha boa escolma das nosas autoras e autores. O obxectivo deste portal é impulsar a proxección exterior do noso patrimonio literario. A web vén da man da Secretaría Xeral de Cultura e será presentada despois do verán, malia que está en marcha, acubillando material. A idea é permitir que vaia “medrando de xeito progresivo co fin de se converter no referente da literatura galega para o mundo anglófono e, en xeral, para a proxección internacional da literatura galega”, sinala o dito departamento autonómico. O portal xa está accesible no sitio web www.galicianliterature.com.

Emma Watson in dorm evacuation

Harry Potter star Emma Watson was caught up in an emergency at her university on Tuesday after a leaking steam pipe prompted an evacuation of her dorm.
The actress, who is studying English Literature at Rhode Island's prestigious Brown University, was among a number of students who were forced out of the building in their pyjamas when a fire alarm sounded early in the morning.
A source tells TMZ.com the alarm was triggered by a faulty steam pipe which was later fixed and pupils were allowed to return to their rooms.

para seguir lendo .... eternamente

Cent mille miliards de poèmes de Raymond Queneau publicado en 1960, é un libro de sonetos que non darás lido na vida porque é o libro máis longo do mundo . Curioso porque o libro só ten 10 páxinas e cada páxina un soneto.
Explicación: Cada soneto está cortado en tantas tiras como versos; de xeito que serían intercambiables entre si; dando lugar, cada cambio, a un soneto novo con sentido e rima ABBA ABBA CCD EED (á francesa) ou sexa, 10 elevado a 14!
