A boat full of creativity never ceases to amaze me. A creative proposal, colorful and enviable quality, we introduced the young editorial Almadía, born in 2004 in Oaxaca City, Mexico.
Editorial Almadía, gives space to travel more ambitious and successful of contemporary narrative, those who discover uncharted islands, or transmitting the experience of the vast ocean that makes navigation possible. Prestigious writers adorn its cover: Guillermo Fadanelli, Juan Villoro, Alberto Chimal, Francisco Hinojosa, Jean-Marie Le Clezio, Camille de Toledo, Mario Bellatin and of course, Portuguese, Gonçalo M. Tavares. His lyrics, extremely consistent, sprinkled with fable and a desire to be taken to express that José Saramago: " has no right to write as well at thirty-five years, just want to punch ".
" Nine Stories "is 9 short stories, always exercising brevity and philosophical knowledge, characteristic of Tavares:
" One time Alexander the Great, Diogenes found sitting on the ground, exercising, lost his laziness. After a solemn pause, turned to Alexander and Diogenes proclaimed
"You're facing the Great Alexander, what you have to say?
Diogenes, the philosopher, looked at Alexander and said
- You do not mind a bit away? is that the sun is covering me.
That reply became famous. Is not unique, but it is strange that philosophy to assert its authority against the power.
digested the affront, he say, an hour after his entourage: "If it was Alexander the Great, I would be Diogenes"
Other:
"Faustina, as wife of Emperor Marcus Aurelius, had charge of many lives, what about yours?, lost, looking and sending the others.
"Inside, no one can know what happens, but outside, in the body and acts, who saw it can say what they saw"
Beyond the love of knowledge, Tavares GM, literature makes a human act, with its own tone, raising the fictional reality of men.
