Why Does My Pee Burn On My Period

Nicolás Guillén José Saramago, a writer committed to the people.

Like it or not, we only memory we have. A town that loses its memory is dead and still do not know, and more dead yet if it is prepared to adopt as his own, memories that are foreign, making them stagnant and he too mortal, this.

Cuadernos de Lanzarote fragment (1993-1995)

E scritor Portuguese, one of the most popular novelists in the world. Journalist and member of the Portuguese Communist Party suffered censorship and persecution during the dictatorship of Salazar. He joined the "Carnation Revolution" that brought democracy to Portugal in 1974. Maintained a skeptical intellectual and ethical position and aesthetics above political partisanship, and committed to the human race. In his last decades, enshrined as a universal writer, he divided his time between Lisbon and the English island of Lanzarote (Canary Islands). Elevation of ground (1980) was the novel that revealed as much Portuguese novelist mature and innovative. It is a historical novel, located in the Alentejo between 1910 and 1979, a peasant language, a robust and documented and a humorous and sarcastic style dramatically called attention at the time. Continued work of great interest is the convent Memorial (1982), The Year of the Death of Ricardo Reis (1984), The Stone Raft (1986), History siege of Lisbon (1989), The Gospel According to Jesus Christ (1991) and Blindness (1995), work in which the author from ethical considerations warns of "responsibility of eye when others have lost. "Saramago, skeptical but supportive, reflected in this novel about whether one would hope after this new millenarianism that mankind is living. In 1998 he received the Nobel Prize for Literature, becoming the first Portuguese writer to get it . The Swedish Academy highlighted its ability to "re understandable a fleeting reality, with parables sustained by imagination, compassion and irony ."

In recent he published duplicate Man (2002), Intermittently death (2005), Small memory (2006), Elephant Travel (2008), A raft of road stone and Haiti Democracy and University (2010).
A great literary parallel to a life of social and ethical commitment has fallen short of time.

José Saramago has died, his work is an important part of world literature, commitment is an attitude to be grateful in this day and age where there is very to use the intellectuals involved as he has done.

Open Letter to José Saramago Sanguinetti

URGENT To: His Excellency. Mr. Julio María Sanguinetti
President
Uruguay

From: José Saramago

Lanzarote Spain Lanzarote

, October 20, 1999 President of the Oriental Republic of Uruguay:

My name is José Saramago, I'm Portuguese, writer and currently living on an island in the Canaries archipelago. My wife is English, I have friends all over America that is expressed in Castilian, and also would not need to say, in Brazil, who speaks my language. Nothing cultural and social value to me is strange American world. I belong to that world as I belong to the village where I was born. I'm the Nobel Prize for Literature, but do not write from that condition. I have not even certain that either by writing books so I am writing the President of the Republic of Uruguay. I wish that this letter was read only because it contains words of one man to another man. It is true that I am a writer, it is true that I am Nobel Prize, but that comes in second and third. I do not mean by humility, I say this because only in humans (unfortunately not all) a sense of humanity can exist and resist. That feeling is the guiding words.

Juan Gelman, the great Argentine poet, one of the largest the world has today, looking, for years, his grandson was born in 1976 in Montevideo, where the henchmen of the military dictatorship, in an operation over Condor, transported to the pregnant mother. The father of that child or that child was found dead in Argentina, killed, shot in the neck. Of mother nothing is known, his trail was lost in a secret detention center of Montevideo, capital of the country of Dr. Julio Maria Sanguinetti becomes president. If alive, the grandson of Juan Gelman is now 23 years old. Where is it? The President of the Oriental Republic of Uruguay Juan Gelman is not called, but could, for your unhappiness, being as it is also simply Julio Maria Sanguinetti, being now in the situation of the Poet, that is desperately seeking his own grandson . What would you do? If Juan Gelman, now admit this assumption, was the President of Uruguay, Dr. Sanguinetti certainly call on your door and say, "Help me to find my grandchild. "And Juan Gelman, so I have certainly put all his authority in the service of this justice.

is what I, Portuguese writer, I would ask Dr. Julio Maria Sanguinetti:" Help Juan Gelman, help justice, help the dead, the tortured and kidnapped by helping the living who mourn them and seek help yourself, help your conscience, help your grandson has not disappeared, but could have. "I have nothing more to ask, Mr. President, because I'm asking around.

With due respect.

Sincerely, José Saramago
