Halley Berrys Haircut In Catwoman

Normal

Last November I had a meeting with the c havalar the Institute of Aracena, Huelva. already told here in his day . Recently I is Scribed Ruben Contreras, one of the students, and told me he had begun The key Pinner, hopelessly hooked and finished it in two days. Sie MPRE say, and that you know who I know that the greatest compliment that someone can do is could not release a book of mine, but not why pa (actually, it's best never knowing why.) But hearing this from a teenager, who adds that usually do not read except under compulsion, is doubly rewarding. Reading the comments of Reuben, what and, moreover, namesake of the protagonist of The Mauthausen violinist, I remembered that I wanted to hang on the blog an interview and did m recently, two students from the Roman Cauca , of Segovia. To reread it now, I realize that I had read some things about my teenage had not ever told publicly. This time younger have this capability, although not know, do not leave you no choice but to be honest totalme nte ...

P. To what degree do you think your family background influenced your love of reading? What about your teachers? Remember especially to some of the latter?

R. In my house there were always books, so I had to choose from. Not that we had an extensive library, but my parents were, and are very readers. But I'm not quite sure how it can influence. There are also families with boundless libraries where children have no taste for reading. Depends on each case, I guess. I loved reading as a child. And enjoyed the comics, novels or history books.

P. Maybe if only I had approached the required reading books through the school, would not become the player I was a teenager. My background as a reader was intuitive, curious. I was lucky to find Stevenson and Dumas still very young.

I keep in my library a copy of 1984, Orwell, who gave me a teacher. Many years later I sent a few books dedicated mine. It was a way to repay this gift that I made, plus interest ...

P. What kind of book you read as a child? And during your adolescence?

R. I read everything I wanted, with the naivete and lack of complexes that I should never disappear as an adult. Very small, with six, I started my collection of comics Warrior mask, which may have been my favorite comic book hero. I also liked Captain Thunder , The Jabato , Roberto Alcazar and Pedrín , Asterix and American superheroes, of course: Spiderman , Batman, Superman ... In addition, I loved drawing, and at the same time devouring the stories also copied the features of the characters in a role. The drawing is a hobby that I have not lost at all.

With nine years I read my first book without pictures: Black Arrow , Stevenson, and immediately, I remember, The Three Musketeers of Dumas. Since then not remember a single time in my life where I have not accompanied by a book. I read everything I wanted, from one extreme to another: Godfather by Mario Puzo, the eleven years The Spy Who Came cold, Le Carré, Odessa, Forsythe and The Time Machine, Wells, thirteen; Papillon, Henri Charriere, The Fifth Horseman by Dominique Lapierre and Larry Colins; Gorky Park , of \u200b\u200bMC Smith and The Great Gatsby, Scott Fitzgerald at 14; The human factor, by Graham Greene, on the fifteenth, the incomparable series Foundation, Asimov, and 1984 , of Orwell, at sixteen. The Name of the Rose, Umberto Eco, the seventeenth ... It was the first time in my life where I zampa the last two hundred pages of a book in a day. Now it's like to write very precise recall moments of happiness. There are many more books and the list goes on, but that, from memory, I remember them.

P. When did you first realize you wanted to be a writer? What was the first wrote the text that you still feel especially proud of? What advice would you give to young people with literary vocation? What about your teachers? Do you think enough is being promoted reading among students?

R. Become writer is not the result of an illumination. At least I did not get up one day and said I wanted to be a writer. It is long, you is happening at the same time you live. In my family there are writers, and before starting to fill folios do not know any writer. For me it was a profession so foreign and so strange as the astronaut, and although for many years I thought, as I'm sure happens to many people, I like to write a book someday, I never planteármelo seriously. I once wrote a story, but did not give much importance. Even showed it to anyone, and I did not think about it. Yet it took another couple of years to write another. I did when I wanted. And then another and another, and each time were shortened over time from one text to the next, until one day I decided I had to dedicate at least a couple of hours a day to sit down and write stories to see if it could take somewhere. There came a time when enough material had accumulated, and did not know what to do with it. I started participating in contests short fiction, and I was lucky enough to win. Then came a novel, and another and another ... And thus far.

My advice to young literary vocation is to read a lot, without complexes, because everything can be learned, and, if you really believe in what they do, do not give up. Sometimes things go right and sometimes wrong, but there is always the consolation of having tried. And listen to the opinions of others, but to some extent, nothing is as good as your instincts.

P Could you tell us a story from his student days? What career done? When did you decided? Why?

R. literary anecdote can not recall my student days. I say, do not know any writer then and one of the things I try to always do now when they ask me, is to visit a school to talk with students. I think it is my duty, and I like. When I finished high school was about to enroll in Geography and History, but eventually studied Tourism because I thought it was most sensible. Today I'm not so sure. Then I worked for many years in my own business until I started to gather to dedicate this letter. Nor do I believe that if I had studied literature and philology now would be a better writer. Writing novels is not much to do with that, but with the passion of storytelling and the desire to excite your readers, entertain, and maybe teach them something.

P. In his novel "The Fiddler of Mauthausen" and two other novels based on World War II to develop the story. Where does that interest at this time?

R. In fact, the Second World War, or rather the 30 and 40 of the twentieth century is the frame. Because the war itself does not appear in any of my books. I'm more interested in what surrounds it: the passions, feelings about the conflict. Above all, what is in these novels is a plot that has something to do with espionage, because it is very novel, and makes the books are entertaining. It is also true that watching some of the titles that I have pointed out in my teens, no one will miss this tendency of mine to acclimate some of my novels about a web of espionage. But I insist, just a few. Neither my stories or my short stories, which are not known to the public, have nothing to do with the time or the spy genre. Neither my novel Mowgli syndrome , which is one of the books that I'm proudest of having written. I say, I always write what I want, without worrying much.
