Format For Letter Of Interest For Sorority

PROPOSAL FOR GUYS OVER 10 YEARS

Children's literature tells the story

Vicente Muleiro writer published "Don Dog puppies." Ruben A.

Arribas

Children's literature is based on historical scenarios string uncrowded. Despite offering juicy narrative possibilities, few Argentine writers have ventured so far in the genre. Thus Vicente Muleiro, who published in 2003, "Don Perro de Mendoza" in 2007 "Don Dog puppies, both aimed at children older than 10 years, has quickly become an industry benchmark. Also a successful author: his first book circulate more than 16 thousand copies.

Of course, the gap in the publishing market only partly explained the good reception, a little one just like that convinces them to read. The other ingredient is the playfulness with which this faced young man of 56 years both projects. According Muleiro-King of Spain Prize for Journalism in 1998, novelist, poet and co-author with Maria Seoane of a famous general research Videla-child explore his side has allowed him taking liberties with adults will be more difficult. Hence, for example, the narrators of his stories speak of the "potion Querandis" reveled in the way of Payar of two cowboys who frequent the same grocery store or to note that in the battle of San Lorenzo had "more blood than a butcher shop where they had just cut up carcasses. "

"When you frequent the language, this is set to play alone, and displayed the associations and sound games. And there why not put serious muted: the language is also a great game, a great carnival, as in Don Quixote. Moreover, as the kids are less overwhelmed by the culture, enjoy these games more than words. On the other hand, I think the passion for language is always an anchor in childhood, even in the most serious of writers. "

However, games with words, to Martin Fierro payadas or hyperbolic similes represent minor mischief, when compared with certain boldness in the choice of points of view to tell. So, the dog who adopts Beppo is the conqueror Pedro de Mendoza, and not vice versa. The sergeant Feilberg-the first to reach the glacier Perito Moreno says that all good with Don Francisco Pascacio, the expert, but in truth, that wonder should be called glacial ice Feilberg lieutenant, and not as tourists call today . And the narrow-tehuelches Patagonians, saying that such a Magellan and his men are rare ... because they do not understand them, because they do not wear guanaco skin for the cold and because, sepal, Chief, "are people, but people Patacho."

"I use these changes in points of view not to follow the history of the manual in order to have other views than those officers, "says Muleiro. And in that same rebellious and mischievous key can read the topics revolve around everyday or that the protagonists are not heroes heroic. In general, here are kids, dogs or maids who tell what he was when the first locomotive arrived in Buenos Aires, when the Circo Criollo gave "Juan Moreira" or Lavalle went to visit Rose. In both books, history manuals is on one side, in the form of bibliography at the end of each story, and literature, in the foreground.

But that very successful blend of fiction and a pinch of reality, for now, knows a limit: 1912. Of the 18 stories that meet "Don Dog Mendoza" and "Don Dog puppies, only one has entered the twentieth century. "With the events of the colony and to the Sáenz Peña Law is as if the distance in time does not allow me to get involved both emotionally and to play ... I do not know if I could write playfulness on the 1930 coup, Peronism and its fall, the terrible years of lead or missing. Maybe later. "

STORY NO "school"

Argentina Children's literature is in good health. "It is more developed than we know, does not need the media presentation, working through other channels," said Vicente Muleiro. According to him, there are excellent authors covering a wide range of topics and explore the present. "Graciela Montes, Silvia Schujer, Elsa Bornemann, Ricardo Mariño Laura Devetach or have been encouraged to break the 'doxa' right-thinking and writing about the breakdown of the family, sexuality, or parents who have new partners to their children. Ie not 'schooled' children's literature, in the worst sense of that word make Dad read the newspaper, mom cook and the boy who plays with the dog, make a prank naive. These authors write about problems of today. "
