Un buen libro es una isla que contiene el universo.<\/p>\n

ISLA es tambi\u00e9n el nombre que hemos querido dar a nuestro festival de literatura. Es el acr\u00f3nimo de \u201cIrish, Spanish and Latin American\u201d Literary Festival<\/a>. Es por tanto, tambi\u00e9n, una ISLA grande, f\u00e9rtil y multicultural en la que estamos todos unidos, irlandeses, latinoamericanos y espa\u00f1oles, por primera vez, en torno a la literatura.<\/p>\n

Nunca antes se hab\u00eda celebrado un festival de estas caracter\u00edsticas. Sin embargo, creemos que hac\u00eda ya mucho tiempo que ven\u00eda siendo necesario. Hoy, gracias al entusiasmo demostrado tanto por Dublin UNESCO City of Literature, Ireland Literature Exchange, Poetry Ireland y el apoyo de las universidades Dublin City University, NUI Galway, NUI Maynooth y Trinity College Dublin, como por las embajadas de Argentina, Chile, Cuba, M\u00e9xico y por supuesto por la Embajada de Espa\u00f1a, de la que el Instituto Cervantes forma parte, este festival es una realidad. Solo podemos tener palabras de agradecimiento para todos ellos.<\/p>\n

Y aqu\u00ed estamos todos, unidos en este proyecto. Comprometidos, comunicados, reunidos en este hermoso territorio com\u00fan en el que hemos depositado tantas ilusiones.<\/p>\n

No tiene sentido que algunas de las literaturas m\u00e1s fecundas del planeta sigan viviendo de espaldas entre s\u00ed. Es necesario que del intercambio de experiencias e ideas, de un mejor conocimiento entre unos y otros surjan nuevas traducciones, nuevos libros y, sobre todo, nuevos lectores.<\/p>\n

Bienvenidos a nuestra ISLA.<\/p>\n

Ireland is a great and fertile Island. It is an Island cultivated with writers and high quality literature. A writer during the course of his creative work must also become an island, withdrawing in silence to a place where words are kept. Those same words which some solitary reader will discover like hidden treasure on a pirate island, treasure in the form of a book.<\/p>\n

A good book is a universe within an island.<\/p>\n

The Spanish for \u2018island\u2019 is \u2018ISLA\u2019. It is the name we have chosen for our Literary Festival. It is the acronym for \u2018Irish, Spanish and Latin American\u2019 Literary Festival.<\/a> It is also in that way a great, fertile and multicultural island where the Irish, Latin Americans and Spanish for the first time are all united and gathered around literature.<\/p>\n

Never before has such a festival taken place. However, we believe it to be a much needed, unique event that has been a long time coming. Today, and thanks to the enthusiasm of Dublin UNESCO City of Literature, Ireland Literature Exchange, Poetry Ireland and the support of Dublin City University, Trinity College Dublin, NUI Galway, NUI Maynooth, the Embassies of Argentina, Mexico, Chile and Cuba, and by the Spanish Embassy, of which Instituto Cervantes is a part, this Festival is now a reality. We can only offer words of sincere gratitude to all of them.<\/p>\n

We are all here, united in this project. Committed, connected and gathered together in this beautiful shared place where we have invested so many dreams.<\/p>\n

It does not make sense that some of the most fertile literary figures on the planet should live in disregard for one another. It is imperative that from the exchange of experiences and ideas and from a better understanding between one another, new translations, new literature and, above all, new readers should emerge.<\/p>\n

We wish you a warm welcome to our \u2018island\u2019 ISLA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
