\"JBanville<\/a>Durante este fin de semana, hemos celebrado la segunda edici\u00f3n del Festival Isla de Literatura<\/a>. Por segundo a\u00f1o consecutivo, Irlanda, Latinoam\u00e9rica y Espa\u00f1a se encontraron en el Instituto Cervantes de Dubl\u00edn para hablar de \u00a0la literatura y sus alrededores.<\/p>\n

Una vez m\u00e1s, queremos agradecer desde aqu\u00ed el apoyo y la colaboraci\u00f3n de instituciones como Dublin UNESCO City of Literature<\/strong>, Ireland Literature Exchange<\/strong>, el Instituto Vasco Etxepare<\/strong>, Poetry Ireland<\/strong>, y c\u00f3mo no, a la inestimable aportaci\u00f3n de Dublin City University<\/strong>, National University of Ireland in Galway<\/strong>, National University of Ireland in Maynooth<\/strong>. Trinity College Dublin<\/strong>, y University College Cork<\/strong>. Much\u00edsimas gracias a todos ellos.<\/p>\n

Como dijera Rosa Le\u00f3n<\/strong>, directora del Instituto Cervantes de Dubl\u00edn durante su discurso de inauguraci\u00f3n, \u00abten\u00eda que ser aqu\u00ed, en esta isla esmeralda, donde naciera y creciera nuestro festival, donde la semilla de nuestro esfuerzo diera sus frutos. En esta misma tierra donde tantos genios de la literatura cavaron antes con su pluma para fecundarla y enriquecerla, para hacerla abierta, acogedora y libre.<\/p>\n

Porque la gran riqueza de Irlanda es su cultura y su maravillosa tradici\u00f3n literaria, y esa poderosa fuerza se da la mano aqu\u00ed, en este festival, con la fuerza del espa\u00f1ol, con quinientos millones de seres humanos en cuatro continentes, con la segunda lengua de comunicaci\u00f3n a nivel internacional\u00bb.<\/em><\/p>\n

Rosa Le\u00f3n<\/strong> record\u00f3 tambi\u00e9n las hermosas palabras del presidente Michael D. Higgins<\/strong> durante su discurso en 2012 y, como no, tuvo de palabras de cari\u00f1o y reconocimiento hacia Seamus Heaney<\/strong>, cuya presencia estaba prevista en el festival desde antes del verano. Sus poemas, los mismos que \u00e9l hab\u00eda elegido para su lectura durante el Festival Isla, se hicieron presentes en la sala gracias a la voz del actor irland\u00e9s Tom Hickey<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Finalmente, Rosa Le\u00f3n<\/strong> cedi\u00f3 la palabra a otro gran amigo de Seamus y del propio Instituto Cervantes, el gran escritor irland\u00e9s John Banville<\/strong>, que \u00abde forma amabil\u00edsima y desinteresadamente atendi\u00f3 la llamada del Instituto Cervantes para cubrir la ausencia de Seamus Heaney<\/strong>\u00bb<\/em>.<\/p>\n

John Banville<\/strong>, en su intervenci\u00f3n, record\u00f3 la impresi\u00f3n que le hab\u00eda causado, en su primera visita a Espa\u00f1a, un hombre a caballo en la isla de Mallorca. Tambi\u00e9n record\u00f3 su visita a Am\u00e9rica del Sur para visitar la casa de la madre de Thomas Mann<\/strong> y nos hizo reflexionar, de este modo, sobre la universalidad de la literatura. Much\u00edsimas gracias, John, por tu generosidad.<\/p>\n

Esperamos que todos hayais disfrutado del Festival y esperamos tambi\u00e9n recibir vuestras sugerencias y aportaciones, para mejorar en lo que sea posible en la edici\u00f3n del Festival Isla de 2014 que hoy mismo comenzamos a preparar.<\/p>\n

Las fotos del festival est\u00e1n ya disponibles en nuestra p\u00e1gina de Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Los v\u00eddeos del Festival estar\u00e1n muy pronto disponibles en nuestro canal de Youtube<\/a>.<\/p>\n

During last weekend , we celebrated the 2nd Isla Literary Festival<\/a> . For the second year in a row , Ireland , Latin America and Spain joined at the Instituto Cervantes in Dublin to talk about literature and its surroundings.<\/p>\n

Once again , we thank the support and collaboration of institutions such as Dublin UNESCO City of Literature<\/strong>, Ireland Literature Exchange<\/strong> , Instituto Vasco Etxepare<\/strong>, Poetry Ireland<\/strong>, and of course, the invaluable contribution of Dublin City University<\/strong>, National University of Ireland in Galway<\/strong>, National University of Ireland in Maynooth,<\/strong>\u00a0Trinity College Dublin<\/strong>, and University College Cork<\/strong>. Many thanks to all of them.<\/p>\n

As Rosa Leon<\/strong>, director of Instituto Cervantes in Dublin, said during her speech , “our Festival had to be born in here , in the Emeral Isle. On this same land where many geniuses of literature dug with their pens to fertilize and to enrich it , to make it an open land, free and welcoming.<\/em><\/p>\n

Because the rich of Ireland is its culture and its wonderful literary tradition, and that powerful force joins hands here, in this festival, with the strength of the Spanish language, with half a billion of human beings on four continents , with the second language of international communication<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

Rosa Leon<\/strong> recalled as well the beautiful words of President Michael D. Higgins<\/strong> during his speech in 2012 and she had words of love and gratitude to Seamus Heaney<\/strong>, whose presence was expected at the Festival since before summer . His poems , the same poems he had chosen for reading during the Isla Festival, were present in the official opening thanks to the voice of the Irish actor Tom Hickey.<\/p>\n

Finally , Rosa Le\u00f3n<\/strong> gave the floor to another great friend of Seamus and Instituto Cervantes , the great Irish writer John Banville<\/strong> , who “so lovable and unselfishly answered our call to cover the absence of Seamus Heaney.”<\/em><\/p>\n

John Banville\u00a0<\/strong>recalled the impression that a man riding a horse in Mallorca made on him during his first visit to Spain. He also mentioned his trip to South America, to visit the house of Thomas Mann<\/strong>‘s mother and, in this way, he made \u200b\u200bus reflect on the universality of literature. Thank you , John , for your generosity .<\/p>\n

We hope you all have enjoyed the Festival as much as we did, and we look forward to receiving your suggestions and contributions to improve, as best as we can, the 3rd edition of our Isla Festival that we start preparing today.<\/p>\n

The photos of the Isla Festival 2013 are now available on our Facebook page<\/a> .<\/p>\n

The videos of the interviews we prepare will soon be available on our YouTube channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
