Nothing better than knowing the land where one was born is true. But what better way to travel than to read, the great works of national writers. There is an endless amount of good literature at your fingertips, some states encourage people of all ages orienting them with the necessary information to know more about the country where they are born, this leads to publicizing certain books. There are countries with a literature development much larger than others, countries such as:


FUENTE

  • U.S.

  • England.

  • Russia.

  • France

  • Germany.

Where great figures of world literature have been highlighted. However, every small nation, however poor it may seem, has its literature. in my case the small country of Venezuela. Let's see what can be learned from this small but nutritious literary world of our country.

Let's start with the most important or better said those who have had more advertising coverage. Among them we have Romulo Gallegos, which is the flag of the great writers of our country.

  • Romulo Gallegos.

With her novel Doña Barbara we discover how the unbridled passion of a woman from the plains can generate the unimaginable adventure of a story that is not lost in its behavioral thread until ending in an outcome that keeps you in suspense. Through the novel you discover, many customs typical of the plains, their idiosyncrasy especially the time of the moment where the novel is developed.

The plain is beautiful and terrible, at the same time; it fits comfortably, beautiful life and atrocious death "

  • Manuel Diaz Rodriguez.

A writer little known, but who has a very unique style, his book "Broken Idols" takes us to the Caracas of the early twentieth century where the protagonist back to his homeland is deeply disappointed by the established order is one of the novels more pessimistic of Venezuela, but what does not imply that it is bad. It is a work that can not be lost from beginning to end is unique.

  • José Rafael Pocaterra.

One of the novelist writers and storyteller. In memories of a Venezuelan of decadence, he intensified one of the most severe criticisms of the regime of Juan Vicente Gómez. Certainly as a diplomat, much more was established outside the country. She was a great columnist of the press, I deeply love her country, and she wrote with her heart in her work that one can distinguish how one lived in times of dictatorship in twentieth-century Venezuela. A great author to travel in the letters of time.

  • Arturo Uslar Pietri.

An intellectual who held numerous positions, I think he has been one of the writers with the most international projection. Although more known for creating only a small and powerful article that has created even books, such as "The sowing of oil" was respected a literate man who took the culture to the screen and creating awareness in our youth of the 80 and 90 a creative writer of ideas. Reading to Uslar is knowing the country where you are born.

Oil is neither a harvest nor an income, but the continuous consumption of a capital deposited by nature in the subsoil.

In the distance great writers are admired, having here in our land a great potential to read. Let's never stop doing it.
