Literature

Our literature is deveveloping quite fast, for many years it has been highly influenced by our political process after the coup (1973)

Young people fought to find a place to express themselves, they were not allowed to publish they work, not only because of their ideas, but also the luck of money. Nowdays, our literature grows freely and writters allowed themselves to write about differents aspects of life such as.

a) These who write about a sort of science-fiction but related to their own senses.

b) A kind of sociological writters, creating differents characters who show the reality of our society, but the author keep himself as an spectator. This gender is very critical of our every day way of living.

c) Romantic writters, highly influenced by the past and romanticism, bringing into our days poets, that somehow have been forgotten

Among all these subjets, the political one has been used the most. Many books about political prisioners, torture or people who have returned to the country after many years have been written by youngs authors.
