To write slope worked

 Last Thursday came to us to the writing of Magazine Atticus a new critique on a newly released book.

 From its beginnings Magazine Atticus has wanted to stand out for being a rigorous and lively publication in its contents. From here we have thrown different calls to take part in the making of the same one. Also we have spread different calls that include a wide bogey of the cultural panorama. También hemos difundido distintas convocatorias que abarcan un amplio espectro del panorama cultural.

 With the arrival of this critique an ethical doubt appeared us. Is it licit to spread or to publicize a work of which does not know its content except the exhibited in a small critique?

 During good report of the weekend this question has been latent in the head of several members of the Council of Writing.

 In big companies I imagine that this will be one it harasses habitually but for us he supposed an innovation and therefore a challenge.

 While we were coming to an agreement a book fell down in my hands. A book for all acquaintances. Driving away the content of the same one I came across with a few lines that were coming to me from “pearls“ to confront the quandary. If it was suitable or not the diffusion of a work knowing only the critique ordered by its author, in this case Tomás Prieto Martín. Ojeando el contenido del mismo me topé con unas cuántas líneas que me venían de “perlas”  para afrontar el dilema. Si era conveniente o no la difusión de una obra sabiendo solo la reseña mandada por su autor, en este caso Tomás Prieto Martín.

 In the prologue of the work with which I came across (that then I will say its name) he says something like that:

 I believe that it is good that so out-standing events, and perhaps never heard nor seen, are known by many people so that they should not be buried in the grave of the negligence, since it might be that they teach something to some readership and, which they do not deepen so much entertain them. Concerning this Plinio says that “there is no book, for villain who is, who does not have any good thing”, especially if we think that not the whole world has the same tastes, since what one does not eat, other wishes it, and what some do not appreciate, others estimate it. For it he should not despise any history, unless it is very detestable. On the contrary, one should communicate to all, especially if it does not cause damage and if of her someone one can extract fruit. Because, if it was not like that, very few would write for themselves, since to write slope worked, and, since they take it, the writers want to be rewarded, not with money, but with which the people read its works and boast them if there is motive for it.

 Por ello no debería menospreciar ninguna historia, a menos que sea muy detestable. Al contrario, debería comunicarse a todos, especialmente si no causa perjuicio y si de ella se puede sacar alguno fruto. Porque, si no fuese así, muy pocos escribirían para sí mismos, pues escribir cuesta trabajo, y, ya que se lo toman, los escritores quieren ser recompensados, no con dinero, sino con que la gente lea sus obras y se las alaben si hay motivo para ello.

 This here reported appears in The Tormes guide, anonymous work of the XVIth century (the chosen fragment is of the book The Tormes guide in its adapted version of Eduardo Alonso and edited by Vicens Vives in its collection Adapted Outstanding figures).

 The critique that Tomás Prieto Martín sent to us is the following one:

 THE SPOT PURPLE

This work, which action basically develops between Seville and other different points of the Spanish geography, immerses the reader in the mesenteries of the always fascinating and enigmatic world of the Secret Societies. It is an occasion to verify how the threads of the world move inside the hotel trade, and of how the Church, once again, it prefers its mercantile interests over its own beliefs and doctrines. Salmorelli, main personage of the novel, will fight along with the "Godfather", mister King, and its brothers of the "Family" to heighten the human values of the Sacred Society of Hotel trade, dedicating its lives to the advantage of safeguarding and defending zealously its secrets and mysteries surrounded always with a sacred aura. Managing in its determination to defend at any cost the values of a devaluated union, prostituido and forgotten in the time.  Salmorelli, personaje principal de la novela, luchará junto al “Padrino”, el señor Rey, y sus hermanos de la “Familia” por realzar los valores humanos de la Sagrada Sociedad de Hostelería, dedicando sus vidas en pro de salvaguardar y defender celosamente sus secretos y misterios rodeados siempre de un halo sagrado. Consiguiendo en su empeño defender a ultranza los valores de un gremio devaluado, prostituido y olvidado en el tiempo. 

On the author

 Expert in the power that has the imagination, it allows to demolish its mind in each and everyone of its histories. Born in Seville in 1970, writer self-educated and dedicated in body and soul to the world of the hotel trade give much child, Tomás Prieto Martín, sails with its letters across the always enigmatic world of the Secret Societies, Mafias, and all that that makes a detour especially to the black novel, without leaving aside either to the suspense or the love stories.
