In the previous post I was talking about entertaining literature. But how much do we know about literature, which connected with difficult political and social issues? Exactly this question played the main role in LSE Literary Festival, where different authors delivered speeches on various topics.
Gabriela Ambrosio, the author of the novel Prima di Lasciarsi ( Before we say goodbye), created her novel based on a true story of seventeen year-old Palestinian girl, who committed suicide bombing. The material of Gabriella Ambrosio has gained popularity and is now used as educational allowances at schools and human rights organizations.
Vered Cohen-Barzillay is the founder of Novel Rights social organization that believes that art, especially literature, has the ability to change and motivate people to action. The Novel Rights organization's work focuses on the development of the literary community as well as on the enrichment of people's knowledge about human rights and violations.
Marina Nemat is a creator of the memoir Prisoner of Tehran. In her novel she tells about her difficult life in Iran. She was imprisoned for speaking out against the government of Iran, and even sentenced to death. In Prisoner of Tehran, Marina Nemat tells the story of how she managed to avoid the death penalty and start a new life in Canada. In December 2007 she was awarded the first Human Dignity Prize by the European Parliament and the Cultural Association Europe. Later, the Novel Rights published the electronic version of Leila, a new story by Marina Nemat.
I think that kind of events deserve respect and admiration. These people came to the Literary Festival to talk about significance of human rights and possibility of spreading information through literature. It seems to me that it is a very intelligent way of communication. What do you think?
