On December 10 in Stockholm Herta Müller received the Nobel Prize for Literature 2009. According to this, the lady (an almost unknown to many) is the Romanian-German poet.
Each delivers a novel that immediately people rush to buy their books, the author turns to worship, and of course in addition to the millocito of dollars that no one falls ill, won international prestige. Thus each novel delivery of literature emerges cueestion deserved it "? Was Buana the decision? "There was no one better?
In this regard, I read an article in El Universal from which they extract the following passage with reference system to those writers who deserved the Nobel, and never did.
Beyond what we loosely arranged Alfred Nobel, the Swedish Academy has established the following requirements to award the prize: the candidate must have a literary heritage more or less extensive (much better if it covers various genres) with influence at least in the field of language and have created a "magnum opus" outlining their concerns, the main thematic lines and stylistic resources.
There are other parameters, even more important than literary, which have equally illustrious anointed unknown buried forever the aspirations of others, in his work and his public life the winner must possess some degree ideological consistency, will have to defend political freedom, artistic and resolutely fail awareness and authoritarianism.
Whenever we talk about it, appear the names of writers whose literary quality causes a broad consensus. They are the classics in any language: Russian Lev Tolstoy, Marcel Proust and the French Marguerite Yourcenar, the Irishman James Joyce, Robert Musil German, English Virginia Woolf and the Argentine Jorge Luis Borges may well have been awarded without many rise up the eyebrows.
Other writers have been very influential in their respective languages: Czech-Austrian-German Rainer Maria Rilke, Americans Mark Twain and Henry James, the British DH Lawrence, Gilbert Keith Chesterton, HG Wells and George Orwell , the Nicaraguan Ruben Dario Peruvian César Vallejo, the English Benito Pérez Galdós, Miguel de Unamuno and Antonio Machado, the French Paul Valéry and Paul Claudel, Polish-English Joseph Conrad and Greek Konstantinos Nikos Kazantzakis and Cavafy.
One of the criteria that the Swedish Academy noted in granting the literary prize is political correctness. The absence of this explains why some authors ruled out solid work, but who openly advocated an ideological orientation. Communists are authors as Italo Calvino and Italian Cesare Pavese, the Argentine Julio Cortázar, the German Bertolt Brecht, Vladimir Mayakovsky the Soviet and the Frenchman André Malraux, or supporters of anti-Semitism, such as French Louis Ferdinand Céline or Ezra Pound U.S..
Nor have gained recognition Chilean Nicanor Parra, the Russian-American Vladimir Nabokov, the Italian Alberto Moravia, the Austrian Arthur Schnitzler and Americans John Dos Passos, Tennessee Williams. Some were part of the intellectual domain of academics and ignored it, as the Norwegian Henrik Ibsen, August Strindberg, Swedish and Russian Anton Chekhov.
Authors whose work was varied and bordered on disciplines such as history and philosophy have also been excluded the most universal recognition of letters. The Italian Giovanni Papini, the Austrian Stefan Zweig and Robert Graves English example.
The outsiders
not have won the marginal writers who were at the heart of life and / or work. The rebellion, sexuality, drugs, violence or alcoholism away from the Japanese Nobel Yukio Mishima, the British Malcolm Lowry, Dylan Thomas, Aldous Huxley and Anthony Burgess, the Americans William Burroughs, Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg , the French Jean Genet and Antonin Artaud and the Uruguayan Juan Carlos Onetti.
The work of some now classic literature, was known long after his death, so no way could have won the award, despite its undeniable merits: Franz Kafka Czech and Portuguese Fernando Pessoa are here .
authors have also appeared to be practiced without proper literary expression in the art. It was proposed to U.S. journalists as Norman Mailer and Truman Capote and the Belarusian-Polish Ryszard Kapuscinski. And mentioned critics, historians, literary theorists and even musicians have high quality letters. But neither has been granted this recognition.
Among the American contemporaries, much has been said that the Peruvian Mario Vargas Llosa and Carlos Fuentes and Jose Emilio Pacheco may well deserve the Nobel.
insurance in this account are not all that can or could have obtained the highest literary honor, but a lot of deserving or deserved.
finally we will have to read to the lady, maybe I'll go as Pamuk, which is excellent novelist.
