Jack London

Leí no hace mucho una biografía de Jack London, casi en paralelo con "Martin Eden": una biografía cruda y a veces sórdida, pero también sugerente. Su autor, Alex Kershaw, es inglés. Se cumplen en estas fechas los cien años de "La llamada de la selva", el "capolavoro" de ese escritor incombustible —al menos en el área hispanoparlante: más de una docena de títulos suyos se publican todos los años en castellano— que es Jack London. Sirva la efemérides para justificar el comentario que os propongo.

Please feel free

While the "P&C" Committee is working on the Programme for the Seminar, I would like to suggest and recommend to you all to feel free to use this platform as a means of intercommunication. This weblog is intended as an informal get-together, as well as being the site for the formal work on the Seminar's sessions.

Please feel free to provide a clip or citation from topics or authors you have read recently wich are related to "P&C", writing a brief comment (a couple of paragraphs or so) saying why you think that text is relevant. These will act like sparks to ignite an interesting dialog.

P&C Project:
Experts in humanity


  • The Poetics and Christianity Project is an international forum for studiyng the intersection of artistic culture and expressions of religious faith, with a special emphasis on narrative and dramatic arts. It offers a meeting place for scholars and artist of diverse fields of expertise.

    * * *
    “ For tragedy is an imitation ('mimesis'), not of men, but of an action ('praxeos') and of life, and life consists in action, and its end is a mode of action ('to telos praxeis tis estin'), not a quality. Now character determines men's qualities, but it is by their actions that they are happy or the reverse.”

    [Aristotle’s Poetics, 50 a 16-18]


    “ There is a need for heralds of the Gospel who are experts in humanity, who have a profound knowledge of the heart of present-day man, sharing his joys and hopes, his anguish and sadness, and who are also contemplative souls, in love with God. “

    [Pope John Paul II to the European Council of Bishops' Conferences, 11-10-85]
