Our books in the House of Literature

 

A few weeks ago, the Peruvian House of Literature held a Cultural Day on the Network of Rural Libraries of Cajamarca and the Peasant Encyclopedia.

Part of this event was the presentation of the documentary: "Contributions for a film about the Rural Libraries Network of Cajamarca", as well as the reading and commentary of the book "Cosmovivencia" and some fragments of the Peasant Encyclopedia. They also made several of our publications available to readers, which were very well received.

And, of course, we could not miss the narration of some Cajamarcan stories compiled by our brothers and sisters in the different communities. It is good to know that these stories go a long way before reaching our homes: they are collected in the communities (in notebooks or recordings), organised by themes, processed, edited, reviewed and consulted to see if it is what each community member wanted to tell; finally, they are published and go to the communities, to our homes, to the schools. Therefore, it fills us with joy and hope to know that now they are also in other places, being valued by children, young people and adults, all enjoying the wisdom and witticisms of our grandparents.

Thank you very much, friends of the Peruvaian House of Literature, for spreading the culture of our communities.
