Hache Award has started its meetings with readers by the hand of the writer Marinella Terzi, candidate for the prize with his novel False still life, a story that claims the representation of women in art.
The presentation took place in front of 600 readers in the auditorium of the UPCT by Carmen Usero, librarian and member of the Leadership Team, with the assistance and participation of the councilor of Culture, Ricardo Segado.
False Still Life tells the story of women in a different era where art, specifically painting, appears as the protagonist.
On the one hand readers are daily Carmen, great-grandmother Ingrid, in the early twentieth century, a modern woman for her time but still live long in the shadow of her husband, a famous and renowned painter.
But this book also tells the story of young girls today by Ingrid, a young woman of 16 who has the much clearer than his great-grandmother ideas.
Marinella Terzi describes it as an optimistic book that exposes how things have been in history, and that tells you that today will be better.
The writer wanted to thank and highlight the work of Hache, aimed at readers 12 to 14 years Prize, since in children's literature is missing to be the same readers who decide what they want to read.
I think children's literature still have to be more careful than adults because they are the future. If we want to remain readers have to give them stories that excites them and makes them think and are not mere diversions, added Marinella.
The author has put the icing on the cake of meetings with students in the auditorium of the UPCT front of 600 students, an act that joins the meeting with young Intercultural Center for Children on the afternoon of Wednesday, February 10 and students of IES Isaac Peral on the morning of Thursday, February 11.
