This is the first book of a subseries included in Bibliotreatment.
Reading is therapeutic, and many of the issues that may be worrying
you have been broached by great writers whose insight sometimes
makes you wonder whether you/ someone you know have been spied on
to provide literary material. Despite a widespread belief to the
contrary, reading is not a passive but an extremely demanding
interactive process. It "involves mental activity, is embedded in
other communication abilities, and converts graphic stimuli into
meaning." Moreover, fiction works pose very real challenges. You
need to pierce through the level of the enunciated (the actual
words used and their arrangement in sentences) to reach the level
of enunciation (to put it simply, what lies behind the words; what
the author conveys even when she is not aware of actually having
meant what seems patent to you.) Between-the-lines reading is a
fascinating exercise in detection, association, comparison,
identification, debate, and much more. Active reading, the only way
to really profit from books, is reflected in notes pencilled on the
margins, highlighted phrases or passages, question and exclamation
marks, crosses, and the like. Nothing can be more wrong than to
think that a book is a "valuable," a "sacred" object that must be
preserved intact. Books call for intervention, in the same way as
some forms of contemporary visual art appropriate an object and
make a new imprint on it, thus turning it into a unique object, for
every intervention is exclusive and individual. The key, indeed, is
appropriation. Your copy, your interaction with the story, your
conclusions. Books have an ending, but are not truly finished until
readers reinterpret and actualize them. Enjoy your trip along these
pages. Marta Merajver-Kurlat is an Argentine author whose
attraction to the ways in which mankind tells its own history
encouraged her to undertake studies in myth, language, literature,
psychology, and psychoanalysis. Accordingly, her novels Just Toss
the Ashes, Los gloriosos sesenta y despues, and El tramo final
delve into intriguing aspects of human nature. A lecturer in
psychoanalytic associations of her country, she first took the
challenge of addressing non-specialists in psychological issues in
the self-help series entitled Bibliotreatment and released by Jorge
Pinto Books Inc. In 2009-2010. Reading for Personal Development
complements the series by recommending ten works of fiction of
infinite value for the advancement of personal improvement.
