CafeLitt 23: Pablo Neruda

Thu 21 Jun 2007, 17:43, by , at Cafe Linda: (Map)

Subject: Pablo Neruda
Presented by: Mehdi Keshtkar
Date:21 Jun. 2007

Ricardo Eliecer Neftalí Reyes Basoalto, pennamed PABLO NERUDA was the noble winner for literature in 1971. In this session Neruda's biography was reviewed.
The Colombian novelist
novelist Gabriel García Márquez has called him "the greatest poet of the 20th century in any language"...

We read some of his poems. But the discussing point of our session was the weakness in translation from original language to destination language, specially when we face poems.

About us

CaféLitt is not a place; it is a gathering of minds. We are a group of mostly Persian young students, scholars and professionals who gather every Thursday evening around 19h00 in a café to discuss various subjects and share different ideas, ranging vastly from history to science, from literature to fine arts. We started these gatherings on Jan 18th, 2007. Each week, one of us takes the responsibility of presenting a topic (in Persian, English or French) for about an hour in a subject s/he is intimately familiar with or has an expertise in. Afterwards, the evening turns into a discussion forum and all members of the audience will have an opportunity to ask their question(s) and share their points of view.
CaféLitt is open to all comments, suggestion, collaboration and new ideas. CaféLitt provides an unparalleled opportunity for learning about culture, science and philosophy in a relaxed and friendly environment, and for sharing your knowledge and expertise with like-minded members of your community.
CaféLitt is officially registered as a non-profitable group and is a nonpartisan, nonreligious and nonpolitical entity.
