It has been said: “Every story is meant to be a love story. ” If you look at it, even in horror stories there is a character that you love or want to save.
It is also known that the intensity of loving passion is melted into conflicts, obstacles and trials.
“We don’t care if our families hate each other,” Romeo and Juliet declare.
“Our passion is essential even if we belong to different races or species,” Bella, Edward and Jacob prove, over and over again through their actions and sacrifices.
“You will not win this bet,” the Marquise de Merteuil challenges the Viscount de Valmont.
Consuelo, from Cienfuegos, abandons her job and her home, and even breaks her father’s heart by leaving a letter after running away with her beloved sailor:
“Father: love on which I base/ my happiness made me/ unworthy of you, good/ your daughter who goes far, / unchanging/ chosen her heart follows.”Jagua ballads)
Marcelino Guerra, also from Cienfuegos, Rapindeyis a musical inspiration, responsible for immortalizing these verses from Bienvenido Julián Gutiérrez that sum up the desires and concerns of so many lovers:
“A modern insomnia where love lived,
This is how you are, lady:
The beginning and end of the scene,
That’s how you are in my heart,
“That’s how you’re motivated.”
Challenge prejudices, prohibitions, barriers from loved ones; they seem to be the “symptoms” of that reckless fever that drives lovers all the time losing sleep in the effort, but remaining faithful to the illusion; those who reached a holy place on the altar of our memory feel. (About guards, that is, stupid lovers, Silvio already warned that “they do not become stories, they live there.)
But it is not fear that defines true lovers but that closeness that is proof of walls and obstacles.
To be honest, there is also a lot of pain in love or passionate passion; Not everything has a happy ending, eh?
Otherwise, crimes of passion would not be driven by jealousy, desperation or tares: there is Hera, killing Zeus’s lovers, Othello killing Desdemona because of Iago’s mind.
Likewise, there are many ways to love. You can love yourself as Narcissus or Dorian Gray used to; or choose someone of your own gender (even if they were not of the same social class as you), as Maurice did by choosing Alec Scudder; or the beautiful Jules when she reconciles with her lover Nic while still being a dedicated mother to two children.
You can try to live a married life with a man who disappears or skips through time, as Clare Abshire preferred to do, despite all the strange inconveniences; or maybe you just don’t believe in love and even doubt it exists, according to the disbelieving journalist Fernández de Hearts released.
No one said the Art of Love was simple. Look, there is also infidelity, abandonment and disappointment, the “Wuthering Heights”, the “ages of innocence”, the Anas who throw themselves under the train wheels of life … the universal love and/ or erotic culture. Perhaps the essential thing to ask is:
Who do you love and what is your love making style?
For our part, we will try to please you. Inspired by the celebration of the 205th anniversary of the founding of Fernandina de Jagua, we announce the creation of a new collection entitled AdA, an acronym for the expression Arte de Amar.
For more romantic readers, the AdA: Art of Loving Collection will include the (H)AdA section: poetry and narrative for girls, young people and women. The so-called pink literature has an important tradition in our country. Let’s remember José Ángel Buesa, for example.
Also, since fairies are fantastic visions, in this section of the collection, we intend to publish those stories or collections of poems that can be linked to Fantasy, magical realism and science fiction.
Also HAdA with h, includes romantic literature that is mixed with humor and humor.
For those readers who prefer stronger emotions, even violent ones, we recommend the section AdA(N), where the romantic novel will be intertwined with eroticism, detective fiction, crime novels, horror, various paraphilias, and why also with stories against treason , because as a character in one of these says, “Treachers also fall in love.”
The collection begins with the collection The strange paradise, Cuban stories of different erotica. A collection of 36 erotic stories by Cuban authors, curated by Milho Montenegro and David Martínez Balsa. This book will be presented on April 23, at 4 pm at the headquarters of the Florentino Morales literary promotion center (Dionisio San Roman bookstore), located on the corner of Boulevard and Prado. Everyone is invited.
And as above I asked the question: Who do you prefer and what is your love style?
