Calling all book blogs

Hi. I’m a book blog in desperate need of more book blogs to follow since my dash is dead in the book department. So please like or reblog this so I know where my people are at!

NB: This is a side blog so I will follow you as ‘bittersweetrecovery’ but all things book related go onto this blog :-)

#booksandcupcakes #bookphotochallenge Finally doing the Book Photo Challenge. Day 1 favorite title. The Millennium trilogy’s names, in Spanish, are my fave. #books

[sailorvegana]

El primer día del Book Photo Challenge, título favorito. Me encantan los títulos de la trilogía Millenium de Stieg Larsson. Creo que son casi un spoiler de su contenido, pero no lo imaginas hasta que lo lees, y en cierta medida también son metafóricos.  La obra de Larsson es una gran manera de llamar la atención sobre la misoginia en los países nórdicos, lo que es un gran problema.

#bookphotochallenge day 2 (late): bursting with laughter. #fightclub always makes me laugh, as do the crisis of masculinity (or any gender identity) which was what inspired #Palahniuk to write this :)

Give me the all of these

I feel it’s one of the great tragedies of my own life that I don’t have one of these.

[librosyaposeidos]

Cuando era pequeña, leí como mucha gente Las Crónicas de Narnia. A pesar que los hermanos Pevensie no permanecen durante los siete libros como personajes protagónicos, Susana siempre fue mi favorita. Me gustaba que fuera una hermana mayor, que fuera fuerte, inteligente, que peleara, que buscara soluciones y nunca se dejara derrotar. Siempre sentí que muchas partes de mí misma estaban representados en Susana, y que en lo demás era como yo quería ser.

Entonces, el final, La Última Batalla, siempre me chocó. Si no has leído ese libro, entonces no sigas porque puede ser un gran spoiler.

Porque aunque Pedro, Edmundo, y Lucía volvían a Narnia para salvar el día, Susana no. Y hacia el final del libro, te dicen que Susana ya no creía en Narnia, y que por eso no estaba con ellos. Dicen que se refería a Narnia como un "juego que tenían de niños", y que ahora se interesaba por chicos y maquillaje. Hay dos discursos aquí, derogatorios hacia Susana.

En primer lugar, creo que no es sorpresa para nadie saber que Las Crónicas de Narnia son una metáfora al cristianismo. Es muy evidente en El León, la Bruja y el Ropero, donde Aslan representa a dios y a Jesús (recuerden como Aslan se sacrifica por Edmundo, lo humillan y matan pero vuelve a vivir para salvar el día). Que Susana ya no crea en Narnia quiere decir que Susana deja de creer en dios. Se convierte en agnóstica o atea. Acá se hace burla de sus creencias. Por un lado, se nos presenta a Narnia/el cristianismo como real. Es el mundo que crea C.S. Lewis, Aslan es real, Narnia es real, tan reales como los hermanos Pevensie.

Por lo tanto, cuando se cita a Susana diciendo que Narnia era un juego de niños, se está riendo de su ridícula idea de considerar al mundo real como imaginario. Se establece un paralelo para señalar que cuando una persona reniega de dios o del cristianismo como algo para niños o que se le inculcó de niño, está rechazando la realidad. 

Hacia el final de La Última Batalla, nos enteramos que Pedro, Edmundo, y Lucía murieron en un accidente de tren, al igual que sus padres. Todos ellos llegan a Narnia, como una especie de cielo. C.S. Lewis crea una realidad de mundos dentro de mundos, al referirse a Narnia como una especie de plano superior a la tierra, donde habría otro plano superior a Narnia, y así hacia el infinito. Pero Susana no está ahí, porque ella no cree. C.S. Lewis mata a Pedro, Edmundo, Lucía y a sus padres para probar un punto. Ellos son buenos creyentes, por lo que son premiados con una vida en un plano superior. Susana no. Ella vivirá en Inglaterra post segunda guerra mundial, huérfana y sin hermanos, hasta que muera de manera natural. 

Por otro lado, se menciona que Susana ha crecido y se preocupa de muchachos y maquillaje. Se establece que ahora deja sus ocupaciones religiosas (como establecimos anteriormente) por ocupaciones terrenales y superficiales, típicamente femeninas. Susana es reducida aún más como personaje por interesarse en ocupaciones femeninas. Es una forma velada de misoginia por parte de Lewis. Es superficial y se preocupa por cosas de mujeres, por eso, tampoco merece Narnia/el cielo. Se castiga a Susana por sus elecciones. Finalmente, podemos concluir que Susana es una metáfora para mostrar como agnósticos y ateos no serán salvados ni conocerán planos de consciencia superior /el cielo, y que las mujeres superficiales y típicamente femeninas tampoco merecen salvación, por centrar su atención en cosas distintas a dios. Susana es castigada por tomar elecciones libres distintas a Aslan/a dios.

El rechazo y el castigo que reciben Susana (quien a fin de cuentas es ahora huérfana y ha perdido a sus hermanos) los siento dirigidos a mí, como persona atea y femenina. Por eso, C.S. Lewis, espero que sepas, si aún existes por ahí, que tus amenazas no me amedrentan. Susana y yo tenemos más en común de lo que habrías querido, y precisamente donde tú querías que no lo tuviéramos.
