HELENA OR THE SEA IN SUMMER (JULIÁN AYESTA) AND VISIBLE SPECTRUM

All these doubts came from the fact that humans can´t really know anything of truly happens in the World. For instance, we can only see the colours between red and blue, but there are more of them. And then, tehre´s all this fuss about vibration speed and about infrared and ultraviolet



Visible light is the intervale of wavelengths or frequencies visible to the human eye. Outside this intervale are radio waves, micorwaves, infrared, ultraviolet, X rays... It seems appropiate, as an image of all the things mankind cannot iluminate with is knowledge. I like even more how the author admits that this is a mess, it reminds me of another text by Cela that reads "you don´t know a word about this"

KUDOS ( RACHEL CUSK) AND A LITTLE MISUNDERSTANDING ABOUT ENTROPY

It was unclear precisely why this had happened, she added, except that everything to do with literature always seemed to be shrinking, as though the world of books was governed by a principle of entropy while everything else proliferated and expanded.


I´m sorry to correct this post for two reasons. Firstly, because I don´t like telling people what it´s wrong and secondly, because I´ve enjoyed so much Rachel Cusk´s books that I think it´s not fair. But I have to admit that I´m not convinced in this idea of the principle of entropy aplied here in something that seems to be shrinking. In my humble opinion, the entropy tends to be joined to disorderly and huge growths

Just the opposite of what happens in her books, in which seems that nothing is happening but everyone who meets the narretor- author becomes an excelent talkative
