Welcome to Litsy!

Halfway through a 19th-c. play by Peruvian author Clorinda Matto de Turner about Inca Princess Hima-Sumac's love triangle with Tupac-Amaru (pictured) and Gonzalo, a Spanish youth. As I am interested in female writers from the past & this work is not available in translation, I bit the bullet & am reading it in Spanish. It's difficult but doable.

Hey Littens,

I hope the motivation to read some classics is not affected by the heat (at least over here in Germany it is very, very hot). 🥵🌴

For the 3rd quarter, we'll tackle some stage writing!

Grab some lemonade, enjoy and tag me in your posts!☀️🏖

Read for #classicschallenge2025 and because I‘ve had it on my bookcase forever. Obviously very preachy and religious, but I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.

A new quarter is already here!
The year and the new season have started and it is time for new adventures!

This quarter we want to read some of the classic tales of adventure and discovery!

Get out your maps, pack your bundle or sea chest and off we go!

Years ago, I came across the poem “The Taxi” by Amy Lowell, and its final line has lived in my brain ever since: “Why should I leave you, / To wound myself upon the sharp edges of the night?” I‘ve meant to read a collection of her poetry ever since, but we all know how the TBR intentions sometimes go. So when it became apparent that in spite of my best intentions in January, I definitely wasn‘t going to get around to reading any (let alone all ⤵️

Classic religious poetry that I doubt I'll finish in time for Eid (not that I'd planned on that, but it would have been nifty) or before the end of the poetry quarter of #classicschallenge2025 because it's quite involved...

An excerpt from In the ‘Gu̇la̋nda‘ Bookshop by Kazakh author Yerlan Junis, a poem about books, bookshops, bookshelves and poets from an anthology available for free on https://www.cambridge.org/sites/default/files/media/documents/Kazakh_Poetry_Book... I don't mind that type of soft power move 😁 👏
