This is a wonderful essay that explores the purpose and relevance of Literature. This 74 year old Peruvian author has just been awarded the 2010 Nobel Prize for Literature. Llosa proposes that reading literature is one of ' the most necessary and primary undertakings of the mind' and that society will 'jeopardise its freedom' if engaging with literature and the act of reading is viewed as a trivial pastime. THIS ESSAY IS BRAIN FOOD for any engaged student of Literature. This resource is particularly relevant to A2 students considering the value of literature question for coursework.
