Gianni Rodari and Book Day
Excerpt from "The Grammar of Fantasy. An introduction to the art of inventing stories", by Gianni Rodari
What an unexpected find on Book Day, M. Gianni Rodari.
Maybe this excerpt from the first chapter is a good explanation why I called this blog las palabras mágicas / the magical words, (which is at any rate absolutely ridiculous, as this is a visual blog), probably just because a different language will produce different waves.
There is so much debate out there these days about the electronic versus paper version question: sociological, business, industry discussions that cannot hide the fact that we just can't do without the stories.

Ling magazine
Ling is the onboard magazine of the Spanish airline Vueling. I love it and its website. You can travel all over Europe meeting people and places and all the articles are written both in English and Spanish. The photos, illustrations and edition are really great. (I'm not doing this to get free tickets or anything, although it would be a great idea come to think of it)
Bon voyage!
