Our cultural roots

  • HI everyone,

    As we are going to deal with our cultural 

    roots, we propose a research about the most

    outstanding modern female writer in the

    Galician language: ROSALÍA DE CASTRO

    -Who was this woman?

    This woman is the most outstanding writer in the Galician language.

    -What literary movement did she belong to?

    Can we find something similar in your

    literary tradition of that period?

    She was one of most famous representatives of the Galician Revival. We have a similar person in our history. He is Krišjānis Valdemārs. He is considered to be an initiator of the Young Latvians movement. He has created a Latvian Song Cabinet with 268,815. They are similar because of their belonging to Revival of different countries and political influence. (Chris, year 8)

    - Why was she so important for Galician

    language and culture?

    She was important because she was one of the leading figures of the revival.

    - When do we commemorate her?


    We commerotae her on 17th May.

    To complete the challenge, could you  unscramble these verses she wrote?

    They are from one of her most famous poems.

    When you get it, what about reading them aloud and record it?

    Good luck!!!

    CHALLENGE FROM LATVIA:

    1. Try to guess, which one of these fragments was written by Rainis?

    (There is only one correct answer)

     

    1. Sokrats tai atteica laipni:

    "Kad ciemiņi ir mani draugi,

    Viņiem būs gluži viss viens,

    Vai es nu uzposts vai ne.

     

    2. Sieviete — tu esi trausla puķe,

    kuru mīlestības reibons šūpo

    smaržīgos un siltos tumšos viļņos,

    galvā mirdzinājot zelta kroni.

    Sieviete – tu skaistākā starp puķēm

     

    3. Kā lai izskaidro Savu mīlu pret Tevi

    Kā lai es sniedzu to ko vēlos

    Vai skumjas manas tev svarīgas

    Liktenis saveda, bet pagātne neļauj

     

    4. Aizved mani no draugiem, no radiem,

    Aizved mani no dienas, no nakts,

    Lai es pabūtu ārpus gadiem,

    ārpus visa, kas tajos reiz rakts!

     

    2. There is one of Rainis works. Your task is to record how you read it in Latvian and send the recording to us.

    Jūras mīla

    Es dzirdu jūras raudas

    No senās senatnes,

    Es klausos kā bez jaudas,

    Vējš tuvāk un tuvāk tās nes.

     

    Tās skan arvienu plašāk,

    Dzird toni jau skaidrāku,

    Tās ašāk steidz un ašāk,

    Es balsi jau izšķiru:

     

    Tās ir tās gaviļu grausmas,

    Tas lielais skanošais prieks —

    Mans mīlulīt's sāpēs un drausmās

    Baltmirdzošs kā putu sniegs.
