Prologues to literary anthologies

The prologue is a note found at the beginning of a work , whether it is of

different genres, such as literary or journalistic. Many times, these notes are
usually narrated by the author himself to explain some elements of the work that
he considers fundamental or to tell what motivated him to write the work. Other
times the prologues are written by renowned people or acquaintances of the
author, whose function is to evaluate or explain the work.

Some examples of prologues are:

Example 1 :

“ When the idea of creating an anthology of poems related to politics and freedom
was proposed to me, I felt very attracted to the idea. This project immersed me in
the world of poetry from all times and all continents. It allowed me to reread works
that had already been presented to me in my life and others that I was totally
unaware of.

The diversity I found is not limited to cultural or historical issues, but includes an
enormous variety of literary resources, word games, structures, emotions, among
many other elements that have amazed me. That is why, along with each poem,
the version in its original language has been preserved, since everyone knows
how much is lost when it comes to translation.

The order in which these works have been organized follows a simple
chronological scheme in order to make a passage through history through the
beauty of art.

I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed the compilation.”

Example 2 :

“I have the great pleasure of presenting this masterpiece, whose author is not only
a colleague but also a lifelong friend. Although I appreciate all the work done by
this excellent writer, I consider it important to confess my preference for this latest
creation. Below I will explain why. Although his previous works are characterized
by their realism and brilliant writing, this work is accompanied by exquisite
journalistic work, where the dedication to the exhaustive research that has been
carried out is exposed. The simplicity with which very complex events are
explained is notable, allowing readers without specific knowledge of the topic to
understand the chosen topic without major difficulties.

This is a work that adults and children can enjoy, even a good excuse to create a
bond. I trust that this book will become a classic in the libraries of many families
and good study material in high schools and universities. This is due to the wealth
of both the information that is provided to us and the artistic level that this artist
offers us.

I appreciate the space to share with readers the feelings that this work generated
in me and to congratulate the writer for his excellent work.”

Example 3:

“ In just several months the first edition of my work was sold out. That is why I have
decided to make a second edition after a year, including issues that I find
interesting and enrich the topic covered. I also consider it essential to update some
data and correct certain errors that I have made.

I would like to thank the publisher for lending me their collaboration for the second
time and all those people who helped me make the corresponding modifications.
Finally, I am grateful for the recognition of my colleagues and readers who have
come forward to continue the debate proposed in the book.”

Example 4 :

“This book was first published in 1885. It brings together twenty-two stories, which
are considered the best of this author. As you probably know, he is considered one
of the great artists of literature. That is why we have decided to make a final edition
that includes explanations and appreciations made by other recognized writers.
Furthermore, we try to make an edition that is accessible to all the public who
requires it. Although it was initially intended mainly for young readers who are
introduced to the wonderful worlds that this artist created for us, we trust that many
people who already know him will enjoy rereading it again. We even hope that
people who have not yet had the good fortune to venture into these pages for
different reasons will come to us. Although our objectives seem difficult to achieve,
we believe that it will be possible to reach many people due to the importance of
this book. The significance of this work is not only due to its richness, but also to its
durability over time, which makes it a must-read for lovers of the art of writing.”

Warning Notes

A literary warning is a preliminary text in which the author warns the reader of
some issue that must be taken into account before starting to read the book. For
example, when it comes to a reprint, the author or publisher clarifies whether the
work retains the structure of the previous edition or if there are notable alterations
or expansions.

Another example of a common warning is one in which the author comments on

issues that have to do with controversies that have taken place when the work
became known. This is the case of the warning in Moratín's “The Yes of the Girls,”
in which the author defends the piece against the attempts that were made to
censor it:

(Fragment:)

“Public approval repressed the impetus of the popular critics: they printed nothing
against this comedy and the multitude of examinations, notes, warnings and
observations to which it gave rise, as well as the responses and defenses that
were made of it, all the yes of the girls was left handwritten. Consequently, these
imperfect reliefs could not be enough to satisfy the animosity of the author's
emulators, nor the resentment of those who resist all enlightenment and persist in
perpetuating the darkness of ignorance. They responded in the most convenient,
quickest and most effective way, and if they did not achieve the result they
expected, it should not be attributed to their lack of diligence. There were many
denunciations that were made about this comedy to the court of the Inquisition.
The evaluators had no little to do in examining them and fixing their opinion
regarding the passages cited as reprehensible; and in fact, it was no small difficulty
to find such in a work in which there is not a single proposition opposed to dogma
or Christian morality.”

Introductions

In an essay, article or book, the introduction is a section created initially whose

main purpose is to contextualize the source or reviewed text that is presented
below, generally in the form of a body or development of the topic, and later as a
contextualization of conclusions.

The introduction usually describes the scope of the document, and gives a brief
explanation or summary of it. It can also explain some background that is important
for the subsequent development of the central theme. A reader reading the
introduction should be able to get an idea about the content of the text, before
starting the actual reading.

Dedications

A dedication is called the letter or brief note with which a work is headed, directing
it and offering it to one person or several, or eventually to a group.

They can be expressed in prose or handwritten, and generally indicate feelings of

gratitude or literary principles. They are synonymous with this term: tribute ,
offering , testimony , gratitude .

In poetry and the epistolary genre, the dedication frequently becomes a title. The
printed matter has it at the beginning, in block letters or handwritten.

Presentations
Presentation is the process by which you make common phrases on a topic
available to an audience. A presentation is a way of offering and showing data
information and research results. It is generally used as support to express the
results of an investigation because with the presentation there is multimedia
content (that is, any visual or auditory support) that provides a reference on the
topic and helps explain the data obtained from an investigation. . A presentation
can contain text, images, videos and audio files. It can be divided into two types:
the multimedia presentation which is generally most used through a presentation
program but which is also possible through posters with images and audio
generally recorded for playback (used to present products, projects, etc. .). Or the
regular presentation (this one only uses images and text on posters), a
presentation that contains only images, often accompanied by effects or overlaid
text; The same thing that happens with the multimedia presentation happens with
this type of presentation since it can be done both in a presentation program and
through supporting posters that help express a topic.

Theorem

A theorem is a proposition that affirms a demonstrable truth. In mathematics, it is

any proposition that, based on an assumption (hypothesis), affirms a truth (thesis)
that is not self-evident.

A theorem is a well-formed formula that can be proven within a formal system,

starting from axioms or other theorems. Proving theorems is a central issue in
mathematical logic. Theorems can also be expressed in formalized natural
language.

A theorem generally has a number of premises that must be listed or clarified

beforehand. Then there is a conclusion, a logical or mathematical statement, which
is true under the given conditions. The informative content of the theorem is the
relationship that exists between the hypotheses and the thesis or conclusion.

biography of pythagoras

Pythagoras of Samos (Ancient Greek Πυθαγόρας) ( ca. 569 BC c. – ca. 475 BC

c. ) was a Greek philosopher and mathematician considered the first pure
mathematician . He contributed significantly to the advancement of Hellenic
mathematics, geometry and arithmetic, derived particularly from numerical
relationships, and applied for example to the theory of weights and measures, to
the theory of music or to astronomy. He is the founder of the Pythagorean
Brotherhood, a society that, although predominantly religious in nature, was also
interested in medicine, cosmology, philosophy, ethics and politics, among other
disciplines. Pythagoreanism formulated principles that influenced both Plato and
Aristotle and, more generally, the subsequent development of mathematics and
rational philosophy in the West.

Pythagoras's father was Mnesarchus, a merchant from Tyre; and his mother,
Pythais, originally from Samos, in Ionia. Most historians agree that it flourished
around 532 BC, in the times of Polycrates and Tarquin the Proud.

Pythagoras lived the first years of his life on Samos and accompanied his father on
many of his travels; He was certainly educated: he learned to play the lyre, to write
poetry and to recite Homer. It is possible that his father took him to Tire and that
there he received instruction from Chaldeans and learned men from Syria. Among
his teachers, three philosophers are mentioned: Pherecydes of Syros, who is often
described as the teacher of Pythagoras; Thales and his pupil, Anaximander.
According to Iamblichus, in his Life of Pythagoras , at the age of 18 or 20,
Pythagoras visited Thales, at Miletus. Although Thales must have already been an
old man at that time, he would have made a strong impression on the young
Pythagoras, interesting him in mathematics and astronomy, and advising him to
visit Egypt to learn more about these issues. Anaximander taught the teachings of
Thales, lectures which Pythagoras attended, and many of his ideas on geometry
and cosmology influenced his own vision.
