Resumen
Every year, literary creation surprises us through the Interscholar
Short Story Contest, organized by the Interscholar
Direction Department of Andrés Bello University and sponsored
by Writer Society of Chile, SECH.
This initiative allows that more than a thousand young creators
throughout the country, lay their thoughts and feelings
in a piece of paper, transforming them into original
stories.
We really value this dedication that ends up in a piece of
work. These tales talk about our own time, our questions,
hopes and dreanis, specially our youth's. This is why our
institution considers necessary to set up a written registration
and makes the task of introducing this new book, a goal
of its own. This book contains the prized works of the 2012
Interscholar Short Story Contest.
You will be able to find original and creative stories, as well
as rich prose and really interesting characters. The judges
have determined winners, honor mentions and special
prizes in seats located in Santiago, Concepción and Viña
del Mar. These stories were sent from all over the country.
They also include a small paragraph that tells the reader the
writer's motivation for creating such story.
Oral and written communication are fundamental for educational
processes so as this base has been left behind lately,
our University is convinced that it is necessary to increase
the interest for reading and writing in our society.
We appreciate the commitment of SECH that will allow
these young creators and the whole university community,
to have the opportunity of sharing the presentation of this
book with well-known writers that play a very important
role in our culture.
We hope this Contest and the publishing of this book, may
beco me a new start for these students that show us so early
a real vocation for art and specially words.
We also appreciate the participation of distinguished writers
such as Jaime Quezada, Reynaldo Lacámara, Pablo Azócar,
Guido Eytel, Rolando Rojo, Juan Cameron, Marcela Sandoval
and Silviana Riqueiros as judges of the 2012 Interscholar
Short Story Contest in Spanish and English. To each of
them, our recognition.
We deeply value the hard work of our Humanities and Education
Faculty academics and directors, specially professors
Salvador Lanas, Stefanie Massmann, Norma Drouilly, Kristov
Cerda and María Soledad Carriel. Thank you for doing
such a good job.
Finally, thanks to all the teachers who participated in the
pre-selection of these short stories and to the encharged
writers of editing this book. Thanks to our sponsors Librería
Antártica and El Mercurio.
It is time now to celebrate our young authors by reading
each page of the present edition.
