THE IMPORTANCE OF THE WORD LITERATURE AND READING
The word literature comes from Latin Litteratūra that means learning, writing and grammar.
We can affirm that literature began when the printing press was invented (by Johannes Gutenberg) in the fifteenth century and the written word began to spread. Later, in the seventeenth century, literature or eloquence was called literature. Then any text was understood by poetry, regardless of its gender and not necessarily in verse. (Raffino, 2019, https: // concept.of/literature/)
This form of expression put into practice for the first time by Greek philosophers in order to explain, putting words to living objects and beings and relate them. This allowed them to invent concepts to explain and understand the world better. Rae (s.f) states that it is the "art of verbal expression" (https: // dle.RAE.It is/literature?m = form).
Although there are currently many artifacts and elements that simplify our lives and do much of things for us such as calculators, computers, smartphones and more and more things, that becomes positive to some extent because this is so harmful to the Future that is so the concern that the first gym have already opened in France to exercise memory. The use of devices that you do tasks for us cause that it is not so easy effort to think, the most common of these is reading. Reading stimulates the brain and helps to be better preserved over time and if usual, avoid brain diseases such as senile dementia, alzheimer and cognitive loss that may occur from 50 years and facilitates the understanding of Prayers and phrases, increases our ability to concentrate, improves empathy and social skills, is good for neuronal connections. We can develop our personality, our own ideas, expand our point of view, critical thinking and opinion. The Spanish Society of Neurology (2013) tells us:
An active brain not only performs its functions better, but increases the speed of the response. While we read, we force our brain to think, to order ideas, to interrelate concepts, to exercise memory and imagine, which allows us to improve our intellectual capacity by stimulating our neurons. Reading also generates conversation issues, which facilitates interaction and social relationships, another key aspect to keep our brain exercised.

Literature is a wonderful source of knowing very important that teaches us to be more creative and that in addition to exercising our brain, it helps us interpret and better understand everything, it also improves our response speed. It is so important that the difference between a bad writer and a good one may be that it depends on its ability to select, contrast and their way of writing, which is enriched the more literature read. Literature is so good that to explain things nothing has been invented than words so far. It has a providing and very varied of genres, so people not only use it to meet that need that human beings have to instruct us, but also for leisure, and although we are not reading with the purpose of learning, unconsciously when reading by leisure, we are doing it, expanding our vocabulary accustoming us to read faster and faster. This is a source of experiences, since it leads us to a world that is different from our reality, causing you to put yourself in the place of the main character, this has a great emotional impact because it makes us feel emotions that we probably take years to discover, too, also also It makes us feel less because when a book hooks you loneliness is no longer present because you distract yourself and in these the writer opens your heart and mind and finally, it helps us face failure and feel stronger with the stories that are related.
With this spectacular means of learning, when reading and learning, you want to learn more and in doing so instruct us so much that, although currently freedom of expression and publication is the right in developed countries, before, and in some countries of today and cultures, censored some books or authors to hide painful and condemnable things for political and religious reasons. Ucha (2013) affirms that the Catholic Church was one of those who censored authors and their works because the Church considered them as immoral and that contradicted it, some of these were well -known authors worldwide like Victor Hugo, Motesquieu, Sartre, Copernicus , Disatres, Kant and others, and that politicians censored those who thought differently. But before all that, Caligula had censored the famous and famous Book of Homer, the Odyssey because he gave ideas of freedom to the Greek community. In the United Arab Emirates, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone was to promote witchcraft and Alicia in Wonderland in the same way in China, but for putting animals at the same level as people.
In conclusion, literature A and still contributes to the society and evolution of languages not only Spanish, but also of others such as English, French, etc. It is essential, so much so that the only possible way of life for anyone with longing and willingness to be someone or something in or for the world.
