Tanya's Literary Journey is a personal literary journal written by Tanya Schneider. It is intended for readers interested in one reader's reflections on literature, reading habits, and how classic texts connect to modern culture.
The first section, Literature & me: Love at second sight?, describes Tanya's growing relationship with literature. She names her favourite genres (historical novels and adventure fiction) and favourite authors (Jane Austen and Jules Verne). She recalls the first book that impacted her, Desde el ojo del pez by Pablo de Santis, and includes a quote from Viviana Rivero's novel Sí.
The second section, Stuck with you, but it's not Ariana Grande, presents phrases from The Wife's Lament that caught Tanya's attention. She reflects on the poem as a record of medieval daily life, relationships, and the universal experience of distrust and betrayal.
The third section, Classic literature or Pop Culture?, compares Arthur from Le Morte d'Arthur with Captain America. Tanya discusses how Malory focuses on Arthur's virtues rather than his physical appearance, contrasting this with modern visual media that prioritise physical strength.
