A literary text
What is the difference between a "common" text and a literary
text? And why is a text consider Literature?
The reason is simple: a literary text is full of energy; emotional energy that we can feel. for a text to have such energy it calls for words and use of language that is rather different from everyday language; oftenmany words are changed or transformed into others.
There are some literary texts that are considered as classics (like Dante's, Shakespeare's...), because they always tell something new to the news generations, they always let them feel their energy.
We can consider writing a form of art, something which distinguishes something from somebody else.
Art transform culture, ART IS TRANSFORMATION.
That is the reason why all the dictatorships (Nazis, Communists, ...) persecuted artists: for a dictatorship transformation is dangerous.
Their culture, their cross- cultural codes, behaviors and knowledge must remain the same, ortherwise their dictatorship and power will fall down.
