INTRODUCTION

This was the first time I was reading hypertext, so everything indicated it was going to be a new challenge. In this Narrative course I never expected that we were going to work with the Internet. It came as a surprise to me that we were going to read literature through the Internet. Hypertext… What is that? -I asked myself.

Well, hypertext is text that is not constrained to be linear, which contains links to other texts; it can include graphics, video and sound … it seemed interesting.

For my second paper I decided to read Milorad’s Pavic hypertext The Glass Snail. I chose this author because it wasn’t selected yet and it also attracted me the title, the length of the story and its mysterious touch.

I start my reading and from the very beginning I get hooked into the story. I used my blog to write down notes and in order to organise my paper, but it is only a rough draft. For me, the argument was a bit confusing but in the end I understood it.

I decided to include the author’s biography, because it may be interesting to know things about the author and his way of writing. It was a pity that I couldn’t communicate with him by email; he didn’t reply me so I desist.

The aspect I had to develop is space; so I decided to give my paper the title Space through The Glass Snail. I’ll present you a list of the chapters and their space references.

To end with, I will show you my conclusion of this paper where I show my personal opinion of doing this work.
