(PUC/RS/POA/1999-2)
TEXTO 1
Sylvia, a plump, pint-sized sexagenarian
who may even be slightly septuagenarian,
was indignant, “Hay-on-Wye is a town,
not a village!,” she says. Sylvia claims to
have a “typical Welsh face.” In other
words, the features of a rather special
ethnic group that looks upon the nearby
English with scornful disdain. This town
of 1,500 has acquired a unique status
because of the 500,000 people who visit
the place each year.
Local tourist brochures say that Hay,
located at the foot of the verdant
Radnorshire Hills, is the northernmost
point in Brecon Beacons National Park
south of the Wye river and has the Black
Mountains to its south and west. But
neither the park nor the mountains are
enough to explain why Hay attracts so
many visitors. Even Golden Valley,
which stretches eastward into English – in
other words, foreign – territory is not
sufficient. The exotic Welsh language -
strings of consonants with an occasional
stray vowel tossed in here and there – can
also be ruled out.
No, the real reason is that Hay has 31
bookstores for a population of 1,500.
Thirty-two if you count the beekeeper’s
shop located on the edge of town, where a
hundred or so books on bees stand next to
jars of honey.
(Air France Magazine, March 99)
