The term literature comes from the Latin word Littera, which means letter or writing. Literature is closely linked to culture, which would be the manifestation of beauty through the written word. Tzvetan Todorov defines literature as "a means of taking a stand against the values of society; let's say once it is ideology. All literature has always been both: art and ideology. Maria Moliner has also defined literature as" the art that employs spoken or written word. We have different literary genres. Those genres are poetry, prose, drama, non-fiction, media and others.
