WORLD BOOK AND COPYRIGHT DAY

400 years ago two of the most well-known writers of world literature died: Miguel de Cervantes and William Shakespeare. That's why we are celebrating Book Day today! Although in England they celebrate it on the 1st Thursday of March!

The connection between 23 April and books was first made in 1923 by booksellers in Catalonia, Spain. The original idea was of the Valencian writer Vicente Clavel Andrés as a way to honour the author Miguel de Cervantes, who died on this date. 

Vicente Clavel from www.diadellibro.eu

In 1995 UNESCO decided that the World Book and Copyright Day would be celebrated on 23 April, as the date is also the anniversary of the death of William Shakespeare and Inca Garcilaso de la Vega.

Ledicia (3º ESO A) has very kindly recorded a brief podcast about William Shakespeare's life. We hope you like and find it interesting!

PLATERO AND I

Platero and I is world famous book by Spanish writer Juan Ramón Jiménez. He  received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1956, that is 60 years ago.

To mark this celebration, we are carrying out a project on this literary work. 2º ESO students together with 6th Primary students have done some research on Juan Ramón Jiménez's biography. We hope you like their work.

OUR YEARLY DATE WITH THE WORLD OF BOOKS IS HERE!

April is a month full of activity in our school because we celebrate our yearly Book Festival. 

Its programme includes a wide variety of activities and events: debates, creative writing workshops, theatre and music performances, interviews to authors and plastic artists, video-conferences, exhibitions and film projections. Here’s the programme for this year’s festival.

23rd April is approaching!

23rd April is approaching! You know that we celebrate Book Day on that day, but something important happened on that day. Do you know it?

It is said that two geniuses of World Literature died on 23rd April, 1616. This means that this year we are celebrating the 400th anniversary of their death. Any ideas?

YES! You're right. They are William Shakespeare and Miguel de Cervantes!
