World book day

History:


23 April is a symbolic date for world literature. It is on this date in 1616 that Cervantes, Shakespeare and Inca Garcilaso de la Vega all died. It is also the date of birth or death of other prominent authors, such as Maurice Druon, Haldor K.Laxness, Vladimir Nabokov, Josep Pla and Manuel Mejía Vallejo.
It was a natural choice for UNESCO's General Conference, held in Paris in 1995, to pay a world-wide tribute to books and authors on this date, encouraging everyone, and in particular young people, to discover the pleasure of reading and gain a renewed respect for the irreplaceable contributions of those, who have furthered the social and cultural progress of humanity. With this in mind, UNESCO created the World Book and Copyright Day.


Since today is the day of the book in my institute, they have organized activities related to the day of the book. We with the English teacher have participated in an activity that has organized gardening, which was to take a relaxing drink and relax a few minutes later. We did a survey.

  1. Hello!
    The truth is that the day of the book seems to me a good day to promote the sale of books, and about the English class the day of the book, I love it! It was a good detail.
    A greeting!
