Today, at half past six-thirty in the afternoon, among the events of the Tercentenary of the National Library of Spain, will be held in the auditorium of the BNE-Tribute Encounter with the Cervantes Prize, sponsored by the Repsol Foundation, attended, among others, Mario Vargas Llosa, José Jiménez Lozano and Antonio Gamoneda, and in which Marisa Paredes and Asier Etxeandía will read excerpts from the works of writers awarded the Cervantes.
The Prize for Literature in Spanish Language "Miguel de Cervantes", known as Cervantes Prize, is the highest distinction of Spanish letters. With this award, which since 1975 awarded by the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport, recognizes the creative work of Spanish and Latin American writers whose work has contributed to enrich the literary heritage in Spanish.
The ceremony is held each year on 23 April, the death of Miguel de Cervantes, in the auditorium of the University of Alcala de Henares, in a ceremony presided over by SS. MM. the Queen of Spain. The BNE, which honors awarded annually to a portrait for which the writer chooses the artist, and becomes part of the heritage that preserves the institution, aims to exploit its Tercentenary to honor all the winners.
Best regards,
