This 2014 comply 300 Eleven years after the September 1714. For this reason, the Catalan Center of Luxembourg wants to give more impetus to the activities it dedicates every year to the National Day of Catalonia. And one of the star activities of this cycle that we have organized is the conference of the writer Albert Sánchez Piñol.
Author of successful works such as Cold skin O Pandora to Congo, Sánchez Piñol is a writer who has been able to speak to a mass audience with quality writing. He is perhaps the most appropriate writer if we want to talk about the Tricentenary, as the author of the most famous Foods. In this historical novel, the atmosphere and events of the War of the Spanish Succession are recreated, conflict that shook all of Europe and culminated in the fall of Barcelona on September 11 1714. All this is intertwined with a fast-paced narrative with very attractive characters (among them, Vauban, relevant historical figure also in the history of Luxembourg).
All in all, he will tell us about it on Sunday 14 September, from the 17.30, the local Catalan Luxembourg Centre (88, Rue de la Semois; Luxembourg ville). The talk will be in Catalan, with whispered translation and the ability to ask questions in any language.
At the end of the conversation with the audience, Sílvia Bel, Llúcia Vives and Carles Beltran will offer us a fragment of a show of music and texts based on the novel Foods.
