Pablo Picasso’s “Don Quixote”

The Department of Spanish and Portuguese presents:

DÍA DEL LIBRO: CERVANTES’S DON QUIXOTE NONSTOP: APRIL 23

PLEASE JOIN US AND READ FOR A FEW MINUTES!

In 1995, UNESCO designated April 23 as World Book Day to honor books and authors and to encourage everyone to read.  This date is significant to many important world authors; it is also the date that Miguel de Cervantes died.  In many Spanish-speaking countries, readers participate in a two-day “readathon,” an event that features a continuous reading of Cervante’s masterpiece Don Quixote.

On April 23, students and faculty will read aloud from Don Quixote continuously from 8 a.m. – 8 p.m.  In addition to Spanish, excerpts will be read in several other languages.  ALL ARE WELCOME!

E-mail arnedoa@dickinson.edu for more information

Or, simply come to the Bosler Atrium on April 23rd to read and enjoy!!
