100th anniversary of the birth of Roald Dahl

Roald Dahl (1916-1990), whose books have sold more than 200 million copies all over the world, would have turned 100 last September.

This British author wrote novels, shorts stories, poems and screenplays, and he is probably best remembered for being the 'father' of charming and unconventional characters such as Matilda, Willy Wonka and the BFG (the Big Friendly Giant). He has been described as "a master of story construction with a remarkable ability to weave a tale".

At the EOI library we would like to pay our little tribute to this exceptional story-teller with an exhibition of some of his most popular books. We invite you to visit it and read his books and stories because

¡Feliz 400 aniversario!

En este año, y especialmente en este fin de semana, se celebra un aniversario muy importante en el mundo literario y cultural: la muerte de Cervantes y Shakespeare. Resulta chocante, por no decir casi increíble, que la vida de estos dos grandes escritores acabara no solo en el mismo año sino incluso casi en las mismas fechas. Aunque sus vidas y obras fueran tan diferentes, ambos genios han ejercido una importante influencia en la literatura y cultura durante estos cuatro siglos.

¡FELIZ 400 ANIVERSARIO! ¡FELIZ DÍA DEL LIBRO!
