A time for words
Interessant initiativa al bloc Relat Encadenat ...
Aquests dies ha nascut Pàgina Ebrenca, un nou bloc col·lectiu de literatura i de llibres de les Terres de l'Ebre. Com diuen a la presentació:
Early estimates predict that close to a million books were bought yesterday in Catalonia to celebrate Saint Jordi’s Day, which at around 20 million euros represents almost 8% of the annual turnover in the book sector.
Today is the 23rd of April - a very special day in Catalonia. The Catalans’ Patron Saint happens to be Saint Jordi (or George in English). Yes, the guy who killed the dragon. Jordi was a Roman soldier born in Palestine in the 3rd century AD who later converted to Christianity. Although the first documented writings of the dragon incident state that it happened in Libya, the Catalans believe it actually happened in the town of Montblanc in Catalonia. They may have a point as I can vouch that there are definitely no dragons currently living in Montblanc.
One of the most famous English poets, William Wordsworth was born on this date, the 7th April, in 1770.
