Literary Day for Equality / The importance of women in the work of Luis Zueco

Literary Day for Equality / The importance of women in the work of Luis Zueco

On Saturday, December 16, a first class literary event will be held at the Castle of Bulbuente, with the participation of members of the reading clubs of the municipal libraries of the Campo de Borja region and the writer Luis Zueco.

This conference organized by the Comarca de Campo de Borja is funded by the IAM, under the collaboration agreement signed with the regional entity. Attendees will be members of the book clubs that meet regularly to encourage the relationship between people interested in literature, promoting dialogue and exchange of opinion on the selected readings and providing different points of view from respect to their attendees.

The cultural event will begin with a guided tour of the Castle Palace of the Abbots of Veruela, a fortress restored and refurbished as a charming accommodation and venue for various cultural events, of which Luis Zueco is the director. Since the first novel by Luis Zueco was published in 2011, his career has been consolidated in the national scene as one of the main references of historical novels with wide international repercussion, having been translated into several languages.

The day, designed as a meeting of coexistence between the different book clubs, puts the focus on the female figures that populate the work of Luis Zueco, especially his latest creation “El tablero de la Reina”, which will be the subject of the talk-colloquium.

The final touch will be provided by the musical performance of the Ainzonera group Marta’s Way.

The collaboration of the Municipal Public Libraries of Ainzón, Borja, Fuendejalón, Maleján, Mallén and Magallón and the Reading Club of Bulbuente, the host municipality of this event, is worth mentioning.

The municipal public libraries are an essential cultural resource in the life of our municipalities, the driving force behind various initiatives, among which are the management or support of reading clubs and the proposal of events of a regional nature, such as this one, which is intended to be perpetuated over time.

September 1, 2 and 3 will be held the VI Recreation of the entrance of the Catholic Monarchs in Borja. Fantastic dates to come to Campo de Borja and enjoy its rich history, its heritage and its people.

In August 1492, of the Catholic Monarchs accompanied by their entire entourage, including the Infantas and Prince Don Juan. The attractiveness of the historical context of the date, very close to the discovery of America, and the personal and political reasons that motivated it, finally tipped the balance in favor of this historical passage.

Through various scenes that take place in different spaces, the recreation recalls that historical event by linking various episodes that, although not contemporary, took place immediately afterwards: the gratitude to his friend and advisor, the illustrious Borjan Mosem Juan de Coloma; the personal recognition to Pedro Lázaro, also from Borja, who would save his life in Barcelona; the imposition of Bandas Granas with royal insignia to Justice and Jurors as a reward for the loyalty of the city to the crown; and, finally, his attendance at the first General Meeting of the Santa Hemandad, which took place in the collegiate church of Santa María.
