April 23 - World Book Day and Copyright
World Book Day and Copyright is established in 1995 by the UNESCO annual festival to promote reading, editing, and protection of intellectual property copyright.
Idea of the feast originated in Catalonia. In 1926, he performed with the publisher, Clavel Andrés Vicente. April 23 there is a national holiday celebrated reverently, as the day of its patron saint - St. George. In accordance with a long tradition in Catalonia, bestowing on that day woman with red roses symbolize having vanquished by the Holy Blood. George the dragon. Over time, women began to reciprocate gifts to men in the form of books.
April 23 is also a symbolic date for world literature. On this day in 1616 died of Miguel de Cervantes, William Shakespeare and Inca Garcilaso de la Vega (the date of the death of Shakespeare is given by the Julian calendar, and the other two - according to the Gregorian). On the same day is the anniversary of the birth or death of other prominent authors such as Maurice Druon, Halldor Laxness, Vladimir Nabokov, Josep Pla and Manuel Mejía Vallejo.
We decided to celebrate this feast looking for books and spring in our neighborhood.
We went to to the nearby meadow.
There was our wonderful photo gallery
under the title "The book in the background."
Have a look!
