MIGUEL DE CERVANTES SAAVEDRA, Spanish writer born in Alcalá de Henares
on September 27, 1547 and died in Madrid on April 22, 1616. He is considered one of the leading figures of Spanish
literature and universally known for writing "Don Quixote", which
many critics have described as the first modern novel and one of the greatest
works of world literature, besides being the book edited and translated most of
history, second only to the Bible. It has been given the nickname "Prince
of Wits"
In the memory of Miguel de Cervantes’ death (as well as
the birth of William Shakespeare), and in order to encourage reading in the
world, Unesco issued on April 23 as International Day of the Book.
This is the way we celebrate the International Day of
the Book in IES El Batán, with music, dance, representations and
reading small pieces of Canary writers and the winner of our annual literature
contest.

In my opinion reading is very important. For this reason I have organized a project about reading in Monteflavio in order to let my students meet books and love them.
