La Casa dels Clàssics and Laie invite you to the presentation of:

Robinson Crusoe, by Daniel Defoe

A talk with Raül Garrigasait, president of La Casa dels Clàssics, and Esther Tallada, translator of the book.

Live on Thursday 18 June at 18.30 h via Laie's Instagram Live

This volume presents the new translation of Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe that Esther Tallada has made in the Bernat Metge Universal collection. With a foreword by Albert Sánchez Piñol and an epilogue by Esther Tallada on the subject of translation.

Published in 1719, The Life and Adventures of Robinson Crusoe is the best known and most read work of this English journalist and writer. With an adventure novel skeleton, the book explores the dissatisfactions of modern man and the relationship between nature and culture, and raises debates that still retain their full power today.

Be one of the first people to buy the book at Laie and you will receive an illustrated postcard gift from La Casa dels Clàssics! (the promotion is subject to availability).
