Institut Ramon Llull is organizing the 25th edition of its fellowship targeted at international publishers and agents and to be held in Barcelona during the 44th edition of the Setmana del Llibre en Català (Books in Catalan Week). First launched in 2007, when the Catalan Culture was Guest of Honor at the Frankfurt Book Fair. Since then, over 220 professionals from 45 countries have participated in this fellowship.

From 10 to 12 March, the Department of Culture hosted a stand to drive the internationalisation of Catalan literature and the literary sector. Twenty-six Catalan publishers (eight more than in the previous edition) took part in this major annual event. In addition, ten literary agencies participated in the International Rights Centre at the fair.

The Catalan musician will receive the award, worth €250,000, on 23 May in Munich, Germany. This recognition from the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation follows a tribute this year by the Berlin Philharmonic, which has dedicated part of its season to Savall's music and where he made his debut as a guest conductor.

The main events of this celebration will take place on 10 and 11 March, including a concert by The Tyets at the legendary venue The Cavern Club and a day dedicated to Catalan language and culture.

It is the first major work by the Catalan author to be published in Italian, following the translations in the 1990s of L’illa de Sardenya and Cartes d’Itàlia.
