The 'Literary Bank' by Juan José Donoso Azañón, has been the first step in the creation of a Literary Corner in the Plaza de la Constitución, right between the Town Hall, the iconic steel-heeled shoe of the Pedro Almodóvar Tourist-Cinematographic Route and the Municipal Library; space where the Granatuleño City Council, according to its mayor, Félix Herrera Carneros, will place an 'Outdoor Library' in a few months, to facilitate reading.
With the celebration of the First Book Market and the inauguration of the 'Literary Bank' in honor of the writer Juan José Donoso Azañón, the activities that, on the occasion of Book Day, were held in Granátula de Calatrava came to an end.The event was attended by Industry Email List the mayor of the town, Félix Herrera Carneros; the Councilor for Culture, Eva María Rabadán Ruedas, representatives of the municipal corporation, the provincial coordinator of 'Banco Literario' Ventura Huertas Serrano, the president of the Oretania Cultural Group (a group that promotes this initiative together with the publishing company Ediciones C&G), Julio Raised, as well as the protagonist of the "Banco Literario" the Granatuleño, Juan José Donoso Azañón.
Before proceeding to unveil the plaque on the bank, the mayor, Félix Herrera, addressed a few words to the attendees in which he acknowledged that "inauguring a Literary Bank is a cause for celebration" and highlighted that the election of the place is motivated that "in future editions we can add benches and create a 'Literary Corner' in front of the town hall and in front of the Library", announcing that in a few months "we will create, next to the 'Bank', an outdoor library, where "People can pick up a book and if they want, sit quietly and read it."
Huertas Serrano, provincial coordinator of the project, assured that “the fundamental objective of the 'Literary Bank' is to increase the reading base of society, while recognizing the work of all the social, cultural and educational agents involved in the creation and dissemination of the book, especially the figure, in this case, of a local author.” In this way, the "Literary Banks" were born, with the proposal of the Oretania Group and the publishing company 'Ediciones C&G' and the idea that reading is a cultural activity that can be done almost anywhere, since they are the public banks of the parks, gardens, walks or squares of all the towns where readers find an ideal refuge.
As for the Councilor for Culture, Eva María Rabadán, she pointed out that "the person who is honored today is important in many ways, but above all because he makes us aware of the history of Granátula de Calatrava and this is reflected in his books to the future", he then detailed the extensive CV of the writer, who, professionally, today, is the 'Economic Director of the Spanish Red Cross' - headquarters of the Central Office - and is also the 'Director of Administration of the Foundations Funcre and Tecsos'.
The mayor of Culture highlighted that the honoree "loves history and has focused his research on that related to the town of his origins, from where the idea of dusting off the figure of General Espartero, originally from Granatul, was born, without which contemporary Spain could not be understood, from its maximum conception of “the national will be fulfilled.” And so in 2018 the fictionalized biography (told in the first person) of D. Joaquín Baldomero Fernández – Espartero y Álvarez de Toro came to light, where in a way that is very close to the reader it unravels that interesting time and the life of D. Baldomero” .
For his part, the president of the Oretania Group, Julio Criado, in statements to the media, stated that "it is a pleasure to be in the cradle of Espartero, seeing how that idea of the entire team of Oretania, when they decided that they had to reward local authors and all the anonymous people who work to spread reading." Criado has valued the figure of the local author and has recalled the importance of all the people who work for and for reading, ensuring that "this recognition is a way to record the great work they do", in this sense, Criado had some words of recognition to both the honoree and all the local authors "because they carry out precious and valuable work that allows all their research and creations to remain for the history and cultural heritage of our towns and cities."
Finally, Juan José Donoso Azañón has shown himself very grateful for the recognition and for the support and affection of all the people who have accompanied him, going on to explain Granátula's relationship with Don Quixote, and how Cervantes places the liberation of the galley slaves for the “sane madman” in the vicinity of the town.Donoso has made a plea in favor of Joaquín Baldomero Fernández-Espartero Álvarez de Toro and has announced that he is working on his next work, “a novel that will detail the history of the Granátula de Calatrava, throughout the 19th and 20th centuries” and which He hopes it will see the light of day before the end of the year.
