Inauguration of the exhibition "Blasco Ibáñez and the conquest of the masses. University of Valencia Collection"

On the occasion of the centenary of the tributes paid to Vicente Blasco Ibáñez by the Valencia City Council in 1921, the Office of Vice-Principal for Research and the Historical Library of the University have organised the exhibition "Blasco Ibáñez and the conquest of the masses: University of Valencia collection" in which we are invited to rediscover the impact of the work of the famous Valencian through the exhibition of his most outstanding collection.

From 21 May to 5 September, the Duc de Calàbria room of the Historical Library at the La Nau Cultural Centre will house a careful selection of Blasco's literary and journalistic production, focusing on the common denominator that for decades nourished his multifaceted creative impulse: the conquest of the masses.

The exhibition, curated by the historian Blanca Cerdá Aznar, proposes a re-reading of the famous author, highlighting the multifaceted character that characterises him: novelist, journalist, politician, entrepreneur, traveller and cinematographer. In short, a "man of action".

The image of the poster is a reproduction of the magnificent work that Lluís Dubón designed for the special issue of El Pueblo. Diario republicano de Valencia in 1921, preserved in the Historical Library and one of the pieces shown in the exhibition.
