INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE "Giacomo Prampolini & The Universality of Literature"
(Free entrance)
Can one person read the world?
Long before algorithms recommended books and shaped cultural visibility, Giacomo Prampolini attempted to organize world literature through anthologies, translation and multilingual networks.
Who was Giacomo Prampolini?
A linguistic prodigy, translator of more than sixty languages, winner of the Nijhoff Translation Prize, friend of major Dutch authors - and today almost forgotten.
Join us at Leiden University on 12 June to rediscover the man who tried to map world literature.
