An Evening of Literature with Rubén Antonio Cubas Castilla: The Virgin of Guadalupe and More to the Bottom

This Thursday, June 15, at 8 o’clock in the afternoon, literature will be displayed twice in the square of the church of the Assumption of San Sebastián de La Gomera.

The books The Virgin of Guadalupe y More to the bottom. Facts and debris from the subheavenboth written by the author Rubén Antonio Cubas Castilla from La Gomera, will be the true protagonists of this attractive and entertaining literary evening.

Con The Virgin of Guadalupe, which will be given to those attending the event, Rubén el Gomero, as he likes to be called outside his native island, makes his debut in the wide spectrum of possibilities offered by children’s literature. And what better way to do it than by fully immersing yourself in the tradition of the island’s patron saint, and in the middle of the year of Bajada, to achieve a story where there is no shortage of adventure and the voracity for knowledge, as well as the search for identity. through contact with wise people around us. To make this long-awaited book real, Rubén, in addition to having consulted with specialists in the field such as Don Juan Ramos Concepción, archpriest of the island of La Gomera; Dr. Gloria Díaz Padilla, an eminent La Gomera researcher; and Dr. Juan Francisco Navarro Mederos, a great pioneer of archeology on the island, has also surrounded himself with a luxury duo: Darío Cedrés Castro as co-author of the work and the artist Juan Antonio Martín, from Mestura Estudio, to create some illustrations full of charm and detail that will not leave anyone indifferent.

And it is not less important More to the bottom. Facts and debris from the subheaven. This is Rubén’s fifth work and, initially, it was intended for a miscellaneous book. deeper it is made up of a corpus of interrelated stories where short stories, poetry and brief essays and literary fragments of a markedly experimental style come together to delve into the unpredictable path of literature. All of this makes for quite a different book. All for a cup? his previous successful work (about to run out of the third edition barely a year after its presentation), with which he intends to engage and invite those who wish to get closer to his lyrics to reflect.

Until Thursday at sunset!
