In a contemporary world where autobiography is very present, ISLA Festival wants to explore some recent works that capture the fascination, surprise and everyday life or mysteries of others' lives. Alongside writers Fernando Beltrán, author of the literary fiction Bacon sin Bacon, Irene Chikiar Bauer, author of the essay Virginia Woolf y Victoria Ocampo: Biografía de un encuentro, and Nuala O’Connor, author of Seaborne, an intimate and thrilling portrait of the life of Irish pirate Anne Bonny, we will delve into these figures and discover the reasons that led their authors to explore those lives, the challenges they faced, the research process, and to what extent fiction and reality intertwine in their books. Fernando Beltrán is a Spanish poet. He burst onto the literary scene with his poetry collection Aquelarre en Madrid (1982, Adonáis Prize). A versatile namer of emotions, he has published over twenty poetry collections, and his work, widely translated, also includes editions in dialogue with visual artists and translations of Stevenson and Leonard Cohen. He is an associate professor at the Faculty of Fine Arts at UPV (Valencia, Spain). His latest book is Bacon sin Bacon. Irene Chikiar Bauer is a journalist, teacher, and writer. She has published literary essays and is the author of the books Eduarda Mansilla. Entre-ellos, una escritora argentina del siglo XIX; Virginia Woolf, la vida por escrito; Victoria Ocampo. El ensayo personal (Mardulce, 2021) and Virginia Woolf y Victoria Ocampo. Biografía de un encuentro. She is also a playwriter. As a journalist, she has worked on radio, television and print media, and has conducted interview series with writers for several media. Nuala O’Connor lives in Galway, Ireland. Her sixth novel Seaborne, about Irish-born pirate Anne Bonny, was published in April 2024 by New Island. Hernovel Nora (New Island), about Nora Barnacle and James Joyce, was a Top 10 historical novel in the New York Times. She won Irish Short Story of the Year at the 2022 Irish Book Awards and is editor at flash e-journal Splonk. www.nualaoconnor.com Tara Plunkett is a Hispanist at University College Dublin. Her research focuses on Spanish and Latin American artists' use of Surrealist in works of self-fashioning, how avant-garde cultural production is canonised, classified and curated, and the presentations of masculinities, femininities and identities in Almodóvar’s films. She is co-editor of Preservation, Radicalism and the Avant-Garde Canon (Palgrave Macmillan, 2016), and curator of the exhibition Out of the Ordinary: Contemporary Visions of the Avant-Garde.

读万卷书；行万里路

The most worthwhile attraction in Dublin, there are three worthwhile attractions: the first is the Book of Kells, which is the national treasure of Ireland, but you must listen to the audio guide, otherwise you will not understand the preciousness of this scripture; the second is the library gallery, which is the filming location of the Harry Potter movie, and it is also very quaint and unique; the third is the oldest harp in Ireland. In general, the tour is very exciting, the small disadvantage is that the price of Ctrip is slightly more expensive than the local ticket price, and the cost performance is not very high.

Dublin Castle has a long royal history and the attractions are worth visiting. The ticket price is only 8 euros (6 euros for those over 60 years old). However, the ticket price on Ctrip for those over 60 years old is 160 yuan, which is 3 times the price on site. It is too expensive!!! It has affected my high trust and good impression of Ctrip!!!

St Patrick's Cathedral

Ha'penny Bridge

就叫其卓

Legend has it that in the past it cost half a penny to cross the bridge, so it was called the Halfpenny Bridge. It&#39;s just an ordinary bridge, but the hidden surprise is the seagulls that are not afraid of people at all, and the scenery on both sides of the River Liffey can be seen from the bridge.
