Jorge Semprún: The Long Voyage

Jorge Semprún: The Long Voyage

The centenary of the birth of Jorge Semprún (1923-2011) invites us to reflect on the relevance of his work and life, through a series of cultural activities based on the challenges facing contemporary thought and literary creation today. 

Jorge Semprún’s life itself is a great novel, intersecting with historical events. A republican exile, member of the French Resistance, deportee to a Nazi concentration camp, communist leader, secret anti-Franco agent, acclaimed novelist, successful scriptwriter, Spanish Minister of Culture, leading Europeanist, and defender of memory: all of these lives in one shaped Jorge Semprún’s long voyage, with its constant and often unforeseen twists and turns and comings and goings, in which resistance was a form of radical engagement.
