Seven Titles About Apple, Company Influencers, and More

The next Friday, April 23, 2021, International Book Day is celebrated, a worldwide date with which we want to promote the reading and protection of intellectual property through copyright.

UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) is the body in charge of promoting it. The reason why it is this day is not by chance, because in 1616 Miguel de Cervantes, Shakespeare and Garcilaso de la Vega passed away, and was created in his honor. The first time it was held was in 1996, so this 2021 is the 25th time that they are honored.
