The Literature Cycle of the 52nd edition of the Festival de Pollença revolves around war and the art of writing. The course, held in collaboration with the Universitat de les Illes Balears, is directed by Malcolm Otero Barral and summons the leading figures of essay and fiction like Jon Lee Anderson, historian Paul Preston or writer Eduardo Mendoza, who already participated in this cycle last year.
