On the same stage and time, on Wednesday, the doctor in Archeology, Estefanía Gandía, will hold a second talk, in this case on the facet of historian Pedro Cobos.
Pedro Luis Pérez de los Cobos García, better known by his literary nickname Pedro Cobos, was an illustrious Jumillano writer.
However, the fact that he worked away from Jumilla and only published books in the last years of his life makes him not well known in his hometown.
Before dedicating himself to literature he had already made some publications related to the History of Law, a subject he taught at the University of Murcia for ten years.
But at the end of the decade of 1970 an injury made him leave the teaching tasks.
Since then he turned to his two great passions: traveling and writing.
As a writer he cultivated various literary genres, among which poetry, theater, story and novel stand out.
His masterpiece was 'La Vida Perdularia' (1989), where he reviews, in the form of a travel book, the identity of the Region of Murcia and each of its towns.
Thursday and Friday will be the protagonists of the Conference 'An Education for the 21st century'.
On Thursday at 8:00 pm at the Roque Baños Center, Pedro Jiménez will offer the conference: 'Climate change, uncertainties' by Pedro Jiménez Guerrero.
