Laureates. Excerpts
May the spirit of world brotherhood and respect for the differences between regions, between
different minorities and different races, sexes and consciences spread around the planet! And may
examples such as those that these generous Awards represent, open to Spanish literature, not only
to the literature of Spain and also open in other directions of more international scope also thrive
and serve to unite all the endearing motherlands, large and small, of which we all, each one of us,
are loving representatives!
