Andrea Wulf in conversation with Guillermo Altares

THE INVENTION OF NATURE

Segovia 2016, 

The New York Times, The Independent and Publishers’ Weekly have all praised The Invention of Nature as one of the best books of the year. Andrea Wulf’s long-awaited biography of Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) has already won the Costa Biography Aware, the James Wright Award for Nature Writing, the Royal Geographical Society’s Ness Award, and the LA Times Book Prize. The historian will talk to Guillermo Altares, an overseas correspondent for El País, about this fascinating figure, one of the most admired of his times.

Simultaneous translation from English to Spanish.
