Charter Books accueillera Julian Sancton pour une discussion sur son livre le 29 mars

Charter Books à Newport, Rhode Island, en collaboration avec la Newport Historical Society, accueillera l’auteur à succès du New York Times Julian Sancton pour une conférence sur son nouveau livre. L’événement, centré sur « Neptune’s Fortune », est prévu pour dimanche 29 mars, de 17 h à 18 h. Il est gratuit et ouvert au public, une inscription étant recommandée.

La discussion à Charter Books, situé au 8 Broadway à Newport, portera sur le livre récemment publié de Julian Sancton, « Neptune’s Fortune: The Billion-Dollar Shipwreck and the Ghosts of the Spanish Empire ». Paru le 24 février, le livre raconte l’histoire de Roger Dooley, un chasseur de trésors qui a fait une découverte clé dans une archive espagnole dans les années 1980. Cette trouvaille a déclenché une quête de plusieurs décennies pour localiser le San Jose, un galion espagnol qui a coulé au large des côtes de la Colombie il y a près de trois siècles. Le navire transportait à l’époque plus d’un milliard de dollars en or et en argent au moment du naufrage.  Following the main talk, attendees can participate in a question-and-answer session and a book signing. To attend, individuals are asked to RSVP via the bookstore's events page at charterbookstore.com/events.  Sancton, a senior features editor at Departures magazine, has previously authored 'Madhouse at the End of the Earth.' His writing has appeared in publications including Vanity Fair, Esquire, The New Yorker, and Wired.  Charter Books, an independent bookstore established in 2020, operates at 8 Broadway. Its hours are Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sundays from noon to 5 p.m. More details are available on the store's website, charterbookstore.com.
