Booktegi and the Athenaeum of Navarre will translate to Euskera the classical work Heptamerona, by Margarita de Navarra, which has been translated into Basque. The book is composed of 72 short stories and was first published in French in 1558.
In total, they will collect the stories translated into eight volumes. Every year it will be translated into Euskera one of them, which will be published on the website of the Booktegi project. In addition, they will organise public readings once each volume has been edited. The first reading will take place on 2 October at the Condestable of Pamplona/Iruña.
