Thousands of classic stories to read on screen, download or print. In 1995, writer Luis López Nieves founded Ciudad Seva out of curiosity. First it was a space to facilitate the dissemination and study of his literary work... and a novel area to share with friends, colleagues and students. But little by little the page took on new duties and proposed more ambitious goals, both nationally and internationally, so that today Ciudad Seva has become a dynamic -and very visited- literary and cultural portal... and the official digital home of Luis López Nieves. Ciudad Seva Digital Library is one of the most important literary libraries on the Internet, in any language. In addition, Ciudad Seva is home to several literary and cultural workshops and forums that bring together thousands of writers and readers from around the world. The section On the Art of Storytelling has become an essential reference point for those interested in the art of storytelling.
