📚Greece at the 39th Guadalajara International Book Fair in Mexico📚

Greece is participating, for the third time, in the Guadalajara International Book Fair, which takes place from 29 November to 7 December 2025, at Expo Guadalajara. It is one of the most important international literary events and the largest #book fair in Latin America, enjoying significant appeal among both professionals and readers.

Thirty-six Greek #publishers, institutions, and organizations will participate in the National Pavilion. More than 150 books will be showcased and promoted in Greek and in other languages - publications by the Ministry of Culture and its supervised bodies, cultural foundations, and publishing houses, both Greek and foreign, that publish #translations of Greek books.

Special emphasis is laid on the #GreekLit translation funding program implemented by the Hellenic Foundation for Books and Culture, through which translated editions of Greek literary production in other languages are presented.
________
Greece's national participation in the international book fairs is implemented for the years 2023 to 2025 by the Directorate of Letters of the General Directorate of Contemporary Culture of the Hellenic Ministry of Culture, within the framework of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan of the European Union.

📚ATHENS INTERNATIONAL LITERATURE FESTIVAL📚

The AILF - Athens International Literature Festival opens its doors for the first time in March 2026 (27-29/3), putting #Athens firmly on the map of European literary events. With high-quality offerings for a wide range of tastes, AILF aims to become a yearly staple for #literature lovers who want to come together and be part of something bigger: a community of dedicated readers that shares common interests and concerns.

AILF is a bold invitation to explore, to converse, and to rethink contemporary literature, not merely as an art form, but as a powerful lens through which we can confront and understand culture, society, and politics.

Defying the usual format of isolated book presentations, AILF focuses on the issues that energize international literature today, from politics and aesthetics to AI, gender, migration and the climate crisis, inviting #authors from Greece and abroad to participate in three days of thought-provoking discussion, constructive idea exchange and nuanced debate.

AILF is taking place at one of the most central and historically significant landmarks of the city, the Technopolis City of Athens. A rich schedule of side events, including #book signings, workshops, exhibitions, screenings and parties will complement the stimulating conversations, appealing not only to the initiated but also to the wider #reading public.
