Reading Greece
🎉Following the successful presence of #Greece’s national delegation at the LIBER International Book Fair in Barcelona (October 1-3, 2024), next up is the 76th Frankfurt International Book Fair in Germany, taking place from October 16 to 20, with Italy as the "Guest of Honour."At the Greek Pavilion (HALL 4.1, no. G27), around 60 #Greek #publishers, cultural organizations, and institutions will participate. Over 750 publications in Greek and other languages will be showcased, including books translated into other languages with the support of #GreekLit, the program that subsidizes the translation of titles from all categories of Greek #book production into other languages. Additionally, for the first time, the newly established Hellenic Foundation for Book and Culture will make its debut. Greece's multifaceted program of events, with a focus on networking and the translation of Greek #literature, will take place both at the fair and at iconic locations in the city, such as Café Laumer, a historic café and favorite meeting place of writers and philosophers, the bookstore Weltenleser, which has for years hosted and promoted selected titles of contemporary Greek literature and distinguished authors, as well as at the European School of Frankfurt.The Deputy Minister of Culture, Iason Fotilas, will accompany the national delegation and address central events. 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.Greece - International Book FairsΥπουργείο ΠολιτισμούΕλληνικό Ίδρυμα Πολιτισμού / Hellenic Foundation for Culture ...
