For both avid and occasional readers, this festival offers opportunities to meet authors and journalists from around the world, to debate, think about, and compare viewpoints on major topics that make for the greatness and misery of humanity, from courage and dissidence to feelings, sensations and impressions, femininity, childhood, creation, memory, exile, violence, politics, religion and climate, as well as subjects related to linguistics, storytelling, novel characters, word choices, writing style and more.

Alongside the meetings, debates and conferences, there are readings and signing sessions, as well as a pop-up book shop, where you can get book recommendations and have them signed by their authors!
