“We live for books. A sweet mission in this world dominated by disorder and decay.” Umberto Eco
The year 2022 will be dedicated to Italy as our guest of honor. In keeping with the quote from the great Italian writer Umberto Eco, we will also dedicate this year to all those who live for books, be it writers, translators, publishers, booksellers and others. All those who live for books despite the struggles it entails, from financial issues to political ones, from educating young readers, to promoting emerging or unknown writers who deserve better.
Svět knihy itself continues in this mission despite all obstacles, maintaining its role and presence – not for itself, but for books, for those who make books come to life.
We live for books. We live for those who live for books. And we will remain faithful to this sweet mission: in a world dominated by disorder and decay, we will remain a refuge from disorder and decay. There will always be a world of books, Book World Prague.
