This year, the six-day fair emphasises\u00a0Prekmurje<\/strong>, the easternmost region of Slovenia, bordering on Hungary, as this year the 100th anniversary of its annexation to Slovenia from the dissoluted Habsburg\u2019s Monarchy is celebrated. Rich in arts and culture, Prekmurje is bursting at the seems with literates that will be hosted at the\u00a0Writer\u2019s Stage<\/strong>. Besides Slovenian writers, there will be also a lot of international stars that will visit the Fair as part of the\u00a0In Focus<\/strong>\u00a0section. This year, instead of one country, rather writers from Europe as the whole will partake in the section.\u00a0Jack Harte<\/strong>\u00a0from Ireland,\u00a0V\u00e9ronique Olmi<\/strong>\u00a0from Ferance, and\u00a0Sibylle Berg<\/strong>\u00a0from Germany are just some of the world-wide known names arriving to\u00a0Ljubljana<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cankarjev dom, home to the CD Congress Centre Ljubljana \u2013 the venue and organizer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0Slovenian Book Fair<\/strong>\u00a0is traditonal and the most established book festival in Slovenia tracing back its origins to\u00a01972<\/strong>\u00a0when UNESCO with a slogan \u2018Books for All\u2019 declared the International Year of Books. From then on, a merely book exhibition with its aim to promote and sell newly released book editions has grown into the celebration of books, literacy, and reading. Thus, within the\u00a046<\/strong>\u00a0years of its rich history, the fair has become the most important and biggest literature event in Slovenia annually hosting over\u00a030,000<\/strong>\u00a0visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 1981<\/strong>, Cankarjev dom has served as its venue and since 1993<\/strong> also as a co-organizer in conjunction with the Chamber of Book Publishing and Selling. This year, the six-day fair is a place where literature meets the real world, occupying the entire CD Congress exhibition capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
