World literature in general is the huge concert of the whole of universal culture – of the soul of the nations: every harsh national voice is discordant until rendered consonant with the rest of this vast music. To add a new note to this concer, a new colour to the prodigiously varited palette of world literature is one of the great services a small literature can render to universal letters, and is part of the great duty of small nations, one realized most clearly by Count István Széchenyi, who expressed it as the duty: ”to present manking with a nation”. Life is ever seeking for particularity and variation, and how poor indeed a monotone humanity would be!

  • IPA World Book Fair Report 2016
    IPA World Book Fair Report 2016 24.02.2016 Joanna Bazán Babczonek, Project & Office Manager Ben Steward, Director of Communications & Freedom to Publish 1. Introduction In 2015 the IPA released a special report on the Future of Book Fairs , (http://bit.ly/1S234If ) asking if they still bring value to modern publishing. The report found that book fairs are still the engine that keeps the wheels of publishing turning. In an age of video conferencing and digital networking, book fairs are a real-life moment that brings people in publishing together. Relationships are formed, contracts signed and hands shaken. Moreover, book fairs open a window on the publishing world, capturing public interest and drawing the attention of a media more concerned with publishing’s products than its mechanics. The 2016 IPA Book Fair Report looks at some of the world’s standout fairs, and asks the people behind them how they will stay ahead of the curve. The report is designed to help publishing professionals understand the evolution of book fairs and to guide their organizers towards an ever better performance of an essential service to publishers and publishing. 2. What are book fairs? All book fairs are not the same. Some are heavily consumer slanted, others more for publishing professionals. But whatever their target audience, their common goal is to showcase authors, books and brands, and connect suppliers with buyers. For example, the Salon du Livre de Genève , one of the francophone world’s leading book fairs, is almost entirely geared towards consumers. Effectively, it is a vast two-day bookshop, with retailers and publishers selling their wares side by side.
