A three-day literary festival devoted to the life and works of Gustaw Herling-Grudziński (1919-2000) began on Thursday in Naples, where the writer lived for 45 years. The series of events will honour the year of the author of Inny świat (“A World Apart”), announced by the Polish Parliament. The festival will also be attended by the director of the Book Institute, Dariusz Jaworski.

The presentation of Janusz Korczak’s book Józki, Jaśki i Franki (“Joeys, Johnnies and Frankies”) took place on Thursday at the Polish Institute in Budapest with the participation of representatives of the Hungarian Pedagogical Society, which published the book. The publication of the translation of the book was supported by the Book Institute as part of the ©Poland Translation Programme.

The Polish stand, organised by the Book Institute, has been very popular – visitors are attracted by the name of the new Nobel Prize winner, a refreshed look, as well as the attractive offerings of Polish exhibitors and the potential of our book market.
