This year, in Ljubljana the focus is on Italy. The guests who will speak about their work are Susanna Tamaro, very popular with the readers, journalist and writer Paolo Rumiz, and several times awarded Antonio Scurati. Giorgio Agamben and Franco Berardi, two prominent Italian philosophers, will appear in Ljubljana as well, along with the author, editor and filmmaker Elisabetta Sgarbi.
Book Fair in numbers
The "oldest, largest, and most important" book event in Slovenia, as it was described by the organizers, will open for general public on Wednesday at 9 a.m. 104 exhibitors will participate this year at the fair, and it will host 30 foreign and 100 Slovenian authors.
It is the wish of the organizers that the Fair would become a meeting place, focused on books and reading.
