The Magic of Latin American Literature
In these works, we often encounter magical reality, where the imaginary and the real are intertwined in a unique way. We encounter themes such as identity, justice and everyday life, drawing inspiration from the rich cultural heritage of Latin America.
Honorary Authors and Special Tributes
At the NBF we will have writers from Cuba and Brazil, a special tribute to the work of the Chilean poet Pablo Neruda, references to the work of other great poets, such as the Mexican writer Octavio Paz, an exhibition of books as well as cultural activities with artists and figures from countries of Latin America.
From October 4-6, 2024, in the Acropolis Park, among many other things, we will also discover the magic of Latin American literature in the largest book exhibition!
