Romania To Be Guest Of Honour At Frankfurter Buchmesse 2028

Romania will present its literature and culture as the guest country of the 80th Frankfurter Buchmesse 2028 (11-15 October 2028). Romania’s Minister of Culture András Demeter and Frankfurter Buchmesse’s Director Juergen Boos signed the official Guest of Honour agreement in Bucharest.

Juergen Boos, Director of Frankfurter Buchmesse, said, “Romanian literature has long been present in Europe thanks to its strong contemporary literary voices. Authors such as Mircea C?rt?rescu and Gabriela Adame?teanu are being read worldwide and their works have been translated into numerous languages. Their books tell of a country that has undergone political upheaval, censorship and new beginnings. We are looking forward to seeing the diversity of the country’s multilingual literary landscape in Frankfurt.”

András Demeter, Romania’s Minister of Culture, said, “We intend to approach this participation with care, professionalism and long-term vision, revealing the depth and vitality of Romania’s cultural landscape today.”

In addition to presenting Romanian literature in Frankfurt, it is being planned that further cultural sectors, such as film for instance, will be highlighted as part of the Guest of Honour presentation in 2028.
