Russia in the context of the London Book Fair Automatic translate

LONDON. The 45th book fair has opened at the Olympia Exhibition Center.

The annual London Book Fair has been held in the capital of the United Kingdom since 1971 and is ranked among the top major book forums. For three days of its intensive work, you can familiarize yourself with the news of hundreds of publishers, sign cooperation agreements, and conclude profitable deals. This forum does not provide guest status. In 2011, he was elected Russia, three years later - Moscow. In 2016, each of the participating countries will receive an equal degree of attention. A project of the Presidential Center of Yeltsin (Yekaterinburg) and the Moscow Translation Institute “Read Russia / Read Russia” were presented at the London fair. Its relevance in the framework of the Cross Year of the language and literature of our countries is obvious. Good books, music and painting - a constant for our country is irrevocable at all times. They remain a fragile bridge that allows you to go beyond the boundaries of a self-insulating space. A magic lantern projecting into the world is something unconditionally talented that is created on one sixth of the land.

In the Russian segment of the exhibition - the products of most leading domestic publishers. Of the promising newcomers is the Garage Museum, which has presented books on contemporary art. Among them is a fundamental, beautifully illustrated work on the history of contemporary art.

The three-day program includes meetings with writers, laureates of the country’s main literary prizes, consultations for those who are interested in remote learning of the Russian language. There will be events on translation issues, presentation of the prize for the best translation and the children’s book festival in Britain. The project “Russian Library in 100 Volumes” deserves special attention, the main purpose of which is the publication of domestic literature in the nine most popular languages ​​of the world together with Columbia University.
