One night – many experiences: public readings of contemporary literature performed by well known personalities at attractive and unusual venues in cities across Europe.

 

European Literature Night builds on the concept of literature being a unique creative medium which embraces the voices of individuals along with the values of the society they live in. The umbrella project “European Literature Nights 2012 – 2014” aims to bring contemporary European literature to the general public in an innovative way through a series of public readings and accompanying events. Supported by a grant from the Culture Programme of the European Union, the project partners hope to deliver high level of impact to their audiences. Although it is Brno, Bucharest, Dublin, Lisbon, Vilnius, Prague and Wroclaw who are jointly co-organizing the project “ELN 2012 – 2014”, the other partner cities where Literature Night already took root are of no lesser importance for the event’s development.

The champion is leaving

Książka Twarzy is a compilation of thirty two short texts on diverse and varied subjects from Agassi's backhand to the new Polish translation of Choderlos de Laclos's Liaisons dangereuses. In this compilation, it is the author who reveals himself by allowing his pen to describe the inexpressible behind a gesture or an emotion. It is an author casting a glance into a mirror which reflects his intimate geography, his melancholy or his passion for sport. It is a book about reading, on the act of reading and the reading subject, a book of great intelligence which received the prestigious NIKE prize in 2012.
