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.

Tem bons sonhos

ITALY

Fai bei sogni is a novel about truth and the fear of discovering it. It is the story of a secret sealed in an envelope for forty years, of a child, and then an adult, who will have to learn to face the greatest pain, the loss of a mother, and the more insidious monster: the fear of living.

An incessant struggle against loneliness and the sense of abandonment, told with passion and gentle irony. The conquest of love and a real existence finally allows the protagonist to keep his feet on the ground but still look up at the skies.
