International Gothenburg Book Fair 2009  

The Spanish Institute for Foreign Trade (ICEX), in collaboration with the Spanish Ministry of Culture and the Federation of Spanish Publishers’ Guilds (FGEE), is organizing a group pavilion at the Gothenburg International Book Fair, which takes place from 24 to 27 September 2009.

Spain will be the guest of honor at this year’s event, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary. Interest in the Spanish language is increasing in the Nordic region and the fair is the perfect platform for presenting Spanish culture to Nordic countries.

The subject areas with the greatest potential are children’s books, methods of teaching Spanish for foreigners and literature, especially for authors that have already been translated or where there is interest in a translation.

The Ministry of Culture will be present with an exhibition and cultural activities. Furthermore, a significant number of writers, philosophers and leading figures from the world of Spanish culture will also be present in Gothenburg.
