The Petőfi Cultural Agency is coming to the 93rd Holiday Book Week with children's poems, comics, magazines and anthologies.
This year, the Association of Hungarian Book Publishers and Publishers is organizing the biggest open-air event of contemporary Hungarian literature, the festive book week, where the Petőfi Cultural Agency will be represented with a stand and valuable stage programs for the 93rd time.
One of the most important literary events of the year, the festive book week, celebrating its 93rd birthday this year, June 9–12. between Vörösmarty tér and Duna-korzó can be visited by lovers of literature and high culture. In the pavilion of the Petőfi Cultural Agency, the agency's printed publications can be purchased, and the new books will be presented on a separate stage during the four-day event.
Children and adults can choose according to their taste from the colorful selection of PKÜ publications.
In addition to anthologies of poems by Hungarian and Carpathian poets, the offer includes, among others, anthologies of Colombian, Spanish, Czech, and Polish poets, a book of poems for children, an Áron Tamási album and the comic A kivarrt, which sold fifteen thousand copies in France, and two magazines, Magyar Culture monthly and the English-language quarterly The Continental Literary Magazine.
The agency's book of children's poems, Felhőpárna-versek from here and beyond, published for Christmas last year, was included in the list of the prestigious World Illustration Award with drawings by Russian illustrator Annabella. The book expresses the difficulties of processing grief in the language of children, a real work that fills a gap, which is a huge success both on the domestic and foreign markets.
Colorful pictures and exciting stories are liked not only by children, but also by adults. Matz & Futaki's comic A kivarrrt was written for them. Comic book artist Attila Futaki and the world-famous author Alexis "Matz" Nolent present the comic book together, moderated by Eszter Szép, at Vigadó Square. The comic book will be autographed by Attila Futaki after the presentation on Saturday (June 11) between 1:00 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. at the PKÜ stand.
On the same day, between 2:00 p.m. and 2:30 p.m., Lajos Sipos and Márton Falusi will present the monograph "we are in the world so that we can be at home somewhere in it" published on the 125th anniversary of the birth of Áron Tamási on the same day at Vigadó Square. The talk will be followed by a book signing at the PKÜ stand between 2:30 and 3:30 p.m.
On Vörösmarty Square, interested parties can familiarize themselves with the 2022 anthology of the authors of the KMI 12 program. Moderator István Luzsicza talks with authors Róbert Hász, Viktória Jánoki-Kis, and Nikolett Kopriva on Saturday from 3 p.m. After the podium discussion, the artists will sign autographs between 4 and 5 p.m.
In addition, Magyar Kultúra Magazin, which is celebrating its first birthday, and the previous issues of The Continental Literary Magazine can also be purchased at the PKÜ stand.
