The book is the joy of thought and develops the spirit, and is the most powerful weapon in the battle of conscience...
The Lebanese Publishers Syndicate, in partnership with the Lebanese Ministry of Culture, launched the eighth session of the International Lebanese Book Fair, held from October 13 to 23, 2023 at the Forum Exhibition and Convention Center in Beirut.
Despite the stressful situations Lebanon is witnessing, the organizers believe they are temporary and will pass. The importance of the books is obvious to them as a starting point for what human beings deserve...
The PADME International Foundation financed a display area for the Master's books at this major fair.
The floor is given to Serpouhy Kouyoumjian, who tells us about this daring spread, given the political situation in the Middle East.
"During a meeting with the head of book buying at Librairie Antoine, we learned that the latter will be taking part in Lebanon Book Fair International, a major book fair in Lebanon at the Beirut Forum Exhibition and Convention Center. The fair is organized by the Syndicat des Éditeurs libanais, in partnership with the Lebanese Ministry of Culture.
The Librairie Antoine has agreed to let us display our books in 3 languages: French, English, Arabic, in a stand at the same cost as in previous years.
Throughout the last few years, PADME has helped us by financing our participation in the Francophone Books Fair and the International Arab Book Fair held in Beirut.
We really hope that this Fair will be a success and contribute to the rebirth of this country, which has suffered so much. We deeply believe that this country deserves to have a bright future, first and foremost by developing the mentality and spirit of its citizens.
With our deepest gratitude, Raffi and Serpouhy, Prosveta Liban".
