Brazil will be honored as Guest Nation at Bogotá International Book Fair (FILBo), showcasing its literary greatness and fostering a cultural exchange on topics such as climate change, biodiversity and the Amazon. FILBo opens April 17 at Corferias and runs until May 2.
Edition 35 of FILBo will also pay tribute to Gabriel García Márquez, the Colombian Nobel Laureate who lived in Mexico until his death in 2014. García Márquez is the most translated Latin American author, and second in the Spanish language to Cervantes.
Three years after the last International Book Fair of Bogotá was held at Corferias, the literary world reunites in Colombian capital for edition 34.
With Colombia chosen as Guest Nation for its bicentenary, the page-turning programme of FILBO 2019 includes a historical library and plenty of gastronomic fare.
The 31st edition of FILBO opens April 17 with a cast of authors, publishing houses and a Nobel Laureate. Argentina is guest nation.
