Book publishing and book distribution: Russia has become a guest of honor at the Seoul International Book Fair, which is held online

The Seoul International Book Fair is held from October 16 to 25, 2020. This year, the largest Asian book forum, like many other international fairs, has moved to the Internet space, to a specially created platform.

The organizers of SIBF this year have developed a new format for the book fair, capable of ensuring interaction between publishers, authors and readers in the face of continuing distancing in everyday life and the uncertainty of the world situation.

The organizers decided to hold the SIBF in parallel in two formats: online and offline, with books as intermediaries connecting these two formats, two worlds.

Another page - https://goh.sibf.or.kr/gate-page - presents the programs "Republic of Korea - Guest of Honor at the Moscow International Book Fair" and "Russia - Guest of Honor at the Seoul International Book Fair", which became the main events in the field of book publishing and literature in the year of the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between our countries and the celebration of the Year of Cultural Exchange between South Korea and Russia.

The program "Russia - Guest of Honor at the Seoul International Book Fair" consists of three main parts: for professionals, for the general public, and the author's program.

The main participants are 11 Russian writers, whose works have already been translated into Korean or will be translated in the near future.
