The International Book Fair and Literary Festival Book World Prague 2025
Book World Prague celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2025. The motto of this edition, “30! Energy of the Youth – Wisdom of Books”, illustrates how the International Book Fair and Literary Festival perceives this jubilee: as an opportunity to reminisce about its rich history and at the same time, and above all, to focus on the future. The theme highlights the dialogue between the creativity of young authors and the timeless wisdom that can be found in literature. The motto borrowed from the quote by Portuguese writer Ricardo Reis also hints at this year’s Guest of Honour which is Portugal. Czech readers will learn about the culture, language and literary innovations of this country through both classical and contemporary works. The selected literary stars will also bring to Prague the countries represented in the EU Prize for Literature, the award ceremony of which will be one of the highlights of Book World Prague this year.
