The Goethe-Institut at the Feria Internacional del Libro de Buenos Aires

The Goethe-Institut is taking part in the 50th Buenos Aires International Book Fair with a series of cultural activities at the European Union Delegation’s stand.

The graphic novel Death in the Lift (Criatura Editora, Uruguay, translated by Leticia Hornos Weisz and Micaela van Muylem) will be presented. It is based on a text adapted from Bertolt Brecht – on the 70th anniversary of his death – and Walter Benjamin, and illustrated with woodcuts by the artist Steffen Thiemann. The event will feature the participation of translator Micaela van Muylem and will be moderated by Gabriela Mayer.

In addition, Marifé Boix García, Vice-President for Southern Europe and Latin America at the Frankfurt Book Fair, will share her insights on the publishing sector at the roundtable ‘Frankfurt Book Fair: opportunities for internationalisation in the book sector’.
