Book World Prague 2024 – combined with German-language literature and the anniversary of Franz Kafka

The anniversary of Franz Kafka will also be reflected in the program of the 29th International Book Fair and the Book World Prague literary festival. The traditional project Das Buch has been selected as the guest of honor for 2024 under the title „Das Buch“ – German-language literature.

The project is jointly prepared by the Goethe-Institut of the Czech Republic, the Austrian Cultural Forum in Prague and the Embassy of the Swiss Confederation. We will present a wealth of contemporary German-Language Literature across genres such as fiction, comics, children's literature, philosophy, etc. Our common goal will be to cover current themes that reflect the state of society, achievements and tendencies of German-Language Literature, as well as themes that reflect the specific ties of the Czech Republic to its neighbor countries. Next year's motto, which will be the philosophical line of the festival reflecting on the purpose of literatures and how they change our inner life, is Kafka's quote

A book must be the axe for the frozen sea inside us.
