Yemen To Participate in International Book Fair
Yemen’s Deputy of Culture Ministry Sam al-Ahmar announced that Yemen will participate in the 27th Annual International Book Fair. The book fair will take place in Sharjah from October 17 through November 7, 2008.
Approximately 400 pieces of literature from the most prominent Yemeni authors were selected to be part of the fair. All books selected highlight the individuality and uniqueness of Yemeni culture.
The fact that so many books were available for selection illustrates how much the Yemeni people have to say about their culture and the way they live. The fair highlights the literary talent that exists within Yemen’s boundaries and provides an appropriate means to share with other nations information and aspects of Yemen’s cultural heritage.
