![]() ![]() ![]() Insight into the Indonesian literary scene On its last two days, anyone interested can visit the book fair, take part in panel discussions and events and leaf through new publications. They have the opportunity at the fair to present their products and conclude deals. To this day, the primary raison d’ tre of Frankfurt Book Fair is to bring together publishers, agents, booksellers, librarians, scholars, illustrators, translators and authors. In the fifteenth century, Johannes Gutenberg revolutionized book printing in Mainz, just a few kilometres away from Frankfurt, after which the book printers Johannes Fust, Peter Schöffer and Konrad Henckis made Frankfurt the main hub for the book publishing trade. The book fair has been firmly established in Frankfurt since 1949, but in fact dates back more than 500 years. It is regarded as the mega event of the international publishing industry. 7,100 international exhibitors, more than 4,000 events in five days and exhibition halls full of books: this year’s Frankfurt Book Fair will once again bring more than 270,000 visitors to this city on the banks of the Main. ![]()
