Cuba-Venezuela Attending Book Fair in Barcelona

Havana, Oct 2 (acn) By virtue of the bilateral agreements signed 
between Cuba and Venezuela to promote the work of their writers, both 
nations are attending the 25th International Book Fair inaugurated on 
Tuesday in Barcelona, Spain.

The fair, one of the most important around the world, aims to promote 
new titles and to boost exchanges amongst scholars. Some of the Cuban 
writers participating in the major cultural event are Marilyn Bobes, 
Jorge Fornet, Francisco Lopez Sacha, Jorge Angel Hernandez and Rogelio 
Riveron.

In statements to the acn news agency, the director of Letras Cubanas 
publishing house, Daniel Garcia, said the Cuba-Venezuela pavilion will 
give special promotion to the first ten titles of the cultural fund of 
the Bolivarian Alternative for the Americas (ALBA).

Garcia stressed the literary and thematic diversity of the collection 
which includes "One hundred hours with Fidel" by journalist Ignacio 
Ramonet.

Cuba is scheduled to deliver a lecture on its contemporary literature 
and the most frequent topics dealt with by different generations. The 
island will also, on October 4, officially present the 17th 
International Fair Book to take place in Havana early next year.

The Cuban delegates' agenda also includes cultural exchanges with 
Spanish writers and a program of activities at the Cuba-Badalona 
Friendship House, based in the third most important city of the Catalan 
community.
