Cultural centres and embassies will organise a series of events to accompany the Europe Readr platform.
Sofia with Alexander Shpatov
On Sofia Day, celebrated on 17 September, we organised a two-hour guided literary walk around the town's landmarks important for Bulgarian culture and literature with the Bulgarian author Alexander Shpatov, who is participating in the Europe Readr project. The walk was guided by Shpatov himself, who also works as a tour guide around Sofia and whose book #LiveFromSofia included in the Europe Readr platform depicts the town and its particularities. At the end, the thirty participants were gifted the book Live from Sofia and invited to peruse the Europe Readr digital library.
Pogačar’s exploration of narrative and language is limitless, exploring also outside the zone of safety. He is one of those artists who disregard well-trodden paths, prevailing trends and wide readerships, and refuse to copy previously successful models in their work. His writing is a journey into the unknown and travel is at the centre of his book.
