intensively presents and celebrates the diversity of international literature.<br \/>\nSince 2007, the Globale e.V. association &#8211; in conjunction with Theater Bremen, the local university and other municipal institutions &#8211; has helped the cosmopolitan festival to achieve a high reputation and even literary appeal.<br \/>\nIn this new edition, the format has gained additional prestige in that the organizing team played a major role in Bremen being named a UNESCO City of Literature.    <\/p>\n<p>Accordingly, many illustrious guests are paying us their literary respects this year.<br \/>\nFor example, journalist and literary scholar Uwe Wittstock will be presenting his highly acclaimed book &#8220;Marseille 1940&#8221; at the opening of the festival on October 28 in Bremen City Hall.<br \/>\nIt brings together dramatic and touching stories about the flight of German writers into exile in France, including Anna Seghers, Lion Feuchtwanger and Walter Benjamin.  <\/p>\n<p>Theater Bremen presents the winner of the Leipzig Book Prize in the fiction category: Barbi Markovi\u0107 presents her short story collection &#8220;Minihorror&#8221;.<br \/>\nSa\u0161a Stani\u0161i\u0107 will read from the twelve stories in his latest book, which has a remarkable title: &#8220;If the widow wants to be addressed, she places the watering can on the grave with the spout facing forward&#8221;.<br \/>\nAnother guest at Theater Bremen will be Eva Illouz, the award-winning French-Israeli professor of sociology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the \u00c9cole des hautes \u00e9tudes en sciences sociales in Paris.  <\/p>\n<p>Several Italian authors will also be traveling to Bremen, including Gianni Biondiollo and Igiaba Scego.<br \/>\nItaly is this year&#8217;s guest country at the Frankfurt Book Fair.<br \/>\nAnother highlight of the series of events is undoubtedly the commitment of junge globale\u00b0, which will once again be delegating authors to Bremen schools for readings and workshops.  <\/p>\n<p>I wish all visitors inspiring events and good discussions.<br \/>\nI would like to thank the organizers for their commitment and wealth of ideas.<br \/>\nMay the tried and tested festival continue to stand for diverse readings, surprising topics and an open-minded approach.
