The excitement is growing – in just a few days, we will be welcoming you to #fbm24! Under the motto ‘FBM24 is Read!ng’, a multi-faceted programme awaits you: exciting talks on professional and pop-cultural topics combined with opportunities for exchange and networking, as well as encounters with bestselling authors and many other stars. This year, Italy will be the Guest of Honour, presenting a mix of literary tradition and modernity. By the way: Even before the fair begins, there’s an additional special event to look forward to. From 14–20 October, you can experience Goethe's Italian Journey in a special escape room directly at Paulsplatz, right in the centre of Frankfurt!
