I look forward each August in
August to the place for contemplations, introspection, literary collaborations,
thought-provoking conversation, famous faces, - the imaginative landscape that
represent creative liberty and literature at the book festival. The stories we will hear, famous faces, new books. All
the characters – Philosophers, individual free thinkers, dreamers, creative,
artists, academics,
Some of
the famous writers who gave talks this year at EIBF 2016.
Historical
and cultural author Melvyn Bragg talked of
- that it is not language but our being able to ‘Imagine’ that makes us
better – mostly IMAGINE BETTER. The Book Festival is truly international with over 800 participants from
55 different countries coming together to share their books, ideas and stories.
