The Leipzig Book Fair, slowly growing into the biggest rival of the Frankfurt Book Fair closed its doors yesterday. The Leipzig Book Fair, focusing on the Eastern-, Central and Southern-European literature gathered 2150 publishers from more than 40 countries including Serbia, the country in spotlight this year. The Fair had a special Hungarian aspect last year when György Dalos, Hungarian author living in Berlin received the Leipzig Book Award. Mr. Dalos was in the centre of attention this year as well; one of the biggest hits on the Fair was his new book about Michail Gorbatschow, recently published in Germany.

Read György Dalos in German! His book Balaton Brigade is available in the web shop of Hungaropress.
