The Chinese and the Greeks have been getting along quite well lately. Another sign of this is the Greek representation at the Taipei Book Fair which opened a few days ago and runs until February 12. Greek books and writers are represented at the European stand, shared with France, Germany and Poland, which is this year’s guest of honor at the fair.
Vassilis Vagios, who teaches Greek studies at Taipei University, and Professor Li Sher Shiueh of the Institute of Chinese Literature and Philosophy will present the work of Rhea Galanaki on February 9 and 12.
Also Papasotiriou bookstores and Patakis publishers are launching C.A. Homenidis’s “The House and The Cell” on February 13 at 7 p.m.
