About 250 titles have been sold in Havana bookstores in the last five days, sources from the Provincial Book and Reading Center told Prensa Latina.
This experience is repeated for a third consecutive time this year. Fairgoers expects the opening of two second venues of the fair: Pabellon Cuba exhibition center in the central 23rd Street, and the Agricultural Fair in Rancho Boyeros, west of Havana.
Together with the traditional book sales, there will be extensive literary and artistic program dedicated to youth, children's activities, audiovisual exhibitions, night concerts, and musical performances.
Titles as "Decidme como es un arbol" by Spanish narrator Marcos Ana, "Medios violentos, palabras e imagenes para el odio y la guerra" by his colleague Pascual Serrano, and "El festin de los patibulos" by Cuban playwright Abel Gonzalez Melo, an Alejo Carpentier 2009 Essay Prizewinner, are among the proposals.
The women's publishing house will launch the series "Alfabeto de mama y papa," with four mini-books dedicated to the family and a collection of keys and secrets by journalist Gladys Egues on health and beauty, rules of coexistence, and useful tips for home, among others.
The fair will be dedicated this year to the Russia culture, and publish several titles. One of them will be "Cuentos de grandes escritores rusos de los siglos XIX y XX," and "Textos escogidos" by Alexander Pushkin.
