Hanoi to play host to Korean book exhibition
VOV.VN - An exhibition introducing a wide range of books from the Republic of Korea (RoK) to Vietnamese audiences is set to run at the Korean Cultural Centre in Hanoi from November 6 to December 5.
On display throughout the event will be 20 Korean books published in Vietnam, with versions in both Vietnamese and Korean, in addition to 60 books from the RoK which have previously received global literature prizes, including the Bologna RaGaZzi Award, The Golden Apple of the BIB, and Astrid Lindgren.
During the occasion audiences will have given the chance to meet Cho Chang-in, the author of famous book “Bố con cá gai”, through an online format on November 6. The book is about the love a father has towards his child and has been well-known among Vietnamese readers for many years.
Visitors will also be able to participate in activities during the exhibition, such as creating their own book covers and taking photographs alongside the Korean books.
The organisers will also give prizes to the winners of a contest aimed at discussing thoughts and feelings on Korean literature, with the competition to take place between October 12 and November 1.
In addition, Korean literature clubs will also take place, with Vietnamese readers able to learn about new Korean books from each other and also express their feelings on various pieces of literature from the RoK.
