Adonis returns to Mexico hand in hand with Sharjah

This year the Guadalajara International Book Fair has as the guest of honor the Emirate of Sharjah, the third largest of those that make up the United Arab Emirates and one of the most progressive in the region.

This is the first time that this space has been granted to a country in the Arab world, which currently does not have any living author who has received the Nobel Prize for Literature in recent years (the last to receive it, in 1988, was the Egyptian Naguib Mahfouz).

One of the candidates for this award in recent years is Adonis, a well-known author of Syrian origin and a great revolutionary of Arabic letters, who presents his book

, from the Vaso Roto publishing house, at FIL.

Adonis will participate in the Fair by reading excerpts from some of his books.
