An extraordinary soiree of poetry and music. View this email in your browser Wednesday 15 April, 7pm, 1 Belgrave Square Dwelling in Words: An Evening with Ana Blandiana Poet Ana Blandiana recalls, in the company of some of her most outstanding translators and commentators, her exceptional personal and poetic journey that turned a talented young literary aspirant, with a family background that was undesirable for the communist system, into a legendary writer who, book after book, has distilled the tribulations of a national soul haunted by lies and violence. The special guest's interlocutors are poets Fleur Adcock and Vidyan Ravinthiran, together with translators Viorica Patea and Paul Scott Derrick. Ana Blandiana will read excerpts from My Native Land A4, her most recent book published in English by Bloodaxe Books in 2014.   The dialogues and readings of the evening will be punctuated with musical interventions by saxophonist Nicolas Simion and guitarist Sorin Romanescu, who will introduce to the London audience their newly released "Romanian Impressions" jazz suite. Free entry. Please book in advance. Full programme of the Romanian presence at the London Book Fair.

Days of book launching events, talks and concerts. View this email in your browser 14-16 April, Olympia Exhibition Centre, European Bookshop, Romanian Cultural Institute Romania's 8th consecutive participation at the London Book Fair evokes, through the authors and the books reunited in a truly Romanian-British programme, the virtue of literature to precipitate great encounters and revelations: inner, cultural, geographical. At the same time, the events organised at Romania's stand in Olympia Exhibition Centre, at the Romanian Cultural Institute in 1 Belgrave Square and at the European Bookshop near Piccadilly Circus convey the power of words to reveal, through various yet equally legitimate discourses, even the most obscure or intricate facets of identity.   The Romanian programme revolves around two major writers - one Romanian, the other British - who have made their work, each in original way, the privileged space of major discoveries. Our special guest is poet Ana Blandiana, not only one of the most important postwar Romanian authors, but also a tireless campaigner for civic causes and builder of institutions devoted to the conservation of national memory. The other author we are celebrating is Sir Patrick Leigh Fermor (1915-2011), war hero, towering cultural personality and the most revered travel writer in Britain for decades, who transcribed, in hundreds of exquisite pages, the jubilation of his encounter with the people and the landscapes of Romania.   The three days of meetings, dialogues and book launches bring together, as in previous years, writers and academics who forged relevant and enduring links between the Romanian and the British cultural scene: poets Fleur Adcock and Vidyan Ravinthiran, translators Viorica Patea and Paul Scott Derrick, writer Liviu Antonesei, researchers Marius Turda, Daniel Briggs and Dorina Dobre, authors Nigel Shakespear and Ian Macilwain, historian Alan Ogden, journalist Tom Fort, as well as major cultural figures of the Romanian diaspora in the UK - Michael de Styrcea, Şerban Cantacuzino and Marie-Lyse Ruhemann, joined by musicians Nicolas Simion and Sorin Romanescu.   Tuesday 14 April 12pm/ Stand 5C120/ Olympia Exhibition Centre/ Hammersmith Road The Inauguration of the Romanian Stand at the London Book Fair The opening event at Romania's stand in Olympia Exhibition Centre, held in the presence of HE Dr Ion Jinga, the Romanian Ambassador to the Court of St James's, brings together Romanian and British authors, publishers and other professionals from both sides of the English Channel. As of last year's edition of the fair, Romania's stand has been personalised by Romanian graphic designer Zoe Olaru. 7pm/ European Bookshop/ 5 Warwick Street Emblems of Identity: New Romanian Books in English The latest Romanian books in English as well as books about Romania signed by British authors are presented at the European Bookshop in the heart of London, home to the only section of books in the Romanian original in the UK. Featuring authors Liviu Antonesei (The Innocent and Collateral Victims of a Bloody War with Russia, Profusion Publishing); Marius Turda (Latin Eugenics in Comparative Perspective, Bloomsbury Publishing House); Daniel Briggs, Dorina Dobre (Culture and Immigration in Context: An Ethnography of Romanian Migrant Workers in London, Palgrave Macmillan); Nigel Shakespear (Times New Romanian: Voices and narrative from Romania, Matador) and Ian Macilwain (In Search of the Village Distilleries of Maramures, Broombank Publishing).
