World Book Day is a very important date in the literary world. On 23 April 2022, publishers, booksellers and libraries – the three pillars of the book industry – will join together with bibliophiles, bookworms and book lovers all over the globe to celebrate this event. The aim is to promote the habit of reading and make people aware of the importance of books.
This year, World Book Day takes place in the shadow of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The Ukrainian people have been pushed to the forefront of global news. To provide insights into the Ukrainian people and highlight the richness of their culture, the Council Library is celebrating World Book Day by showcasing a selection of Ukrainian literary gems.
Discover the country through the adventures of a mild-mannered beekeeper and his efforts to save his local population of bees. Meet Viktor, an aspiring writer whose only company is Misha, his pet penguin. Or listen to the words of a sharp-tongued poet, with an irreverently honest voice.
The books chosen are filled with irony, dark humour and social commentary; novels about feminism, war and romance; fairy tales, poetry and plays; ancient classics and contemporary works. Some of the works are funny, some are heartfelt, others hit heavy. There is a book for everyone in this selection that will transport readers to a different culture and different cities and help them empathise with their inhabitants.
