Edinburgh International Book Festival 2017

The Edinburgh International Book Festival began in 1983 and has since become the largest and most dynamic festival of its kind in the world. This year's festival programme 'Brave New Worlds’ examines not only the big, global questions exploring truth and post truth, terrorism and fanaticism, gender, diversity and identity, death, globalisation and a little bit of Danish lykke but also celebrates the most joyful, intimate and personal stories of individuals.

As in previous years the Goethe-Institut Glasgow is pleased to support the invitation of a number of authors from German-speaking countries. Please find out more about this year's events and guests in the calendar listings below.
