Between 24 and 29 June, Porto’s historic centre will turn into a city of books. The BABELL Festival (source in Portuguese) is set to be one of Europe’s biggest literary events, bringing to Portugal some of the most influential figures in contemporary national and international thought and literature.
Organised by the Livraria Lello Foundation, with the support of Porto City Council, the festival programme will include two Nobel Prize in Literature laureates, Olga Tokarczuk and László Krasznahorkai, as well as other authors distinguished with the prestigious Booker Prize, such as Margaret Atwood, Salman Rushdie and Julian Barnes.
