Between 13 – 19 March 2009 The National Book Centre was present for the first time at Salon du Livre in Paris, the largest editorial event in France. The stand displayed a selection of the books, albums and magazines published with the support of our financing programmes, of which 10 have been published in France, as well as information booklets and materials presenting the programmes and projects of the Romanian Cultural Institute.

Together with Institut Culturel Roumain de Paris, The National Book Centre organized the release of two new volumes and a literary magazine issue, published through the Translation and Publication Support and Publishing Romania programmes, as follows: the anthology Des soleils différents, Editions L’Inventaire, 2008, the Poètes roumains contemporains (Romanian Contemporary Poets) issue of the French Literary magazine Confluences poétiques, 2009 and Gabriela Adameşteanu’s novel Vienne le jour, Editions Gallimard, 2009, translated by Marily Le Nir.
