FRANKFURT FOREVER         


The Edelvives team formed by Violante Krahe, Jorge Gómez and Esmeralda Alarcón has been attending the meetings that took place at the Frankfurt Fair held between October 18 and 22, 2023 for rights buying and selling in an edition that has celebrated 75th anniversary promoting reading, in the words of Juergen Boos, Frankfurt Book Fair’s Director : “Trust, which is indispensable in the publishing industry , is most effectively built through face to “face meetings” . The Fair is a place where stories, ideas or training have been shared so varied that they range from food and drink to religion, from travel to self-help, from design to comics and so on to a thematic diversity that is always enriching for human development.

This year, the guest country was Slovenia, which allowed attendees to get closer and discover its culture through the various events that have been held. In addition, these days you could attend different activities such as the conference of the European and International Federation of Booksellers on best practices for selling books, share experiences related to the marketing of school books or listen to Christoph Bläsi, Nadim Sadek and Anna Soler-Pont analyze Artificial Intelligence in the publishing sector.

Once again, the Edelvives Group stand designed by the company Mandaruixa has aroused great interest and spontaneously, the illustration by Antonio Lorente for  Sleepy Holly  which we will soon be able to read, became a photocall among the participants who enjoyed the magnificent news: There is no color! by Nacho Uve and Raúl Bermejo, Nudos by Elda Moreno illustrated by Ricard López, Malintzin . The Word Woman by Nadia López García and Antonio Pérez Robleda with illustrations by Francisco José Marín González and Christmas-themed works such as The Most Difficult Order of the Three Wise Men by Begoña Oro and Vanessa Cocova and How to Prepare for Twelfth Night by Òscar Vendrell and Lucia Serrano.

This edition of Liber, the international book fair, was held from October 4 to 6 at IFEMA. During the event, the awards ceremony was held for the Best Edited Books of 2021, which had already been announced in the spring of 2022.

This prize is awarded annually by the Ministry of Culture and Sports.

The diploma accrediting the third prize of the Best Edited Books 2012 was collected by Violante Krahe, head of publications of Children's and Young People's Literature of the Edelvives publishing house, who was accompanied by Esmeralda Alarcón,  Foreign Rights Edelvives Group.

These awards highlight the work of publishers and contribute to their international projection, since the winning works are presented at the main book fairs.

The diploma certifying the third prize of the Best Edited Books 2012 was collected by Violante Krahe, head of publications of children's and young adult literature of Edelvives publishing house, who was accompanied by Esmeralda Alarcón, Edelvives copyright coordinator.

These awards highlight the work of publishers and contribute to their international projection, as the winning works are presented at the main book fairs.

The illustrations in the Edelvives edition are a visual spectacle. With their vivid colours and unusual perspectives, they create an almost three-dimensional atmosphere that transports the reader to the world of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. The protagonists, with their expressive faces and lively looks, come to life in these direct and moving images.
