June 15-23, 2025 – TAOBUK, Taormina International Book Festival

 

Taobuk 2025 (source: taobuk.it)

TAOBUK

Taormina International Book Festival, 15 ed.

Theme of this year: “Confini” (Boundaries)

Taormina, 15-23 June 2025

 

Such is the alchemy of Taobuk that brings the excellence of literature, the arts and thought to Taormina, a unique place in the world, a crossroads between western and eastern culture.

The Festival, born twelve years ago, from an intuition of Antonella Ferrara who presides and directs it, embraces the vocation of receiving the “literary sediments” of the city, synthesis of a history that coagulates events, myths, experiences, traditions. Every year, Taobuk chooses a theme around which a calendar of meetings revolve, with the participation of authoritative writers, artists, philosophers and scientists. The kermesse has taken on a multidisciplinary configuration and the programme is embellished with exhibitions, theatre and dance performances, film retrospectives, in evocative locations of which the most representative is the Ancient Theatre, together with palaces, corners and large hotels.

(Source: taobuk.it)

 

Over 200 writers, artists, scientists, intellectuals, politicians and economists from more than 30 countries around the world will discuss on  “BOUNDARIES. Guests include writers Peter Cameron, Joe R. Lansdale and Susanna Tamaro, who are among the recipients of the Taobuk award for literary excellence. The Taobuk Awards will be presented on the evening of June 21 at the Teatro Antico in Taormina during the Taobuk Gala, a show that will be broadcast on Rai1, the first free-to-air television channel in Italy.

 

Complete calendar of the festival will be soon available

Stay tuned!
