This year, as in the last, you can look forward to discussions, book presentations, a small book fair, music, and good company. Come along and bring everyone who loves books and sincere, inspiring conversations!

This year's festival theme is "The Furnace. Wild Field". We turn a thoughtful gaze toward the steppe, both as the landscape we inhabit today and as a space stretching deep into the centuries. What has grown from the rich black soils of the Wild Field? What will grow there once the fires of battle have died down? What will we forge together from the metal tempered in this furnace? Come listen, speak, and reflect on these questions—and much more besides.
