From 9-13 May, Turin held its annual International Book Salon, with a packed program ranging from meetings aimed at publishing professionals to events dedicated to simple book enthusiasts. The event was a global showcase that turned the spotlight on the world of publishing and culture.
The title of this 32nd edition of the Salon was The Game of the World, one of the happiest and most influential initiatives of the last fifty years. And it is no coincidence that the official poster of the event featured a child as its protagonist because the world of culture is focused today on the new generation, which looks to the future to change the world.
The Pauline Stand (shared by the FSP and SSP Publishing Groups) paid tribute to the theme of the Salon by means of a wide variety of publications dedicated above all to stories, places and testimonies that identify the countless “boundaries” that exist today and the good will of many people to abolish them in different ways. The Paulines are striving to tear down boundaries between religions with publications on ecumenism and interreligious dialogue; they are combatting the geographical boundaries that many people are desperately trying to overcome by means of texts on immigration, boundaries of legality and exploitation by means of books on trafficking, and boundaries between “heaven” and “earth” through books on theology and spirituality.
