In October, HALMA publishes a collection of essays by European authors who received a HALMA grant in 2010, with a view to the presentation of the successful scholarship programme and its writers. The publication will be multilingual; all essays are being published in original language and in English and German translation.
Five authors write about their personal encounters with Europe. They travelled as writers and cultural ambassadors and discovered their Europe in the local and in the details: Filip Florian (Romania), Ignacy Karpowicz (Poland), Mareike Krügel (Germany), Flavio Soriga (Italy), Jeroen Theunissen (Belgium).
Graphics and photographs by artists from Minsk (Belarus) give a visual perspective on Europe and enrich the collection.
Literary travel essays by all HALMA writers are available on the network’s website www.halma-network.eu
With kind support of the European Commission and the Robert Bosch Foundation.
