Where are we now?
The 2024 World Literary Tour is proud to announce its next double-feature stop in Taipei and Jinan. Join us in celebrating Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Mandarin c culture with our selection of curated books, films and educational resources from October 1-31. The literary history of Taiwan and China is deeply intertwined, reflecting both distinct and shared cultural influences. In China, it spans from ancient classical works and philosophical texts to modern revolutionary literature and contemporary voices. Taiwan’s literary scene, while rooted in these traditions, has also been shaped by its unique history showcasing a blend of indigenous, colonial, and modern influences. Together, they offer a rich tapestry of narratives that continue to evolve and resonate globally.
