At the 17th International Book Fair of Venezuela (Filven), the best-selling book at the Librerías del Sur booth was “Salir de la colonia”, by Vladimir Acosta, who was honored at the literary party held at the Federal Legislative Palace.
The information was released by the International Book Fair Venezuela, through its digital Twitter account @ filven2021.
This text edited by Monte Ávila, Acosta states that, “despite five centuries of struggles and rebellions, our countries, some more, others less, and Venezuela is one of the most, all are still subject to a colonial rule that has changed owners, but not of essence, for which the author has invited to break those old colonization schemes ”.
Filven was present in the spaces of the Federal Palace, the rooms of the Bolivian Museum and the headquarters of Librerías del Sur Orlando Araujo, where face-to-face and virtual activities were carried out, more than 4 books were sold and 200 editorial novelties of the State were presented and 125 in digital format.
At the closing of Filven, 36 new titles from the Carabobo Bicentennial Collection were also presented to add a total of 51 published books of the 200 that will finally make up the collection, to celebrate the Battle of Carabobo in style.
