Non fiction-13 beat the records of the previous years! With each year the number of its visitors and participants keeps growing (just the first day saw a several thousands of them!)

 More than 250 universal and specialized publishing houses and literary associations from 20 different countries, including Grate Britain, Germany, Denmark, Israel, Spain, Norway, Finland, France, Czech Republic, Sweden, and Japan have presented their book products.

What is more, 150 events took place under the auspices of the exhibition, Festival of the world thought "Around the World", presentation of Andrey Belyi award, 'Man and books' and 'Public thought' awards, and other. Intellectual literature fair didn't disregard even the youngest readers. Children were presented with an extensive program.

Various presentations, meetings, discussions, and special projects preoccupied erudite guests.

According to the publishers, readers generally preferred popular-scientific literature, although fiction also found a ready market.

The crowd surrounding the Foundation stand made it difficult to even look at it!  The speed with which Heidar Jemal's “David against Goliath” books were bought up was incredible. The second day saw the last copies of “Islamic art and spirituality” book being sold out. Many came having learned that Korben's work would be presented at the fair.  “The Prophet's Personality”, tafsir “Lukman”, “Studies of the Qur'anic History” and “Imam Mehdi - the saviour of humanity” enjoyed special attention. Almost every customer left with a copy of “Musulmanka” magazine.

Experts in Middle Eastern studies and languages were answering numerous questions of those interested in Islamic culture and the life of Muslim East countries. Almanac 'Jewel of Faith' and Nazim al-Deraivi work "Qur'an and Prophet Muhammad in Russian classical poetry" answered questions about the development of Islam in Russia and interaction of Islamic and Christian cultures.

The only thing left is to wish our readers success in their spiritual search and inexhaustible zeal! Further information about the following exhibitions and other intellectual events can always be found on our website.
