The world’s largest bookfair, Frankfurter Buchmesse, opened its doors last October 16-20, 2024, in Frankfurt, Germany. For worldwide business and trading, it is regarded as the most significant book fair on earth. More than 4,300 exhibitors and an expected 114,000 trade visitors from 131 countries, welcoming rights professionals from a total of 355 agencies and publishers make the Frankfurt Book Fair a place of endless discoveries. On the stages we experienced exciting international voices.
As the Frankfurter Buchmesse celebrates its anniversary for another year of serving the industry, Citi of Books did not miss the chance to join the 76th Frankfurt Book Fair (Frankfurter Buchmesse) in Frankfurt, Germany. This spectacular gathering honors fascinating works and their creators.
With a series of activities prepared, one of the most anticipated this year is the chosen country to be the guest of honor, which is Italy. The country will present not just its diverse, unique qualities as an attractive place to travel but also as a country with a rich literary tradition.
Citi of Books is excited to present books written by our distinguished authors. In our assigned booth, a range of books—from fiction to nonfiction—would be on exhibit. A book included in the gallery was “Grace Under Pressure: Inspirational Poetry of Comfort” by Vernna L. Anderson Jr.
Vernna L. Anderson Jr., the author of the book, dedicated his book to his parents and three daughters.
“Grace Under Pressure” is a powerful and meaningful collection that resonates with a broad audience seeking comfort, understanding, and even inspiration in the face of life’s challenges. Each of us goes through trials, hurts, and pains, but despite it all, we should know that we are never alone. We must endure these things as human beings and wish to bring comfort to those who need them with this book.
Through the verses, it seeks to remind us that, despite the challenges, there’s solidarity in our journeys. It’s a beacon of empathy, offering solace and companionship to anyone navigating through their own trials. Ultimately, this collection aims to be a comforting refuge, a reminder that even in our darkest moments, there’s a resilient grace within us that helps us endure and emerge stronger.
