Held from October 7 to 11, 2026, in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, the 78th Frankfurter Buchmesse brought together members of the international book and media industry for a five-day celebration of literature, publishing, and creative exchange. As one of the major meeting points for the global publishing community, the fair created a space where publishers, authors, literary agents, booksellers, rights professionals, distributors, and other industry representatives could meet, share ideas, and explore opportunities for collaboration. Beyond showcasing books from different parts of the world, the event encouraged meaningful conversations about the future of publishing, the changing interests of readers, and the many ways stories can reach audiences across languages and cultures.
Among the titles represented by Citi of Books at this international literary gathering is “ODIN’s Baked Goods” by Evgueniy Todorov. The book joins a diverse collection of literary works featured at the fair, representing the creativity, unique perspectives, and storytelling approaches that make the publishing world vibrant and diverse. Its presence at the event offers an opportunity to introduce the author’s work to a broader international audience while contributing to the exchange of stories and ideas among readers, authors, and publishing professionals. Through the representation of titles across various genres and themes, Citi of Books continues to support opportunities for authors to expand their reach and connect with new audiences in the global literary community.
“ODIN’s Baked Goods” by Evgueniy Todorov is a humorous, imaginative retelling of Norse mythology through the lens of baking, where legendary gods, giants, dwarves, and mythical beings become bakers, pastry makers, and culinary adventurers.
In “ODIN’s Baked Goods,” Evgueniy Todorov transforms ancient Viking legends into a wildly entertaining culinary adventure. Instead of waging battles with swords and shields alone, the gods, giants, dwarves, and legendary creatures embark on unforgettable quests through the imaginative world of baking, where every recipe becomes part of an epic saga.
Gene’s writing journey began in high school, where he competed at National Level for essay writing and culminated with the current publication of “Odin’s Baked Goods”, a nod to the Norse Mythology, Viking Sagas and key Scandinavian Kings, depicted through the Art of Baking. Gene’s vision is that human history and myths should bring laughter and smiles, while at the same time being educational and instructional.
Blending mythology, comedy, and clever storytelling, the book introduces readers to familiar Norse characters in ways they have likely never imagined before. Whether they are crafting magical pastries, competing in legendary bake-offs, or searching for the perfect loaf worthy of the gods, every chapter offers a fresh and humorous perspective on stories that have fascinated readers for centuries.
“ODIN’s Baked Goods” stands apart because it embraces the richness of Norse mythology without taking itself too seriously. Instead of merely retelling ancient legends, Gene Todorov reinvents them with originality and wit, allowing readers to rediscover beloved mythological figures through a refreshingly unexpected concept. The combination of fantasy, comedy, and culinary imagination makes every chapter feel surprising and entertaining.
