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 “Journey to the Prize” by Karl Peterson.
Karl Peterson, possibly in his late sixties, is from Monmouth County, New Jersey. He is an ardent hiker, stamp collector, and traveler who currently resides in Wanamassa. His most recent novel is a tribute to a dear friend who died, as well as an homage to martyrs. Visit his website for more details: https://authorkarlpeterson.com/
“Journey to the Prize” is a heartfelt drama set in rural Paraguay, focusing on the life of Manuel Guzman, affectionately called Manny. At the Acosta Stables, Manny leads a simple yet fulfilling life as a dedicated stable hand, caring for the horses and supporting his family after the passing of his father. The film delves into Manny’s journey of self-discovery, love, and pursuing one’s dreams amidst unexpected opportunities and challenges.
Manny Guzman, a young man who lives on a ranch raising horses and being a rider, is a great friend of Alex, who has a cousin, Alois Dorman, a research scientist in Germany. Set in 1933, Manny and his friend are set to go to Germany to help Alex’s cousin, who’s in a bind.
A year when Nazis are up to no good forces Alois, Alex’s cousin, to work on a project, which may result in disastrous repercussions. He needed their help desperately so he could get a copy of the project into the right hands. Will Alois succeed? Will they be able to achieve their goal?
