Literature

Philippines

Guest of Honour at Frankfurter Buchmesse 2025

15 to 19 October 2025

An island nation whose culture focuses on diversity: The Philippines, Guest of Honour at Frankfurter Buchmesse 2025, is characterized by the country's important artists, traditions of indigenous communities and global perspectives - framed by a tribute to the central figure of Philippine literature, Jose Rizal. His novel “Noli Me Tangere” inspired the guest of honor motto: “The imagination peoples the air”.

This creates a special bridge to the country's vibrant literature and unique storytelling. The cultural landscape of the archipelago is shaped above all by multiple influences, as it consists of 7,641 islands on which 183 languages are spoken by 109 million inhabitants. This makes the Philippines the thirteenth largest nation in the world.
