How many books come in the book fair in how many styles and formats. This is the mine of knowledge of Bengalis.In 1972 with 32 books, the travelogue can be thought of as extensive today?Our progress cannot be captured in infrastructure development rhetoric alone. How a small effort in the 60s turned into a masterpiece in the practice of intelligence and meditation needs to be looked at.
According to the news of The Daily Star on March 18, 2022, 1,69 poetry books, 501 novels and 467 story books were published in Amar Ekushe Book Fair held in 2022. According to a report published by Bangladesh News Agency on January 24, 2023, the Book Fair Authority (Bangla Academy) has allocated a total of 573 institutions stalls for the 2023 Amar Ekushe Book Fair.
Every year its scope is increasing, the number of books, readers and buyers are increasingThe book fair is a Bengali eloquence of a different height. This inspiration is the resonance of thought-consciousness, mind and survey arranged in layers. There are not many in the world such a large platform for the collective intellectual expression of a nation. Compared to book fairs in Frankfurt, London, Paris, New York or Calcutta, Amar Ekushey Book Fair stands out with unique features.
In an advanced society, the same issue is judged.Any kind of creativity is an individual's exclusive achievement, its exercise is an individual's right, which is protected by all national and international standards.
The slogan that Bangla Academy carries on its chest - should be taken seriously -"Symbol of Bengali ethnicity and intellectual excellence". And if this is confirmed, the message of Amar Ekush Book Fair will be upheld.
