German Translation of Quran Received Well by European Non-Muslims
Mohammadreza Wasfi, Iranian cultural attaché in Austria, said that a large number of people visited the Iranian publishers' pavilions at the exhibition.
He said that demand for the translations of the Quran was so high that the available books finished two days before the end of the exhibition.
The Iranian cultural figure added that the presence of the Iranian publishers at the exhibition was a successful experience which showed that comparing to Frankfurt’s book fair it was easier at the Vienna’s exhibition to communicate with the cultural group of the public, the Tasnim news agency reported.
A book on Quranic stories presented by the Zanboor Publications was also welcomed at the expo.
Zanboor Publications, a private Iranian multilingual organization publishing books for children and young adults, plans to attend the fair next year with hundreds of books on Persian literature, poetry and educational books in the German language.
The 15th Vienna International Book Fair opened on November 12 and concluded today, November 15.
