A Literatura Brasileira foi a Frankfurt: o Brasil como Homenageado da Frankfurter Buchmesse (1994 e 2013)
In the decades of 1990, 2000 and 2010 Brazil attracted the attention of the international literary circuit. On several occasions the country has been invited to participate in fairs and literary festivals as guest of honor (Guadalajara Book Fair, Paris Book Fair, Bologna Book Fair, etc.). However, Brazil's participation in the Frankfurt Book Fair twice as guest of honor (1994 - 2013) constituted the most privileged moments of the country's exhibition on the edition world stage. Even though it is an eminently commercial arena, Frankfurt is much more than that, with important symbolic implications as well. This article aims to compare the lists of writers officially invited by the Ministry of Culture in the two editions of the Fair in which Brazil was invited of honor (in 1994 and 2013), also comparing the organizing committees and the budgets of each event.
