In pictures: Swedish author presents his children`s book "Dictator" in Mahilyow
Prominent Swedish writer Ulf Stark visited Mahilyow at the end of this week to present his children’s book “Dictator” (Diktatorn).
While in Mahilyow on February 17, he first met with students of Arkadz Kulyashow Mahilyow State University.
After that, he met with young and adult readers to present his book. The local organization of the Francisak Skaryna Belarusian Language Society had organized the event.
In "Dictator", Mr. Stark, a highly acclaimed Swedish author of children’s books, tells a story of a little boy who believes that the world revolves around him but in fact has to comply with circumstances in which he is put by adults and the rest of the world.
Mr. Stark`s books have been translated into 40 languages.
A Belarusian translation of "Dictator" has already been finished, and the book is expected to come out soon.
In an interview with BelaPAN, Mr. Stark said that he hoped that Belarusian children would love his books like kids in many other countries.
He said that he had already visited children’s libraries in Minsk, Pinsk and Brest to meet with children as part of his tour of Belarus. “I talked to children and I had the impression that they were interested in my books,” he noted.
