“There was a great feeling of hope. A hope that everything would unify. That Europe would become this unified area, not only in terms of the economy or the absence of borders, but also culturally. That was the main idea of this literature train: that literature belongs to the people. [...] There were always lots of people. It was a part of these festivities to celebrate the new millennium, and people were very interested. We believed that a better millennium was starting, as the previous one was a bit difficult [laughs]. Now we could start a new life.”
107 writers, 6 weeks, 11 Countries, 1 Train. The Literature Express Europa was a project at the start of the new millennium that celebrated Europe’s literary culture. Stopping in 19 cities, including Madrid, Paris, Brussels, St. Petersburg, writers from all over Europe journeyed together to share ideas, experiences, and welcome in a new age . 🇪🇺
