Description
De natura rerum invites you to the festival of independent bookshops. A day to highlight the important role of independent bookshops in our cultural, social and political life.
De natura rerum invites you to Sant Jordi, the festival of independent bookshops. It's also World Book and Copyright Day. A day to highlight the important role played by independent bookshops in the cultural, social and political life of a city like ours.
For 28 years, thanks to you, the Verbes Association has been successfully developing (with over 700 booksellers) a demanding grassroots movement: the Fête de la librairie par les libraires indépendants, the French version of the Catalan Sant Jordi, as part of World Book and Copyright Day.
On this occasion, De natura rerum invites you to a meeting [excursus] with Régis Meyran around his latest book, La racialisation du monde (L'aube, January 2026), at 6pm.
This year's bookshop festival is an opportunity to offer you, in addition to a pretty flower, a book on the history of the poet-librarian Umberto Saba and his bookshop founded in Trieste in the first half of the 20th century. To publish the history of a bookshop in the city of Trieste is to reveal the epicenter it was for the influence of intellectual, social, political and literary life.
All things considered, Arles is a little like Trieste at the beginning of the 20th century, with its nine diverse and lively bookshops, its many authors, its literary and intellectual events... A life in which De natura rerum has been a part since its creation, nearly eight years ago.
