?European Literature Nights celebrate and support the translation of contemporary writing and work with publishers to increase the availability of European literature,? according to EUNIC.
?European Literature Night is based on the premise of literature being a unique creative tool reflecting the elementary dialogue between single voices and cultures who share the same reading experience. Literature is the tool of mutual understanding, cultural exchange helping to break down communication barriers.?
