Las ferias del libro ante su armagedón

Abstract

The pandemic has erupted in the world of books like a tsunami, putting book fairs in a bind, we can agree that the virus killed the star of the fairs. We have also been able to verify in these months that, although the world has been paralyzed, people continued reading. We have also been able to verify in these months that, although the world has been paralyzed, people continued reading. También hemos podido comprobar en estos meses que, aunque el mundo se ha paralizado, la gente siguió leyendo. Also we have seen in recent months that although the world has paralyzed, people continued to read. También hemos visto en los últimos meses que aunque el mundo se ha paralizado, la gente siguió leyendo. At this point we must reflect on whether it is possible to continue holding the fairs with rigorous security protocols or whether it is cautious and responsible to cancel them. It is obvious that fear turns vertigo into panic, and this situation weighs on the decisions to be made, especially when observing that the outbreaks maintain the activity of the virus. It seems reasonable in any case to flee from extreme courage and accept that prudence and responsibility are what predominate in decision-making.
