Central European Book Club in 2026

The ICC cordially invites you to the meetings of the Central European Book Club in 2026. It is a space not only for discussing literature, but also for dialogue, where books become a starting point for building community, establishing relationships and reflecting together on the values that unite the inhabitants of Central Europe.

For 2026, we have selected another set of Central European literature titles, which are among the most interesting works of recent years. We will discuss not only their plots, but also refer to the social and historical background of individual works, touching upon the most important themes and motifs related to a given region and its specific characteristics. The program will include outstanding works of European literature, which will serve as a starting point for inspiring discussions led by experienced moderators.
