At Romania's stand, visitors will find a wide range of books by Romanian authors translated into Spanish in recent years, many published with the support of ICR through its Translating and Publishing Support Programme and Publishing Romania, run by the National Book Centre, as well as a diverse selection of Romanian-language titles.
