Objective:

FROM EUROPE, WITH LOVE: Empowering minds, inspiring change is a life-changing literary journey across Europe that unites countries, cultures and readers through the transformative power of books. 16 carefully selected books, from 13 different countries and lesser used languages, each one specifically picked to awaken the love for reading in young and older minds, while exploring vital themes of mental health, gender equality, feminism, disability, inclusivity, diversity and preservation of our planet. Through these diverse voices and stories, we strive to foster a greener, empowered, more inclusive Europe, where love, care and understanding pave the way for a brighter future for all. FROM EUROPE, WITH LOVE is not just a one-time endeavor, but a visionary long-term project that will evolve and expand with each passing year. While our opening selection of 16 books represents a significant milestone in our journey, it merely marks the beginning of a larger movement to cultivate a profound love for books across Europe and beyond, to empower and inspire meaningful change. Not coincidentally, the name of our publishing house also contains the word LOVE. And we wanted to bring this project to life under the umbrella of our beloved brand so we can maximize the impact of the whole project by leveraging the strong brand recognition we have cultivated over the last 14 years. More than 120 000 readers from North Macedonia have placed their trust in us to bring them the best of the world literature and we are honored to continue this tradition with FROM EUROPE, WITH LOVE and bring them the very best from all over Europe. Each subsequent year will see the addition of new books, diverse voices, languages and cultures. By building upon the foundation laid by our initial selection, we will continue to weave a tapestry of stories that celebrate the richness of European literature and inspire positive change around the world,creating something that transcends borders and generations.
