In honor of the 50th anniversary of the birth of the poet and writer János Térey, the Térey Book Festival was founded in mid-September 2020 with the intention of creating a tradition, which has been held every year since then. Every year, the Térey Book Festival is dedicated to the great Debrecen literary figures, as well as to the contemporary authors, in addition to recalling the life and work of Térey, one of the most talented writer of Hungarian literature.
IThis year, for the sixth time, women's destinies and female creators will be in focus with the organization of MagdaFest during October. Every year, at the series of events honoring Magda Szabó, the fate of women is presented to us in many different ways.
The first classic Debrecen Literary Days were held in 1971, and the series of events with a long past, rich traditions gained considerable prestige during half a century. In more than thirty years, the Literary Days has become an institution of reflection on literary culture, much appreciated by the profession and the initiated public.
