In the Netherlands, the Boekenweek (''book week'') is an annual "week" of ten days dedicated to Dutch literature. It has been held in March annually since 1932. Each Boekenweek has a theme. The beginning of the Boekenweek is marked by the ''Boekenbal'' (''book ball''), a gathering that is attended by writers and publishers. Events are held across the country during the Boekenweek, such as book signing sessions, literary festivals and debates. == Publications == A well-known writer, usually Dutch or Flemish, is asked to write a book, usually a novella, called the ''Boekenweekgeschenk'' (''book week gift''). book shops given the Boekenweekgeschenk when a customer buys a book in the Dutch language; libraries also give these books when a new person becomes a member. The Boekenweekgeschenk is published by the Collectieve Propaganda van het Nederlandse Boek (''CPNB'', ''Collective Promotion for the Dutch Book''). Some authors have included Maarten 't Hart (1984), Hugo Claus (1989) and Harry Mulisch (2000).〔 (Boekenweekuitgaven en thema's vanaf 1930 ), Collectieve Propaganda van het Nederlandse Boek〕 In 2001, the Boekenweekgeschenk was originally written in English by Salman Rushdie and later translated into Dutch. In the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s, the Boekenweekgeschenk was sometimes published anonymously, with a list of possible authors inside the book.〔 (Geschiedenis van de Boekenweek ), Historiek, 10 March 2010〕 As a competition, readers could submit their guess as to who the author was by postcard.〔 Since 2002, the Boekenweekgeschenk can be used as a ticket to travel for free by train with the Nederlandse Spoorwegen on Sunday in the Boekenweek. Since 1987, an essay, the ''Boekenweekessay'', has been written in addition to the Boekenweekgeschenk. The Boekenweekessay can be purchased in book shops. Some authors include Jan Wolkers (1995), Gerrit Komrij (1997) and Adriaan van Dis (2004).〔 The curriculum vitae of the author of the Boekenweekgeschenk – called the ''Boekenweek-cv'' – is distributed by public libraries among their members. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Boekenweek」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
