The Guadalajara International Book Fair, better known as the FIL (from its Spanish name: Feria Internacional del Libro de Guadalajara) is the most important annual event of its kind in the Spanish-speaking world, and the second largest book fair in the world after Frankfurt's. The purpose of the FIL is to provide an optimal business environment for the book-industry professionals and exhibitors who attend the fair, and for the reading public eager to meet authors and pick up the latest entries in the market. Created in 1987, the FIL is put on by the University of Guadalajara and is held at the Expo Guadalajara convention center, which has 40,000 m2 of floor space. FIL is held every year, starting on the last Saturday in November and continuing for nine days, in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. The current managing director of the Guadalajara International Book Fair is Marisol Schulz, and its president is Raúl Padilla López. == Prizes and Honours == As a way of rewarding and honouring literary publishing, the FIL awards the following annual prizes and honours: * Premio de Literatura Latinoamericana y del Caribe Juan Rulfo (Juan Rulfo Prize for Latin American and Caribbean Literature) (1991) * Premio y Homenaje Nacional de Periodismo Cultural Fernando Benítez (Fernando Benítez Prize and National Homage to Cultural Journalism) (1992) * Reconocimiento al Mérito Editorial (Publishing Merit Award) (1993) * Premio Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz (Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz Prize) (1993) * ArpaFIL (1995) * Homenaje al Bibliófilo (Homage to Bibliophiles) (2001) * Homenaje al Bibliotecario (Homage to Librarians) (2002) * Premio FIL de Literatura en Lenguas Romances (FIL Prize in Romance Language Literature) (2013) awarded to Yves Bonnefoy 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「Guadalajara International Book Fair」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
