Tonight, we honor all those whose writings have marked our existence and contributed, in one way or another, to its evolution. I am particularly pleased to welcome the prestigious writers who are among us and soon we will make isit the fascinating world of their respective works.

We grew up with them. They took us and transform us. Some, like the stories of Jules Verne, has amazed many readers before meeting reality. Today we live the scary predictions of George Orwell. But there are so many worlds to discover! [...]" HL/ HaitiLibre
