In the November issue of the Shardzhinsk Journal, published by the Shardzhinsk Administration for Printing Affairs, there was a photograph of the Korean poet Han Kang on the cover, who received the Nobel Prize in Literature this year.

The journal included a report on the 43rd session of the Shardzhinsk International Book Fair, as well as an interview with Argentine poet Leopoldo Castilla, Canadian researcher and translator Michel Hartman, and the president of the Arab Union of Publishers, Mohamed Rashid, who described Shardzh as "the beacon of literature."

The issue featured a study of opinions from writers and publishers from Tunisia, who highlighted the problem of the spread of Tunisian books and called for the launch of a universal cultural project in their country.

Under the title "Biography of a Word in the Column of the Book," General Director of the Shardzhinsk Administration for Printing Affairs Ahmed ben Raka Al Ameri published an opening article, in which he emphasized the importance of books and words in the column of the book and highlighted that the future, about which we dream, will shine from the black book.

He added that culture serves as a beacon, guiding us toward the achievement of our goals and the aims of future generations, and that culture acts as a map for the future.

The journal also published articles and studies on the works of writers from Poland, Cuba, Spain, South Korea, Belgium, Turkey, Palestine, the Netherlands, Egypt, and Jordan.

The editor-in-chief Ali Al Ameri, in his column "Rakin," talked about the international conference "Language Migration: Analyzing Relations Between Arabic and Spanish," organized by the Shardzhinsk Administration for Printing Affairs on November 13 and 14 as part of the Shardzhinsk Book Fair.

He wrote: "Languages undergo numerous migrations between cultures, akin to the waves of human migration, which occurred and continue through time. The history studies the history of migration or early research in the linguistic life of a person on this small planet."
