Attendance up at this year’s Leipzig Book Fair
Book lovers, authors and industry execs alike came together to celebrate the joy of the written word. Over 147,000 visitors graced the over 65,000 square meters of the Leipzig Exhibition Center. The Leipzig book prizes were awarded to Sibylle Lewitscharoff for her work of fiction “Apostoloff ”, the Herfried Munkler for his non-fiction “Die Deutschen und ihre Mythen”, and Eike Schönfeld’s translation of Saul Bellow’s “Humboldts Vermächtnis” or “Humboldt’s Gift”.

Finding Treasures in a City’s Disappearing Past
Doug Kanter for The New York Times
Li Songtang at his museum in Beijing, where he displays relics saved from demolition sites in the rapidly modernizing city.

The labor law that took effect on Jan. 1 makes it more difficult to dismiss workers and creates a whole new set of laws that experts say will almost certainly increase labor costs. Yet it may become more difficult for human rights groups to investigate abuses. Concerned about the growing array of threats to profitability, as well as embarrassing exposés, factories are heightening security, harassing labor rights groups and calling the police when journalists show up at their gates.
