A series of daily events in Brno, Ostrava, Košice, Lviv and Wrocław, starting on July 1st and ending on August 4th.

Programme characteristics
 
The Authors’ Reading Month (ARM) includes two programme routes. One presents the national literature; that is, literature native to each location, i.e. Czech, Slovak, Ukrainian and Polish. The other route presents literature of a foreign country that is the guest of honour for a given year (e.g. Canada, France, Belarus or Austria in the past).
Two authors are introduced every day – a guest of honour and a local author (Czechs and Slovaks in Brno, Košice and Ostrava, Ukrainians in Lviv and Polish in Wrocław). The event takes place every day from July 1st to August 4th. It is a summit of sixty-two leading intellectuals who maintain the roles of ambassadors of their countries during the five-day tours. They appear in the media, in front of audience, they write articles and TV reports and they spread their work and ideas.
The main programme is accompanied by other events: film projections, exhibitions and concerts.
