It aims to refocus the world's attention on the undeniable truth that all the accomplishments civilizations strive for start with a book, and every noble value ingrained in the conscience of peoples is encapsulated in a book," stated Sheikha Bodour bint Sultan Al Qasimi, Chairperson of the Sharjah Book Authority.
