The Bratislava literary festival, commonly known as BRaK, brought together readers and the wider community of authors, poets, translators, critics, and professionals working in the book industry, including publishers, distributors, illustrators, and even book reviewers from all across Slovakia. Although it is called the Bratislava literary festival, it also hosted several public readings and discussions with authors from abroad. At the same time, several discussions were dedicated to Slovak—and not only Slovak—literature in translation. In modern science, particularly in physics, a quantum is the smallest unit of reality capable of interacting with its surroundings. In Slovakia, KVANTUM is an interdisciplinary festival that combines science and art. It is one of several festivals currently taking place across the country that cater to English speakers living in or visiting Slovakia.
