Haus des Buches - Literaturhaus Leipzig
Literary Worlds. Latin America
This reading event, with Latin American authors Arturo Fontaine (Chile) and Cristina Rivera (Mexico), will be an opportunity both for committed students and the always keenly interested Leipzig readership to discover new literary trends in Latin America and to dialogue with the authors. These are on the one hand outstanding writers, but they are also critical key voices in the public debate on the social changes resulting from globalisation, on migration and on the recognition of cultural difference and diversity.

Leipziger Innenstadt
Alumni Meeting
This is why alumni from all over the world are invited to join in the 600th anniversary celebrations of their alma mater Lipsiensis.
The first Inter-Faculty Alumni Meeting will be opened by the anniversary patron, Dr. Hans-Dietrich Genscher, former German Foreign Minister and an alumnus of the Law Faculty, together with the vice-chancellor.
The former graduates will be able to trace the 600-year history of Universität Leipzig through guided tours of the Bibliotheca Albertina, the University Archive and the University Museums. Needless to say, all alumni are welcome to visit their former faculties and residences. Meals in the University canteen and receptions on the Friday and Saturday evenings will also help to take them back to their student days. In addition, former graduates have a chance to "rediscover" the University and city during the "campus 2009" science fair which will be taking place simultaneously, as part of the Leipzig City Festival.
