Creative and literary cities of UNESCO greatly appreciate the creations of their great ancestors and contemporaries. The Bookshelf of UNESCO Cities is a project of the Directorate of the Ulyanovsk – UNESCO City of Literature program aimed at getting to know authors from these cities from different parts of the world and their multifaceted works that have excited more than one generation of readers.

A well-read person is an interesting interlocutor, but what books did he choose on the bookshelf in order to develop these qualities in himself? The question, of course, is rhetorical and there is no clear answer to it. We will help you learn about each of them in turn. After all, maybe the reader simply has not found the book that will lure him into the process of continuous reading. Or he simply did not pay attention to the details and did not understand why the book is so fascinating, why the work has not lost its relevance for centuries. The Ulyanovsk - UNESCO City of Literature program will help him in this.
