Rencontre littéraire : Mireille Gansel

Rencontres littéraires
Beyond the Edinburgh International Book Festival, the Institut is happy to offer visiting French authors a relaxed and intimate atmosphere in which they can meet Francophone audiences and talk about their works in their mother tongue. All events are free, but ticketed and reservations are strongly suggested.

Mireille Gansel is a French scholar and poetry translator, mostly working with German and Vietnamese texts. Some of her publications of note are Chants-poèmes des Monts et des Eaux (Editions Sud-Est Asie/Unesco, 1986) and Eclipse de l'étoile de Nelly Sachs (Editions Verdier, 1999). Associated with the Ecole de la paix in Grenoble, she has worked with the musician and philanthropist Yehudi Menuhin and has supported educational and cultural initiatives abroad, such as with Roma communities in Hungary and Romania and with Pomaks in Bulgaria.
