20 publications worth reading

Launch of book series celebrating 20 years of Nha Nam.

The series of publications was selected by Nha Nam from thousands of typical works over the past 20 years for reprinting, divided into 4 thematic groups: Vietnamese literature - culture - history, foreign literature, philosophy and life, science and politics .

Among these, the most prominent is “Dang Thuy Tram’s Diary”, first published in 2005. The diary of a female doctor who sacrificed her life in the resistance war against the US to save the country, was returned by an American veteran, with fiery notes that touched the hearts of millions of readers. The diary was passed around to read, becoming a widespread political activity following the example of the young female doctor Dang Thuy Tram. That special mark was contributed by Nha Nam, with half a million copies quickly released.

Readers will meet again the titles of the phenomenon books such as “The Story of the Seagull and the Cat Who Taught Her to Fly” (Luis Sepúlveda), “Lolita” (Vladimir Nabokov), “How Much Is Youth Worth?” (Rosie Nguyen), “A Moment of Radiance in the Human World” (Ocean Vuong), “Slow Down in a Hurrying World” (Venerable Hae-min)… And of course, classic works such as “The Alchemist” (Paulo Coelho), “Norwegian Wood” (Haruki Muarakami) or “The Little Prince” (Antoine de Saint-Exupéry).

In the field of Vietnamese culture and literature, Nha Nam introduces to readers: "Tran Dan's Poetry", "A Thousand Years of Clothes and Hats" (Tran Quang Duc), "Echoes of a Time" (Nguyen Tuan), "History of Vietnam from its origin to the mid-20th century" (Le Thanh Khoi), "Vietnamese Civilization" (Nguyen Van Huyen)...

All 20 titles are designed with a uniform hard cover, embossed with gold foil. Each title is released in 1,000 limited copies, numbered and stamped with the Nha Nam 20th anniversary seal. Therefore, each book will be a unique copy, becoming a meaningful collectible and souvenir.

Poet Nguyen Quang Thieu, Chairman of the Vietnam Writers Association, likened this set of 20 books to “a DNA chain that establishes Nha Nam’s ideology, viewpoints, aesthetics and aspirations for books”, equipping readers with many basic foundational issues about education , aesthetics, philosophy, religion, literature... “Nha Nam, with its approach, has contributed to promoting the development of book publishing and reading in Vietnam”, poet Nguyen Quang Thieu shared.

Nha Nam entered the Vietnamese book market in February 2005 with the work “Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress” by Dai Tu Kiet, receiving the attention and love of readers. In particular, after the resounding success of “Dang Thuy Tram’s Diary” - with nearly 500,000 copies published, breaking all previous publishing records, along with meaningful social and public opinion effects, Nha Nam quickly affirmed its brand.

Nha Nam's books stand out for their literary content and beautiful design. Literary books and non-fiction books (history, philosophy, science , books on social issues, contemporary culture, enlightenment books, reference books, life philosophy...) are Nha Nam's strengths. Over the past 20 years, Nha Nam's books have won many prestigious awards, especially the Good Book Award, the National Book Award, and the Vietnam Writers Association Award.
