Two decades of spreading knowledge and love of books by Nha Nam

The limited edition book series celebrating the 20th anniversary includes 20 outstanding works selected from tens of thousands of books published by Nha Nam. This is not only a collection to pay tribute to authors, translators and readers, but also a "slice of memory", recreating the journey of Nha Nam's growth, from the early days to its solid position in the publishing industry today.

20th Anniversary Limited Edition Book Set

According to Nha Nam representative, the selection of these 20 books lasted for many months with dozens of professional discussions between editors, researchers and readers. Each selected work has high quality content, long-lasting vitality and created a big buzz when first published. The book series is released in limited quantity, with sophisticated design, considered a "cultural souvenir" for book lovers and Nha Nam lovers.

Two decades not only mark the maturity of a publishing brand, but also the journey of creating and preserving reading culture values in the digital age. From “Dang Thuy Tram’s Diary” in 2005 to tens of thousands of books today, Nha Nam has proven that knowledge and emotion are still two parallel streams in each book.

Amidst the pace of technological life, Nha Nam still chooses a steadfast path, creating culture through books. And perhaps, it is this persistence that has helped Nha Nam become a part of the reading memories of generations of Vietnamese readers who love knowledge, love words and appreciate the beauty of reading culture.

Speaking at the ceremony, poet Nguyen Quang Thieu - Chairman of the Vietnam Writers Association - was moved to say that the limited edition book set of 20 representative works "is the spiritual portrait of Nha Nam".

Poet Nguyen Quang Thieu, Chairman of the Vietnam Writers Association, shared at the ceremony.

“The twenty books today can be considered as a DNA gene chain that establishes Nha Nam’s thoughts, attitudes, viewpoints, aesthetics, spirit and aspirations about books. Each book is a slice of memory, reflecting the journey that Nha Nam has gone through to contribute to enriching the spiritual life of society,” he said.

As a writer and also a former employee of the Vietnam Writers Association Publishing House, Mr. Nguyen Quang Thieu shared: Hundreds of books that Nha Nam has published over the past two decades have provided readers with comprehensive knowledge foundations - from education , aesthetics, philosophy, literature, religion to other extended areas of spiritual life.

“In the 4.0 era, when technology is developing strongly and the reading world is changing, Nha Nam's persistence in publishing quality books and nurturing a reading culture is truly admirable. It is a testament to courage and persistent belief in the value of knowledge,” Mr. Thieu emphasized.
