'Dang Thuy Tram's Diary,' 'Tran Dan's Poetry' return to readers with a new look

“Dang Thuy Tram's Diary,” “Echoes of a Time,” “Tran Dan's Poetry” ... are typical works that the Writers' Association Publishing House and Nha Nam Company have chosen to publish special editions to serve those who love beautiful books.

On November 6, at the Writers Association Publishing House ( Hanoi ), Nha Nam Company launched a special edition with works loved by readers over the past 20 years.

Each title is released in 1,000 limited editions, numbered, stamped with a commemorative seal, and numbered from 1 to 999, making each book a unique collectible. Each print is accompanied by a bookmark with the author’s portrait, as a tribute to those who created these excellent works.

The books are selected based on three factors: Influence, reader reception and important role in each stage of Nha Nam's development.

20 titles are divided into 4 groups: Vietnamese literature-history-culture; Foreign literature; Philosophy-reason for living; Science- geopolitics . Among them, “Dang Thuy Tram’s Diary” (printed in 2005) is considered a milestone for the beginning of Nha Nam.
