"National Book Week Gift Rewritten Due To Turkish Sensitivities
THE HAGUE, 07/04/07 - The National Book Week Gift (Boekenweekgeschenk) will be rewritten for Turkish readers. 'Mistakes' unintentionally crept into the text, the Collective Propaganda for the Dutch Book Foundation (CPNB) stated Friday.
Each year, an author writes a story or novella that the Dutch get for free when purchasing a book in the Dutch language during the Book Week. This year, the Book Week Gift was a travel story by Geert Mak entitled De Brug (The Bridge), in which residents of Istanbul speak about their city's history. For the first time the Book Week Gift also appeared in a second language: Turkish."
