Abstract
The Frankfurt book fair (FBF) was held from October 14 to 18, 2015 and once again proved to be the biggest event in publishing worldwide. No FBF without politics. The invitation of Salman Rushdie to give an opening lecture in which he defended the freedom of the word led to the withdrawal of Iranian publishers under protest. Navid Kermani was chosen for the Peace Award. In his moving and knowledgeable speech he characterized the communication problems the Western world continues to have with Islam, at the same time investigating and openly impeaching the roots of the various ongoing wars in the Middle East.
