Kitabistan was established in 2016 with the goal to have better-translated literature in Azerbaijan, and in particular to translate and publish books on gender equality, democracy, human rights, and innovation. Kitabistan means Book Country in English, and every reader of this imaginary country is their citizen. Books that are not serving humanity, that incite national, racial, linguistic, gender discrimination among people, and that promote violence and aggression are prohibited in our country.
Kitabistan serves its readers by teaching all the positive experiences of the world and by introducing alternative ideas. Kitabistan puts to use the proceeds from the sale of books to finance the next books, as well as to provide school supplies for the children of marginalized families to attend school.
