IPH Books is once again showcasing Malayalam literature at the Doha International Book Fair 2025 for the 12th consecutive year, a statement said. This year, IPH has brought over 600 Malayalam titles to the fair. In addition to books published by IPH, the pavilion features works from a wide array of prominent Malayalam publishers including DC Books, Mathrubhumi, Pradeeksha, Book Plus, Olive, Other Books, Madhyamam Books, and Yuvatha Books.
A curated collection of acclaimed Malayalam novels such as Athreyakam, Maranavamsam, Mariya Verum Mariya, Oru Kaalam, and Agartha are also available. Reflecting this year’s guest country, Palestine, the pavilion hosts a special display of Malayalam books that delve into the Palestinian cause and related themes.
Over a hundred titles in children's literature are on offer, catering to younger readers. A major highlight is the availability of the most comprehensive Islamic encyclopedia ever published in Malayalam. The stall also features curated book packages, including the Tafheem-ul-Quran Package, Hadith Package, Children’s Literature Package, History Package, and Family Package.
Books authored by expatriate Malayali writers in Qatar are also prominently displayed, offering a platform for local literary voices.
