LITTERATEUR redefining world December 2025

KM Anthru Foundation proudly presents the December 2025 edition of LITTERATEUR Redefining World. Founded in memory of the visionary writer K.M. Anthru, whose passion for storytelling excelled languages and geographies, LITTERATEUR has evolved into a nonprofit initiative under the KM Anthru Foundation in Kerala, India. Edited by Shajil Anthru, a pioneering figure in literary philosophy with his creation of Zeroism and Fishbone Poetry, this edition exemplifies our mission to reduce divides, amplify marginalized voices, and redefine the world through the power of words and images.
Focusing on Italy, where a profound appreciation for arts and literature is plaited into the national identity, this edition holds particular tone. Italy, the cradle of the Renaissance, home to masters like Dante Alighieri, Michelangelo, and Leonardo da Vinci, has long been a global influencer in culture and creativity. Yet, in today's interconnected world, Italian readers, artists, and scholars seek avenues to engage with international perspectives that enrich their own heritage.
LITTERATEUR serves as that vital link, introducing Italian audiences to a symphony of global voices while subtly echoing Italy's own artistic legacy. The cover itself is a nod to this connection: featuring Francesco Hayez's iconic 1859 painting Il Bacio (The Kiss), a masterpiece of Italian Romanticism symbolizing passion, secrecy, and the spirit of the Risorgimento-the unification of Italy.
This edition's bold, unconventional pieces align with Italy's love for intellectual discourse, making it an essential addition to any personal library. It's not just a book; but which encourages Italians to see their own cultural richness reflected and refracted through others.With its visual-text collaborations, where classic paintings are reimagined alongside modern writings, it sparks interdisciplinary conversations.
LITTERATEUR enhances introduces underrepresented literatures and arts, aligning with Italy's UNESCO-recognized commitment to cultural preservation. The journal's focus on resistance and hope resonates with Italy's history of antifascist literature and postwar reconstruction. Its high-quality print and striking visuals make it a durable, reference-worthy addition, ensuring long-term value for patrons.
The key features of the December 2025 edition, we see our global commitment in action. This issue spans poetry, short fiction, essays, translations, and visual-art pairings, all curated to highlight cultural nuances. 6
