European Book Prize
The European Book Prize (french: Le Prix du Livre Européen) is a European Union literary award established in 2007. It is organized by the association Esprit d'Europe in Paris.

Eligible books must have been published in one of the 27 European Union (EU) member-states in the preceding year, in the original language or a translation.
