The Dundee Literary Festival gets underway for the 10th year.
One of the themes it will explore until Sunday, October 23, is language and how it brings people together and how it might look in the future.
There will also be several events during the festival’s run that shows the strength of bringing different countries and cultures together.
Peggy Hughes, programme manager of the Dundee Literary Festival, said: “Translation allows literature to travel and brings global stories to new readers.
“In this our tenth birthday year we really wanted to highlight stories from across the globe, as well as from right here in Dundee, and to introduce people to a whole host of different voices, cultures and ideas.”
The Dundee Literary Festival will take place from Wednesday, 19th October to Sunday, 23rd October, with an additional event on 25th November.
This year it will feature X-Men and Goldeneye star Alan Cumming, singer-songwriter Roddy Woomble and former Makar Liz Lochhead.
