A New Book Exploring Maltese Identity In The EU Is Now Available For Free
A brand-new publication, Gżejjer f’Kontinent, is inviting Maltese readers to take a fresh look at how our identity has evolved over more than two decades of EU membership — and you can get your hands on it completely free of charge.
Released by Servizzi Ewropej f’Malta together with Europe Direct Valletta, the book brings together seven short stories written by seven Maltese authors. Each story takes a different angle on the ever-developing experience of being both Maltese and European, weaving together cultural observations, personal reflections, and the shifts that have shaped daily life since Malta joined the EU 21 years ago.
This collection isn’t aimed at children, it’s a thoughtful, adult-focused read that explores belonging, change, and the multiple layers that make up our national identity today. Whether you’re interested in literature, social evolution, or simply enjoy stories that make you think, Gżejjer f’Kontinent offers a rich and engaging experience.
The book is widely accessible. You can find printed copies in all public libraries across Malta and Gozo, as well as at Active Ageing Centres. A free digital edition is available online via the Servizzi Ewropej f’Malta website for anyone who prefers reading on a screen.
Readers who want their own printed copy can collect it directly from Servizzi Ewropej f’Malta at 280 Republic Street, Valletta. For more information, Europe Direct Valletta can be contacted on 2779 7300 or via email at [email protected].
If you’re looking for a meaningful local read that captures how Malta continues to evolve within a wider European landscape, this collection is one worth picking up.
