We interview Anna Soler-Pont, the founder in 1992 of the literary agency Pontas. After a journey to Cairo and a meeting with Naguib Mahfouz, her life changed and a young language student became a literary agent. The agency also evolved toward the creation of Pontas Films. It is thus on both sides of the book, both managing the literary rights of its authors to adapt them to film and producing films based on books or helping others to adapt them to film.
