I want to study anabelian geometry, but unfortunately I'm having difficulties in finding some materials about it. If you could offer me some books/papers/articles I would be glad.

4$\begingroup$ I don't recommend that book. There are lots of errors (even concerning basic definitions) and inconsistencies. $\endgroup$– Martin BrandenburgCommented Jan 7, 2013 at 11:20

There is this very beautiful survey
Nakamura, Hiroaki; Tamagawa, Akio; Mochizuki, Shinichi
The Grothendieck conjecture on the fundamental groups of algebraic curves
http://www.math.sci.osaka-u.ac.jp/~nakamura/zoo/rhino/NTM300.pdf
You could also have a look at
Szamuely, Tamás
Heidelberg Lectures on Fundamental Groups

2$\begingroup$ That is quite a list of authors. $\endgroup$ Commented Oct 5, 2012 at 18:39

2$\begingroup$ I'm sure this book will be the one to get, once it comes out. If you start with Szamuely as an introduction, you could then move on to this afterwards. $\endgroup$ Commented Oct 5, 2012 at 13:01

$\begingroup$ springer.com/mathematics/numbers/book/978-3-642-23904-5 Is this the same book? $\endgroup$ Commented Oct 5, 2012 at 14:22

$\begingroup$ No (it is a collection of conference talks), but this is also a good source. $\endgroup$– user19475Commented Oct 5, 2012 at 14:25
This volume, Galois Groups and Fundamental Groups, edited by Leila Schneps has a great collection of articles, as does this volume, Geometric Galois Actions, including a nice article by Florian Pop on "Glimpses of Grothendieck's anabelian geometry."
If you'd like videos, here is a series of lectures on related topics, including a long series by Pop on anabelian geometry. At MSRI, you can find some lectures from Fall 1999, including one specifically about anabelian geometry.

Yuri Tschinkel, Introduction to anabelian geometry, talk at Symmetries and correspondences in number theory, geometry, algebra, physics: intra-disciplinary trends, Oxford 2014 (slides pdf)
The article
Matsumoto, Makoto, Arithmetic fundamental groups and moduli of curves. School on Algebraic Geometry (Trieste, 1999), 355–383, ICTP Lect. Notes, 1, Abdus Salam Int. Cent. Theoret. Phys., Trieste, 2000.
has a nice concrete discussion of fundamental groups.
