The following survey will present in stages published books in translation by our authors. How many dozen of our authors’ books will come out abroad this year?
Bearing in mind that the Czech Republic is guest of honour at this year’s Leipzig Book Fair, will translations into German account for the greatest number? Will all share the great success of the first on our list? An enthusiastic full-page review of a Czech book in the literary supplement of El País is a rare thing indeed, and praise for the Spanish edition of Jan Němec’s novel Dějiny světla / A History of Light continues to come in.
This page is regularly updated, so why not return to it from time to time? You may be in for a few surprises…
