This year, the Leipzig Book Fair will not be held in the traditional in-person format. However, the Book Institute, together with the Leipzig branch of the Polish Institute in Berlin and German publishers, has prepared four online events as part of the “Leipzig liest extra” festival, which started yesterday.

In Slovakia, a translation of Szczepan Twardoch’s Król (“The King of Warsaw”) has been recently published. The publication of the book translated by Alexander Horák was supported by the Book Institute as part of the ©POLAND Translation Programme.

In the Czech Republic, the translation of Zagubiona dusza (“The Lost Soul”) by Olga Tokarczuk and Joanna Concejo has been recently published. The publication of the book translated by Barbora Doležalová, was supported by the Book Institute as part of the ©POLAND Translation Programme.
