This year’s International Book Fair and Svět Knihy Literary Festival in Prague scheduled for May had to be cancelled, but Czech readers were not completely deprived of the opportunity to meet Polish writers whose books have recently been translated into Czech.

In the Czech Republic, the translation of the biography of Ota Pavel by Aleksander Kaczorowski (“Ota Pavel. Under the Surface”) has been published. The translation by Martin Veselka was supported by the Book Institute as part of the ©POLAND Translation Programme.

In the Czech Republic, the translation of Jakub Żulczyk’s bestseller novel Ślepnąc od świateł (“Blinded by the Lights”) has been published. The translation by Michael Alexa and Jan Faber was supported by the Book Institute as part of the ©POLAND Translation Programme.
