The international book fair in Beijing ended on Sunday. The Beijing International Book Fair is Asia’s largest book fair, with more than two and a half thousand publishers from 90 countries exhibiting their books every year, visited by more than 300,000 readers and book professionals. This year’s edition was exceptional: the works of five Polish illustrators made it to the final of The BIBF Ananas International Illustration Exhibition, and Dominika Czerniak-Chojnacka received the jury’s award. The Book Institute, in turn, was awarded for the promotion of literature from central Europe.

In Iceland, a translation of Drzewa (“The Book of Trees”) has been published. The book was translated by Illugi Jökulsson. The publication of the book by Piotr Socha (illustrations) and Wojciech Grajkowski (text) was supported by the Book Institute as part of the ©POLAND Translation Programme.

In France, Przejęcie (“Takeover”) by Wojciech Chmielarz has recently been published. The book was translated by Erik Veaux. The edition was supported by the Book Institute as part of the ©POLAND Translation Programme.
