About

Publishers and translators tell the stories of Czech books that have found their way to readers in Spain and Latin America, especially in the past five years. Which titles have resonated most, why were they chosen, and what determines whether a Czech book will be translated into Spanish? This discussion will go behind the scenes to look at the publishing process and the changing book market, and to show the role played by translators, publishers and cultural institutions in the dissemination of Czech literature in the Spanish-speaking world.
