Date du début: 1 sept. 2015, Date de fin: 31 août 2017 PROJET  TERMINÉ 

The project Contemporary European Literature as a means to Enhance the Understanding of Cultural Diversity among Albanian Audiences (CELMEUA) intends to bring into the Albanian language 9 (nine) contemporary European Literature authors from various languages, styles and readership. One of them is an EUPL winner: Paulus Hochgatterer. The others are outstanding writers of the European modern and contemporary literature and winners of other prominent prizes,such as Rushdie, Pasolini, Baricco, Nesbo. We have selected also two children’s fiction books, in view of our publishing policies that aim at expanding the target-groups of our readership such as Funke and Colfer. The selected works are either their most successful or their latest, namely Ken Follet’s “The Pillars of the earth”,Hochgatterer’s “Die Suesse des Lebens”, Pasolini’s “Una vita violenta”, Rushdie’s “Shalimar the Clown”, Baricco’s “Tre volte all’alba”, Samak’s “Le livre secret”, Nesbo’s “Rødstrupe”, Funke’s “Tintentod”, Colfer’s “Artemis Fowl and the last guardian”. The works will be translated by our best translators, who have already translated important literature works into Albanian, such as Mrs. Shqarri who has translated Rushdie; Mr. Beshaj, who has translated Baricco; Mr. Doksani who has translated Knausgard, Mr. Trajce, who has translated Grossman, Mr. Mici who has translated Ende or Mrs. Skenderaj who has translated Pennac. The Publishing House has already initiated contacts with the copyright holders, and is in the process of signing the agreements. The pdf copies have been collected and there is a preliminary verbal agreement with the translators. Translations will last from 6 to 18 months depending on the text length. After translation, books will go through editing, proof reading, layout and printing. There will be a collective promotion activity, in which the project and the books will be presented to the general public, followed by a press release, media articles and TV reports etc.
