It is a well-established fact that the cultures of what are called “minor languages” are traditionally more open towards translation in general. It has always been the mission of Gondolat for many years to introduce the literatures of lesser known European languages as well as eminent new works and authors so far unknown to the Hungarian public. We believe it is essential to cooperate with the finest literary translators available. We have made it a point to acquaint our readers with the winners of the EU Prize for Literature. For this new project, we also intend to highlight the importance of continuity.The authors of six proposed books (out of the total nine) have been awarded the EU Prize for Literature. Adam Foulds, Emilios Solomou and Daniele del Guidice are going to be published in Hungarian for the very first time. As for the other authors having won the Prize and already published in Hungarian, we think it is especially important as well to make their other works available to the readers. We have a firm intention to do that with regard to our Prize-winning authors: Andrej Nikolaidis, Tiit Aleksejev and Carl Frode Tiller.The authors of the last three books we have chosen for the project are all widely recognized, multi-awarded, highly acclaimed writers with a considerable oeuvre of highest quality fiction. We have been working for many years in order to introduce the novels of Arnon Grunberg, the most acclaimed Dutch author of his generation, to the Hungarian readers. Our Uncle is one of his most compelling and masterfully composed novels. Howard Jacobson’s latest novel, J, a dystopia “that invites comparison with George Orwell’s 1984 and Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World” (Sunday Times), has been shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2014. Georg Klein is among the most acclaimed German writers today. His Novel of Our Childhood, which shows the author at the height of his creative power, received the Leipzig Book Fair Prize in 2010.
