About Translations

With the support of the Georgian National Book Center since 2010, more than 65 works of Georgian literature have been published in German-speaking countries. In 2018 we can expect this number to be doubled. Literature of various genres is being translated and published in German: novels by contemporary and by classic authors, several collections of short stories, Georgian epics, several anthologies of Georgian poetry and collections by individual poets, not to mention collections of plays, documentary prose and essay-writing, children’s literature and children’s picture books, what is called ‘young adult’ literature, detective fiction, a collection of critical essays, and etc. Since 2010 were translated and published more than 200 books into 26 languages with the support of GNBC. The Georgian National Book Center is offering an funding programme to international publishers for “Translations of Georgian literature”.
