Special programme:

European history and literature translation programme

The programme, developed by the CEEBP in response to requests from Central and East European publishers, is aimed at making seminal books in the fields of European history and literature available to an educated reading public that is broader than specialised circles, in the various languages of Central and Eastern Europe.

This applies, in particular, to books that assist in illuminating the local history from various perspectives in relation to the surrounding world, and that enhance a critical understanding of the local history in its wider European and Euro-Atlantic context.

The programme has been supported by the Allianz Cultural Foundation.
