Summer holidays at NORLA
NORLA’s offices are closed in July for our summer holidays.
We would like to thank you all for a pleasant collaboration so far this year.
We are back in the office on Thursday, 1 August.
Norwegian books have been translated into Czech for 100 years. The Masaryk University in Brno is offering an exhibition in the Moravian Library of this impressive collection of Norwegian literature; The exhibition ‘100 years – 100 books’ is part of the celebration of 100 years of Czech-Norwegian diplomatic relations. Exhibition organizers are Professor Miluse Jurickova and Martina Smidtova. And the selection of the 100 titles have been carefully made from the almost 1,500 Norwegian titles published in Czech dating from the oevre of Henrik Ibsen up to contemporary literature. Read more here and here (in Czech). NORLA visits Brno for the opening on November 9th.
NORLA will also visit its sister office CzechLit | Czech Literary Centre and meet Czech publishers and translators.
