Miluše Juříčková - Translator of the Month

Our translator of the month for October is Miluše Juříčková who translates fiction books and technical writing from Norwegian to Czech. She studied Norwegian, English and German at Masaryk University in Brno, Czech Republic and has now lectured there for 36 years. Her main focus has been modern Norwegian and Scandinavian literature, translation studies and comparative literature. For more than 20 years she also worked as an accredited interpreter and translator, during which time she experienced many strange situations in courtrooms and prisons.
Miluše was awarded the Royal Norwegian Order of Merit. First as a Knight of 1st Class in 2003 and again in 2017 as a Commander, which gave her the opportunity to thank H.M. King Harald V. during a private audience at The Royal Palace. There were numerous topics of conversation and Miluše was truly proud to be able to talk about her students.
