NORLA’s book tips for the 2021 International Translation Day

We at NORLA want to showcase the crucial work translators do, and in the last week of September we will join the worldwide celebration of the patron saint of translators, St. Jerome, or St. Hieronymus as he is known in Norway.
Even though our task is promoting Norwegian literature, we like to use the occasion of The Interational Translation Day – in Norway called “Hieronymus Day” – to recommend good books that have been translated well into Norwegian.

Thank you to all the translators out there who make world literature available to us!

(And if you don’t, you might still be able to figure out the titles, or recognize the authors, as all are translations into Norwegian).
