The project of Culture Literary Translation consists of a selection of 10 literary works by European authors to be translated into Croatian language. When making this selection following criteria was taken into consideration: literary quality that would allow the circulation of literary works of high quality between domicile countries of the authors and Croatian public and literary awards the proposed works were awarded. Special regard was given to European Union Prize for Literature as well as other significant European and national literary awards such as Camilo Castelo Branco Grand Prize, Norwegian Critics Prize for Literature, Manuel Llano International Prize, Josef Škvorecký Award, etc. All of the authors proposed in this project have been acclaimed in their own countries as well as abroad as high quality authors most of whom have been heralds of new waves of literature. Being guided by the above criteria we decided to propose following literary works to be translated into Croatian language: Alfonso Cruz: Kokoschka’s Doll, Carl Frode Tiller: Encirclement, Cristian Crusat Schretzmeijer: Brief theory of travel and the desert, Emmanuelle Pagano: Nous nous, Nataša Kramberger: Blackberry Heaven, Raquel Martínez-Gómez: Sombras de unicornio, Tomáš Zmeškal: Biography of a Black and White Lamb, Viktor Horváth: Turkish Mirror, Noémi Szécsi: Komunist Monte Cristo, Paulus Hochgatterer: The Sweetness of Life. Translators chosen to translate these books are amongst most experienced and professional translators for a specific language.The selection of fiction will support the circulation of European literature and educate Croatian public about literary and historical heritage of fellow Europeans as well as enhance their knowledge of European literature. This will be achieved through both: the translations themselves as well as ensuring the widest possible accessibility and visibility by usage of traditional and digital media in the process of distribution and promotion.
