Making the World Legible 2005 - 2011

In 2010, Writers in Translation marked its fifth anniversary with the publication of an anthology containing extracts from 36 books that the programme had supported since its inception. Making the World Legible contains a dazzling array of fiction, non-fiction and poetry from some of the best international writers of our time; distinct and powerful voices from every corner of the globe.

We're delighted that extracts from this celebrated anthology are now available on the Ether Books App free of charge. World authors including Emine Sevgi Ozdamar, Jose Eduardo Agualusa, Jean Hatzfeld, Yassin Adnan, Alberto Mendez and Tahar Ben Jelloun have been published, with more to follow. You can download extracts free from the free Ether App here.

The full anthology is also available online, absolutely free! Download it now... and be transported to another place.

Writers in Translation continues to promote and celebrate literature in translation. Please check the Events page of this website for details of upcoming events.
