First volumes of Russian literature anthology in English to be presented in May


17.03.2017

godliteratury.ru First volumes of Russian literature anthology in English are going to be demonstrated at the Russian Book Festival to take place in New York at the end of this spring. The salary of translators was paid off the state budget, said the head of Rospechyat Agency Mikhail Seslavinsky at the opening ceremony of the Russian exhibition stand at the Book Fair in the British capital, Literature Year internet portal informs.

He made it clear that it was extremely hard to find highly qualified translators who could offer a new interpretation of this or that literary composition in English, French or Chinese languages. This was massive and painstaking work. The project implementation is to take from five to ten years. Overall, Russian literature anthology in English will comprise one hundred volumes.

Besides, similar one-hundred-volume anthology will be published in Chinese.
