On the occasion of Host celebrating the 30th anniversary plus Czechia being the Guest of Honour in Frankfurt, we have prepared the impressive printed catalogue showcasing Host as a highly successful publisher on both the domestic and international stages. The hundreds of translations of Czech authors into over forty languages speak for themselves...
Among the highlights of Host autumn publishing schedule, we would like to mention at least three titles: Petra Dvořáková’s novella Wounds / Rány, the sequel to her bestseller Crows / Vrány, captures toxic family relationships following the loss of a sibling through the eyes of the ‘golden child’. Irena Dousková’s novel Let the Hare Run / Nech zajíce běžet transports readers to the Žižkov district on the eve of the First World War – with no lack of mystique. Indeed, Irena Dousková joins Host’s fiction list with this novel, which is wonderful news: our agency has collaborated with the author for many years, and her books have now been published in seventeen languages. And speaking of book fairs, we step behind the scenes of the trade fair world in a section of Markéta Hejkalová’s wide-ranging novel Happy Times / Šťastná doba, her most personal work to date.
