The most popular Czech literary award, Magnesia Litera, has announced this year’s winners. The Host publishing house, which our agency works with very closely, has four winners.
Two books are presented in more detail on these web pages, information about the other two titles (the winners of the Fantasy and Journalism categories) available on request.
