| Description | In Russia, from 1990 till 2013, 5–6 Czech prose fiction books were published per year. We claim that in the latest years the situation has not changed much in terms of numbers. However, we can observe some new trends concerning the repertoire of literary translations from Czech into Russian. On one hand, contemporary Czech literature is being translated now more often. On the other hand, Czech literature for children has become far more popular. Although in re-cent years some new projects promoting, in particular, Czech literature appeared in Russia, they seem not to have significant effect on the book publishing market. While analyzing non-professional readers’ reviews of Russian translations of adult Czech prose, we found out that after 2015, these reviews, still retaining an emotional component, became more oriented towards interpreting the work of fiction. |
