TRANSLATIONS PLAYBOOKTRANSLATORS' 
WORD

Translating Client E. Busken for the Italian 
audience has been a very rewarding journey 
filled with linguistic puzzles and cultural 
intricacies.

Mr. Busken, the protagonist, possesses an 
extremely rich vocabulary, and is not afraid 
of forging new words when said vocabulary 
shows its limits.

Recreating the cultural and linguistic setting 
of the book took a great amount of creativity, 
but at the same time it showed how literary 
translation can be a powerful vehicle for 
cultural exchange, fostering understanding 
across borders.

The support from Creative Europe in these 
endeavours is instrumental, providing not 
only financial backing but also a platform for 
diverse voices to reach new audiences. Their 
commitment to promoting the circulation 
of literary works enhances the richness of 
European literature, and I feel it's a true 
privilege to contribute to this cultural tapestry. 

—Mr Francesco Panzeri, translator of the 
novel Client E. Busken by Jeroen Brouwers, as 
part of the I BOREALI - DIVERSITY IN NORDIC 
LITERATURE project

TRANSLATIONS PLAYBOOKFLOW OF
LANGUAGES

The graph shows the dynamic flow of literary 
exchange across European borders, illuminating 
the interplay between source and target 
languages supported by Creative Europe’s 
"Circulation of European literary works" funding 
scheme in 2021.

Through the unwavering commitment of 
translators and the support of the Programme, 
these literary translations have journeyed 
beyond linguistic barriers, amplifying the voices 
and stories of talented writers from various 
European countries.

As we embark on this visual exploration, let us 
celebrate the power of translation in bridging 
cultural divides and strengthening our shared 
European identity. The “Flow of languages” is a 
testament to the enduring value of language as 
a vehicle for artistic expression and an avenue 
for cross-cultural dialogue, exemplifying the 
European Commission's dedication to fostering 
a harmonious and interconnected literary 
landscape.

We extend our deepest gratitude to all the 
talented translators, writers, and literary 
professionals who have contributed to the 
success of the "Circulation of European literary 
works" funding scheme in 2021. Together, we 
have built a thriving community that celebrates 
diversity, embraces linguistic heritage, and 
promotes a deep appreciation for European 
literature.

LITERATURE

Por, mamaja ime nepërkë ma prishi rrugën. 
Fillimisht më tha se do të vriste veten nëse 
nuk do të shkoja me të. Pastaj më premtoi një 
laptop, që të mund të shikoja porno në dhomën 
time. „Vrite veten, mund të shikoj porno edhe 
në telefon”, ishte përgjigjia ime e sinqertë, por 
mamaja vazhdoi me asin nën mëngë (planin 
tjetër rezervë). Me gjysmë mendje, më premtoi se 
do të më jepte makinën dhe do të më ndihmonte 
që të falsifikoja dokumentet, që të mund t’i jepja 
makinës.

- Po, por ky baba nuk është si të tjerët,- shtoi 
mamaja e Banjës. - Ai është i gjatë sa një palmë

TRANSLATIONS PLAYBOOKKoshi zuri të zbresë. Ishte si një udhëtim me balonë. Ca re nate pasqyroheshin tek kullat. Ajo më falënderoi duke më folur në vesh. I thashë që nuk kisha dëshirë të më falënderonte, atëhere ajo zhvendosi fare pak buzët, disa centimetra më tutje, dhe më puthi. Pikërisht në atë çast u dëgjua e shtëna e parë. Dy burra kishin dalë në dritaren e dhomës së saj. Katër të tjerë mbërritën në tarracë me automatikë në duar.—“Céleste, ma planète” by Timothée de Fombelle translated by Venera Domi from French into AlbanianMeža vidū saskrējās nīlzirgs un degunradzis. Tas bija šaurs celiņš, pa kuru abi gāja, un viņi nevarēja paspraukties viens otram garām.- Es neiešu malā, - paziņoja nīlzirgs.- Es arī ne, - atcirta degunradzis. Viņi vērās viens uz otru.- Ko nu? – noprasīja nīlzirgs.- Jā, ko nu? – jautāja degunradzis. Bija dienas vidus. Saule spīdēja caur koku lapām zem tās, un tālumā trokšņoja upe.—"Is er dan niemand boos?" by Toon Tellegen translated by Inese Paklone from Dutch into Latvian

shumë i keq... Shahibi mori 
tapën dhe u bë gati… "Jo, të 
lutem mos më mbyll përsëri!" 
u lut zëri në shishe. Dora e

Вечерта, додека

ветрето ни ги 
бушавеше косата 
и крзното, Лола 
ми кажа дека тоа 
ѝ бил најубавиот 
ден во животот. И, 
не поради мирисот

поради милувањата на 
сонцето,туку зашто ја 
сум била со неа.

Katitzi dhe Lena 
udhëtonin brenda 
rimorkios, e ngarkuar në 
vagonin e mallrave. Ishte 
rreptësisht e ndaluar sipas 
rregullores hekurudhore, 
por gjithçka do të kishte 
shkuar shumë mirë nëse do 
të kishin pasur ujë gjatë gjithë 
udhëtimit. Në një stacion, 
Katitzi kërceu nga vagoni në 
mes të shinave, iu afrua një 
punonjësi hekurudhe dhe i tha: 
- Ç’kemi!

S mnogo sam muke navukla 
gumene čizme i izašla na 
vjetar s osmijehom i kutijom 
koštanog brašna. Još me 
nisu bili vidjeli, stajali 
su kod stabala jabuke i 
pregledavali grane. Hoće 
li nešto rezati? Frieda 
je stajala na tlu, na 
vjetrometini, nakupila

ih na hrpu kao da će 
zapaliti vatru. Kapa joj

pojurila za njom, vjetar 
joj je zagušio glas.

Era il suo fatto d’armi, il suo atto di bravura. Mi piaceva sentirglielo raccontare, soprattutto perché era sempre un po’ brilla quando si metteva a farlo, e capitava allora che le salissero alle guance un’eccitazione e un rossore che raramente le vedevamo addosso.

Blisko jakiegoś końca.
Bez słowa bez jest lepiej.
Na pół w świetle,
jak pół twarzy, 
 na której stary rok zostawił ciosy.
Bez sensu mówić mamo lub prosić kogoś 
o ukojenie,
 gdy opada na ciebie zasłona z dziobów
I wiesz, że nie ma czegoś takiego
 jak inna przyszłość.
—"Cobalt" by Claudiu Komartin 
translated by Jakub Kornhauser from 
Romanian into Polish

Eines Tages rief man sie ins Büro der Direktorin und dort  
zum ersten Mal hörte sie das Geräusch einer Ohrfeige,  
zischelnder Viskose, aber auch wie die Tasse aus  
Knochenporzellan klingt, wenn die planmäßigen Explosionen   
der Mine die Stadt erschüttern.

—"Малкият свят, големият свят" by Nadja Radulova   
translated by Henrike Schmidt from Bulgarian into German

Leży przewrócona na brzegu skarpy.
Oślepione koło kręci się na wietrze.
Usta wymiotowały jak po chemioterapii.
Teraz znów szepcą, ale bez uczucia ulgi.
Nie jest bohaterem homeryckim. Ma brzuch niezgrabnych baranów,
Które przemycają coś większego i cięższego od siebie.
Aż do tego miejsca, gdzie ich ślad milknie
I trzeba oszukać spojrzenie, oszukać słowa.
Rozsypany ładunek zaczyna z powrotem wspinać się po zboczu.
Rany goją się, jakby były tylko na papierze.

SHORT STORIES

Ноќта од шумата одекнува татнеж. Лидија го чувствува во дното на стомакот и ѝ 
станува страв. Се качува во креветот на татко ѝ и се покрива со неговото ќебе. Во 
собата одеднаш е светло како сред ден, веднаш потоа нешто треснува, како да 
се рушат куќите во селото. Дали и мама може да чуе, дали и нејзе ѝ е страв? Тато

се буди и ја напипува.

into Macedonian

Turpmāk Filips bieži ciemojās pie Folmāriem. 
Viņam patika šī ģimene: pašpārliecinātais, 
labsirdīgais tēvs, 
skaistā māte, kura 
labprāt sarunājās 
ar Filipu un taujāja, 
ko viņš šuj un ko 
lasa, Eduards, 
kurš iemācīja 
viņam šahu – ne 
tikai noteikumus, 
bet arī atklātnes 
un stratēģiju 
vidusspēlei un 
galotnei. Kad 
Filipu bija ielūgusi 
Zuzanne, bet mājās 
bija tikai Eduards, 
Filips negribēja 
viņu sāpināt, 
nevaicāja, kur 
Zuzanne ir un ko dara, un 
pavadīja laiku ar Eduardu.

—"Abschiedsfarben" by Bernhard Schlink 
translated by Silvija Brice from German into 
Latvian

Батко ми 
харесва, 
защото знае 
отговорите 
на много 
въпроси и умее 
да рецитира 
стихотворения. 
Харесва ми 
гората, защото 
не е страшна. 
Защото е весела. 
Защото тук не 
идват войници, 
защото няма 
войници, нито 
братчета, които 
плачат безспир. 
Които повтарят 
искам вкъщи, моля те, моля те, искам вкъщи!. 
Нито има тъжни бащи. Само батко ми Илари, 
моят germà, който е брат на всички, на всички, 
които искат да бъдат негови братя.

TRANSLATIONS PLAYBOOK– Videćeš kakva je to ženska – klimao je glavom. Momak nije ništa rekao, samo je ritnuo nogom kapiju groblja. Rešetka od kovanog gvožđa bolno je zaškripala, kao da se uvredila. Uz drvenu ogradu među busenima koprive ležalo je nekoliko nadutih plastičnih boca. A on se još i čudio, jer ovi sve odnose. Zašto onda ove nisu pokupili?—"Isten. Haza. Csal. - Novellák" by László Darvasi translated by Vicko Arpad from Hungarian into Serbian 
 
Heute Morgen erhielt ich die Nachricht, dass 
unser Nachbar Dževad gestorben ist. Er war ein 
Freund meines Vaters. Mitte der Achtziger hatte er 
angefangen, Hüte aus Köper herzustellen. Sobald es 
wärmer wurde, setzte er sich alljährlich in seinen Golf 
und fuhr nach Dubrovnik. Dort hatte er einen Stand 
in der Altstadt, in Pile. Die Menschen aus Dubrovnik 
nannten ihn hadžija – nicht, weil er bereits den 
Haddsch hinter sich hatte, sondern weil sie ihn als 
wichtigen Mann wahrnahmen. 
Wir aus 
der Straße 
nannten ihn 
šeširdžija, 
Hutmacher.

—"Požuri i 
izmisli grad" by 
Lejla Kalamujić 
translated by 
Marie Alpermann 
from Bosnian into 
German

Едно утро кога 
Тулија стана 
и отиде да го 
не дишеше. Лицето 
провери, тој веќе 
во црниот брадест венец беше бело како 
вар, очите лежеа безизразно како две 
камчиња во нивните шуплини. На аглите 
од устата беше залепена згрутчена 
крв. Освен тоа, се искакал во гаќи, но 
тоа не беше ништо ново. Тулија си го 
затна носот и ја положи десната рака 
на неговото срце за да провери дали 
уште бие. Ништо. Постави два прста на 
неговите артерии на вратот.

—"Die Mutationen" by Francis Kirps 
translated by Ksenija Cockova from 
German into Macedonian

Namestili sva klimo, 
ki nama je ukradla 
poletje. Postalo 
je hladno kot v 
grobnici. Zaradi 
zaprtih oken ni bilo 
slišati škržatov 
niti zvokov z ulice. 
Knjigarno v ulici so 
zaprli. Zdaj je tam 
neonska picerija. 
Celotno mesto je 
postalo menza. 
Majhne trgovine 
in knjigarne so 
izginile. Samo 
DM in rožnata 
Bipa na vsakem 
koraku. Tam ni 
ne jogurtov ne 
radenske, je pa veliko kremic 

in olj z vonjem po kokosu in tropskem sadju. 
Ohranila se je samo čisto majhna trgovinica z 
mešanim blagom, majhna kot prahec, z veliko 
sliko generala v izložbi. Kmalu se je tudi ta 
zaprla. Pred najinimi očmi je nastajalo neko 
drugo mesto. Hudournike so izrinili galebi. 
Naredili so si gnezda na dimnikih.

TRANSLATIONS PLAYBOOKБеше краят на юни, когато в обущарницата влезе той. В гърдите ми нещо се повдигна с такава сила, че почти изгубих почва под краката. Ръцете ми изтръпнаха, а езикът в устата ми стана неизползваем къс месо. Той събу обувките от краката си и ги вдигна във въздуха. Подметките им се държаха само на токовете, а предните части висяха като изсушени езици към пода.—"Čebelja družina" by Anja Mugerli translated by Ljudmil Dimitrov from Slovenian into BulgarianPUBLISHERS,
