FINISHED
In 2015-2017 ERGO aims to complete a new publishing plan of considerable importance for the European literature and cultural dialogue entitled 'Reading Is Easy: 8 European Best Sellers in Bulgarian'. It features books by three authors who won the EU Prize for Literature: Viktor Horváth (Hungary) with an adventurous journey back to XVIth century Hungary in “Turkish Mirror” (2009), Karen Gillece (Ireland) with the multicultural story of passion, betrayal and love in “Longshore Drift” (2006), and Jacek Dukaj (Poland) with an alternate universe where the First World War never occurred in “Ice” (2007); further on is Miklós Meszöly (Hungary) with a metaphorical story of a man and the journey of his soul open for change through impressions, spiritual events and self-reflection towards the final transformation in “Saul” (1968), Emmanuelle Pagano (France, winner of EU Prize for Literature in 2009) with 34 short stories about life close-to-nature, sometimes cruel and physically challenging in “A Fox With Bare Hands” (2012), Eva Kantůrková (Czech Republic) with an epistolary story about the metamorphosis of a person subjected to police pressure in “Don’t Wait Till The Sun Goes Down” (2011), István Vörös (Hungary) with a modern tale about a spurned priest as if taken out from the Chekhov’s world in “Flood Baptism” (2011), and – last but not least – the enchanting story-telling stories and parables in Plutarch’s “Moralia: Stories and Parables”. The project will incite cultural exchange and popularization of significant works of literature and will promote greater intercultural dialogue between the European countries. The titles proposed by ERGO will strengthen the “Modern European Prose” and “Libri Legendi” series and thereby the publishing house will keep to its tradition to translate high-value literature works.
