new saleTranslation rights for Sergei Loiko’s political thriller THE FLIGHT have been sold to Poland.
Please see also his previous novel AIRPORT that is neither a war chronicle, nor a documentary, nor an investigative novel, but a work of fiction based on true facts and events. So far translation rights for 10 languages sold.
Georgia Guest of Honour Frankfurt 2018One of the most important writers of contemporary Georgian literature is ZAZA BURCHULADZE. Forced into exile and now living in Berlin, he will be one of the stars at next Frankfurt Book Fair 2018.
His most famous novel ADIBAS (160 pages, full English translation available for proof reading) describes the 5 days of Russian-Georgian war in a manner completely different to what we have seen in Georgian literature to date. The book is a drastic satire of urban Bohemia in a globalised world where there is no longer any difference between the real and the fake.
see you at my table 12F, Litag hall 6.3NEW AUTHORS for Frankfurt Book Fair at a glance:
VALERY BOCHKOV
Predicting the unpredictable with great insight, Bochkov’s trilogy about the assassination of the President is revealing a straight-forward view of nowa- days Russia. A breath-taking page turner.
SERGEI LOIKO

VIKTOR MARTINOVICH
all works by one of the most famous contemporary Belarusian authors.
OLEG PAVLOV
„Minimum of literature, maximum of life.“ LITERARY GAZETTE
VLADIMIR SHAROV
„There are novels that are fascinating because of their ambitious design, others because of their urgent demand for attention and their impressive sty- le, and then there are those with a unique subject matter. In Sharov‘s work all these characteristics are present and excellently combined.“ LE MONDE
ELENA ZVEZDNAYA
„Fantast of the Year 2017“ and three times LiveLib Award 2014/15/16. The most popular and successful romantic fantasy author in Russia.
To provide greater service to our publishing partners the agency has launched two new information subsites.
In particular, now, publishers interested in contemporary Russian literature can quickly orientate themselves and find out more using standard market criteria:
allows you to browse the range of awards won by the authors our agency represents as well as view short explanations of the major Russian literary prizes.
enables you to gain an impression of our agency’s range via our TOP 10 listing of successfully sold translation rights.
