Books in Translation

Translated fiction has never been more popular. More readers than ever are reaching beyond books written in their own language and discovering stories from every corner of the world. Thanks to the brilliant translators who carry these books across languages, voices that were once out of reach are now topping bestseller lists and winning major prizes.

Our collection leans towards Japanese and Korean fiction, with books from much further afield too. You'll find award winners and bestsellers alongside cosy reads, magical realism, unsettling horror and plenty of strange, singular "weird girl" fiction. Wherever these stories began, they're well worth reading in any language.
