Dereta publishing house: (In)Tolerance – Seven Awarded European Writers
(In)Tolerance – Seven Awarded European Writers is Dereta’s publishing project, which involved seven awarded authors from six EU countries. We have acquired rights and we will translate these texts, disseminate and promote the selected books in the best possible way.There are several cross points that connect them, otherwise, very different authors, and the central one is the question of (in)tolerance in contemporary society on various levels: social, political, personal. It is the basic question of how we see others: our enemies, friends, family, strangers, lovers, and how we tolerate those who are different than we are. All those novels are very communicative, understandable for broad audience, but also they deal with very important existential questions which are common for most people, regardless their nationality or religion. At the same time, there is no better way to promote European literature and values in Serbia. Raquel Martinez-Gomez Sombras de unicornio and Viktor Horvat Török tükör both won EU Prize for Literature. Ada Murolo, with her novel Il mare de Palizzi, was awarded Rhegium Julii – Sezione Opera Prima prize for 2013, as well as Il Mulinello – special prize of the jury. Patrik Ouředník, with his internationally successful novel Ad Acta, is the most translated Czech writer in the last 25 years. He was awarded the Czech Literary Fund Award. Emil Hakl (1958) is widely recognized as one of the most remarkable writers of Czech literature and is often compared to the great Czech writer Bohumil Hrabal. He was awarded the prestigious Magnesia Litera Prize for O rodičích a dětech. Jonathans Trigell’s novel Boy A won the Waverton Award of 2004, later that year John Llewellyn Rhys Prize and Italian Edoardo Kihlgren Prize. Also, he achived big commercial success which is crowned by a movie adaptation. Franncisco José Viegas is winner of the Portuguese Writers’ Association’s Grand Prize in 2005 with his novel Longe de Manaus.
