Italian Literature in Translation

“Italian Literature in Translation” is an original project by the Italian Cultural Institute in London,  launched in 2018 and aimed at introducing English-speaking readers to the great protagonists of contemporary Italian literature.

The project

Starting with the literary case of Elena Ferrante, over the last few years Italian literature has experienced a great success in the English-speaking world. The amount of translations has more than doubled, and authors who were only familiar to Italian literary experts have now started appearing in English bookshops.
It seems to us that this tendency is in line with a greater opening of the British publishing market towards European and international authors, also thanks to positive responses from literary critics and successful sales.
However, many important authors are still waiting to be ‘discovered’ by English readers. In these volumes you shall find a selection of extracts from novels by Italian authors that have yet to be translated into English, as well as the diversity of the experiences of Italian contemporary theatre writing, sometimes moving with great originality between theatre, high-end TV and cinema.
