Fiction in Translation

Translated fiction is any fiction novel, poetry or text that was originally written in one language and converted to another. Rather than simply replacing the words, translated literature aims to preserve the meaning behind the story which means that it may not be a complete word-for-word translation. You may have read translated fiction in the past without even realizing! Some bestselling translated fiction includes A Man Called Ove, Butter, If Cats Disappeared from the World, We Do Not Part, and Heart Lamp. Additional popular translated fiction includes Nobel Prize Winner The Vegetarian, bestselling novel When the Cranes Fly South, popular Japanese fiction title The Man Who Died Seven Times, and the French novel Mona's Eyes
