BookWorld - Ten Years
Svět knihy, Ltd. - Company of the Association of Czech Booksellers and Publishers (ACBP) - has been an active participant
in the Czech book market for the past six years and is currently
preparing the 10th international book fair in Prague.
In the year 1995 Prague hosted two parallel book fairs - the one
organised by the re-established Association of Czech Booksellers and Publishers attracted numerous visitors, earning the
new BookWorld book fair a deserved place on the Czech book
scene.
The year 1996 was dedicated to Austrian writers, and the French
Institute organised a valuable exposition of the F.X. Šalda
translation support programme, set in a Cyrano de Bergerac
stage design. While still experiencing some growing pains,
the visitors’ response to the book fair was encouraging.
Book World ‘97 featured Finland as its guest of honour, supported
by a rich and varied accompanying programme. It had attracted
over 700 companies and the qualitative jump in its organisation
still makes it one of BookWorld’s most successful years to date.
In that same year ACBP founded Svět knihy, Ltd., which
became its „commercial“ tool in the field of promoting Czech
publishers and literature.
In 1998 BookWorld’s guest of honour had been Israel. The book
fair played host to a large number of writers and its accompanying programme spread to several Prague venues. Having
attracted permanent awareness of both Czech and foreign
professional public, it started to appear in international book
event calendars.
In 1999 the book fair’s guest was France; the year 2000 had
welcomed Wallonie-Bruxelles. Focusing on literature in the
French language, both these years offered a wide range of pro-

grammes and the interest in books in French had exceeded all
expectations. BookWorld 2000 was listed as part of the Prague
– European City of Culture Project, having presented expositions of the 9 cities boasting that title.
In 2001 the focus had been on Switzerland and Prague played
host to the Literature Across Frontiers conference, attended
by distinguished guests from both Europe and the USA.
As the emphasis was placed on literature in minority
languages, Switzerland served as a prime example of linguistic
„tolerance“.
In 2002 the central exposition had been devoted to a collective
presentation of the Visegrad states – Poland, Hungary, Slovakia
and the Czech Republic, with the main topic being programmes
for the support of translations.
The entire continent of Africa became the main topic of the
recently ended BookWorld 2003. Attractive programme, great
guests, enthusiastic visitors. This show of African literature
resulted in the biggest number of new translations of works
from the guest territory into Czech in the entire history of the
book fair.
None of this would be possible without co-operation from
numerous Czech and foreign institutions, partner organisations,
support from exhibitors, the ministry of culture, ministry
of foreign affairs, city of Prague, media partners.
The organising ACBP and the BookWorld team would like
to express their gratitude to all its partners and look forward
to meeting their friends and business partners at the 10th
Prague BookWorld 2004 on 6 – 9 May 2004.
Many successes to you all.

Henry Bogdan: The History of the Hapsburgs
Seven Centuries of the House of Hapsburgs
For almost seven centuries the Hapsburgs were among the ruling houses of Europe.
Author of the book - a renowned French historian - presents a colourful portrayal of the lives
of various members of the Hapsburg family, while at the same time conjuring up a clear picture
of European history in the centuries when, to a significant extent, it bore the Hapsburg influence.
Having provided the necessary context for the events and personalities featured in the book,
the author plays these individual acts against the historical background, offering its readers
a very vivid picture, complete with numerous interesting details added for fun and enjoyment.

Tomáš Koutek: Bohemian Town Gates
Historic Reminiscences
If we were to imagine a medieval town, its silhouette would no doubt include a church tower,
the tall and narrow gables of Gothic and early Renaissance houses and also the town’s
fortification, of which town gates formed an integral part. In the town’s fortification system the
point of entry always represented the weakest point and was subject to a very careful design.
As a result, the passage through any town gate was protected by a highly intricate system
of moats and bastions. In its time each gate adopted a highly individual form,
used by the town to boast its significance and wealth. The author of this unique book
will guide the readers through eighty of Czech history’s most remarkable town gates.

Essential Facts
about the Czech Book Market in the Year 2002
Book Production
In 2002, as in previous years, the book production in the Czech
Republic manifested great dynamics despite the disastrous
floods that have hit the state’s capital, which also boasts the
dominant position in the country in terms of books. The number of published titles was very close to that of the year
before, when it had reached a record height. In the year 2002,
the National Library of the Czech Republic has registered,
based on the number of submitted deposit copies, a total
of 14 278 titles of non-periodical publications, consisting
of 11 915 books and 2363 brochures, i.e. publications of up to
42 pages. 12 625 of these were first editions (10 412 books and
2213 brochures), the rest were re-editions. These data copy
the trends of the year 2001.
undermining the claim that similar development is taking
place here - i.e. that the Czech publishing sector is increasingly concentrated, as indicated by the statistics from previous years (in 2000, for example, the number had reached 1300,
with less than 1150 a year later) - the decisive share of Czech
book production still lay in the hands of only several dozen
publishers of non-periodical publications. In 2002 only 35 entities produced more than 100 titles, including university and
state institution publishers, without which the number would
further narrow down to about 20. Last year these leading
twenty publishers were responsible for approximately one
quarter of the total Czech book production. Their share is
even higher in terms of book impressions.
Absolute numbers regarding the number of book titles published in the year 2002 still prove that dropping average
impressions are compensated for on the part of Czech publishers by publishing a large number of titles, in order to maintain the existing levels of financial turnover (see TABLE I).

By 31 December 2002 the number of publishers or entities
authorised to produce non-periodic publications in the Czech
Republic was 3267 (see TABLE II), while 1259 publishing houses have participated on last year’s total book production in
the Czech Republic by publishing at least one book title. Compared with the previous year this represents a 5% increase,
which could mean some publishing houses have renewed
their activity, but is more likely the result of the activities of
newly registered entities.
The publishing of books in the Czech Republic clearly involves
a greater number of publishing entities than is the case in
countries that have enjoyed uninterrupted natural development,
resulting in a more profiled and concentrated group of book
producers. Nonetheless, despite these numbers seemingly
TABLE III lists the main producers on the territory of the
Czech Republic according to the number of published book
titles in the year 2002. While this somewhat mechanical criterion does offer us some valuable and interesting insight and
enables us to get at least an approximate picture of the companies’ turnover, at the same time it tells us nothing about the
quality and level of excellence of these books. Unfortunately,
this type of data also fails to deliver other important information, such as the total book impressions or profits made by the
companies in question, which would provide for a more accurate assessment of the publishers’ real position and share of
the Czech book market. Such complex data, however, are still
unavailable.
Given the specific nature of university and state institution
publishers (usually characterised by a large number of highly
thematic titles at relatively low impressions), these entities
are featured in a separate table (TABLE IV). The annual number of published titles, decisive for the publishers’ position in
both these tables, does not include reprints, and only features
titles with new ISBN .

Translations
In 2002 translations constituted approximately a third of the
total Czech book production, which still makes the Czech
Republic, alongside e.g. the Baltic states or Hungary, count
among the highest-producing countries in the world (to compare the “incomparable”: in Great Britain the share of translations on the total book production has amounted to about
2-3% in recent years). Very little has changed in terms of
quantity. A total of 4342 translated titles has been published,
331 of which were translations of multilingual publications
(compared with 4352 / 429 the year before). Last year Czech
publishers have offered the readers translations from a total
of 44 languages.

only submitted after the work is complete.
Structure of Book Production
The structure of the Czech book production has not changed
to any significant degree in the past several years. Books in
Czech have once again been dominant in Czech Republic’s
book production - amounting to almost 90% (12 826 titles in
absolute numbers). Another 468 titles published in 2002 were
in Czech combined with another language; 172 titles were
multilingual. In the foreign-language production of Czech
publishers, English clearly dominated once again: 466 titles
were published in English, 148 titles in German, 24 in French.
Compared with the year 2001, the National Library of the
Czech Republic has registered a significant increase in the
number of titles in Slovak (108 titles compared with 43 in the
previous year) and a decline in the Polish language production (9 titles compared with 23 the year before). Among other
languages registered last year were e.g. 4 books in Dutch,
2 in Japanese and Esperanto, one title in Chinese, Classical
Greek, Old Slavonic and Ukrainian. The range of untraditional
languages has narrowed compared with previous years,
while at the same time registering a decrease in quantity.
The share of fiction in last year’s total book production in the
Czech Republic has amounted to 25 % (3605 titles) - a slight
drop compared with the year before. In children’s literature,
on the other hand, the continuous increase in the number of
published titles has been maintained. This increase has
become especially visible in the structure of the Czech book
production within the past several years. In absolute figures
the amount of 586 titles has been reached (with 575 children’s titles published in 2001). The share of children’s literature on the total book production has remained practically
unchanged. Once again it amounted to approximately 4%.
The share of school and university textbooks has slightly
exceeded 11% (1578 titles); in comparison with the year
before it is a small decrease both share-wise and in
absolute numbers (12% or 1750 titles in the year 2001). The
comparison of these data in the past five years is shown in

The three most often translated languages have remained
the same since 1990. English is still dominant, with more
than half of all published translations originating in English
(close to 54%). Despite a long-term drop, translations from
German have more or less retained the position from the
previous year. French has once again registered third at
some distance.
A dynamic growth in the quantity of translated titles has
occurred in Slovak (having grown almost fourfold). Also the
number of translations from Russian has practically doubled.
Polish too has scored among the most often translated
Slavonic languages in the Czech Republic last year. Translations from other Slavonic languages, on the other hand,
remain quite infrequent in the long term, with the total
amount having changed very little, usually reaching about
20 titles each year. In 2002 4 works have been translated
from Slovene and Serbian, 3 from Croatian, 2 from Bulgarian
and 1 from Ukrainian.
Languages of other major cultural regions, translations from
which were the most numerous on Czech book shelves in
the year 2002, included Italian (59 published titles) and Spanish (32 published titles). It can be said that the situation was
very similar to that of the previous year, with 64 translations
from Italian and 38 from Spanish. Works translated from the
Dutch (27 titles) and Scandinavian languages (Swedish:
10 titles, Norwegian: 8 titles, Danish and Finnish: each with
6 titles) have also scored relatively strongly in last year’s
Czech book production. Compared with the year 2001 there
has been a steep decline in the number of translations from
classical languages such as Latin (4 titles compared with 18)
and Classical Greek (2 titles compared with 13). TABLE VI
shows a quantification of translations from selected languages in the course of the past five years.

Summary
Available information concerning publishing activities in the
Czech Republic in the past year confirm that books - despite
objective problems and obstacles (floods, small book market) and subjective complaints and lamentations of most of
the Czech book market’s top players - still count among
important cultural activities in the Czech Republic. This fact
is supported by international statistics, which place the
Czech Republic among the top 15 countries in the world
regarding the number of published titles, with a place in the
elite 10 where the number of published titles per 10 000
inhabitants is concerned.

is the pen name of an author born
into a countryside teacher’s family. She studied Czech, German,
physics and mathematics and
after a short spell as a teacher of
German at a conservatory in Brno
during the war she worked at
a remote one-form schools in the
Beskydy mountains. Deemed
politically unreliable, she was
often forced to move from one
school to another. Her teaching
career lasted for over forty years.
The parts of Wallachia and Moravian Slovakia called Kopanice
have for a long time become the
main source of inspiration for her
balladic and at the same time
naturalist stories. In the sixties
she co-operated with the Brnobased Host do domu magazine
and her radio play was awarded
the Prix Bohemia in the early
1990s. In 2001 she made her stunning debut on the Czech literary
scene.
Author of prose fiction and
screenplays, she graduated from
a secondary school of glass-making and went on to study Czech
and art education at Charles
University, Prague. She was
employed as an editor in the Svoboda and Český spisovatel publishing houses. In the 1990s she
ran a creative writing seminar
with Josef Škvorecký at a private

(1970)
(1972)
Novelist, essayist, and columnist
Ludvík Vaculík was originally
trained as a shoemaker and factory worker. After taking a degree
in journalism from the School of
Political and Social Sciencies he
became a warden in an apprentices‘ dormitory, and then an editor at Czechoslovak Radio before
moving on to Literární noviny. Of
his provocative newspaper
columns his „Two-thousand
Words” manifesto met with
greatest response. Vaculík was
persecuted by the authorities in
the 1970s when he founded
a samizdat series called Petlice
(which eventually comprised
about 400 books) and signed
Charter 77. From the late 1960s till
the changes of 1989 he was not
permitted to publish in the regular, state-owned publishing houses. In 1996 he received the Order
of Tomáš Masaryk.
Studied at the Jaroslav Ježek
Academy, specialising in lyrics
writing, with extra two years of
drama at the same school.
Since 1980 he worked as a window-dresser, librarian, petrol station mechanic and sound engineer. Between 1995 - 2000 he
composed texts for various
advertising agencies. In 2001 he
worked as an editor in the literary
biweekly Tvar and currently earns
his living as a journalist.
In the eighties he was focusing on
writing verse and preparing and
staging drama adaptations of literary works with various amateur
ensembles. By the end of the
1980s and beginning of the
1990s he became one of the cofounders of the Modern Illiterate
free literary association, which
later attracted the collaboration
of numerous other authors. He
started writing prose in 1998 and
has not stopped since.
His works have been published
in the Iniciály, Týden, Tvar,
Aluze, Salon magazines, the
Hospodářské noviny daily supplement, the Moderní analfabet
(Modern Illiterate) revue, Dobrá
adresa internet magazine and
a number of anthologies. His
poetry and prose have also been
broadcasted by the radio. He is
represented in the Anthologie de
la poésie tchéque contemporaine
1945-2000 (Gallimard, Paris 2002).
Having graduated from the Jan
Kepler Grammar School in Prague
he did not finish his studies at the
department of Czech studies of
the Charles University Arts Faculty. Since 1992 he was the editor of
the Prague revue for Christianity
and culture Souvislosti and has
worked as a proof reader in the
Dnes daily, fiction editor in Nakladatelství Lidové noviny publishing
house, headed the Art and Critique supplement of the Lidové
noviny daily and also worked as
an editor in Literární noviny. He
currently earns his living as
a freelance writer and poetry
translator. His poems have been
published in German and Italian,
English and French translations
are due to be published soon.
Following his studies at the
Turnov grammar school he pursued further academic career in
Liberec, Prague, Zurich and Berlin. A graduated teacher of German and history, he was earning
his living performing various professions - a Czech brewery’s
advertising agent in Germany,
baker in the Alps, hotel porter, DJ
and sound engineer in a rock
club, manager of a punk band,
teacher, bricklayer and dairy shop
assistant. Currently he is the editor of the Právo daily culture supplement. His works include short
stories, poetry and song lyrics. He
collects old railway timetables
and maps. In 2001-2002 he lived in
Berlin on a journalist scholarship
from the Free University and is
currently recording a debut novel
entitled “Heaven under Berlin”.
He is also collaborating with the
painter Jaromír 99 on his next
book - an original black & white
comic book from the Sudentenland, to be published under the
title “The White Brook”. As an
editor he is compiling a reader of
contemporary German literature.
