CZECH book world export catalogue news autumn 2003 / spring 2004 CZECH BOOK WORLD NEWS / Published by: Svět knihy, Ltd. – Company of the Association of Czech Booksellers and Publishers BookWorld – Ten Years > 3 Essential Facts about the Czech Book Market in the Year 2002 > 9 - 11 Czech Writers > 16 - 17 Subsidies for the Translation of Czech Literature > 21 - 22 and more … CZECH book world export catalogue 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- Content BookWorld – Ten Years > 3 Czech Publishers (paid ads) > 4 - 5 Bestsellers in Czech Bookshops (figures collected by ACBP) > 8 Essential Facts about the Czech Book Market in the Year 2002 > 9 - 11 Czech Writers > 16 - 17 Book the World with Book World > 18 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.

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.

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. F.

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). TABLE II Number of Publishers Registered in the Czech Republic between 1998-2002 TABLE I Number of Book Titles Published in the Czech Republic between 1998-2002 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2 582 2 745 2 898 3 136 3 267 Source: National ISBN Agency 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 11 738 12 551 11 965 14 321 14 278 Source: National Library of the Czech Republic 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 . autumn 2003 / spring 2004 news > 09 CZECH CZECH export catalogue export catalogue book world book world Essential Facts about the Czech Book Market in the Year 2002 Essential Facts about the Czech Book Market in the Year 2002 TABLE III Main Book Producers in the Czech Republic According to the Number of Titles Published in the Year 2002 (excluding university and state institutions publishers) 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. Production in 2001 and 2000 is featured for comparison. 1.

Information about a published title is 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 TABLE V. TABLE V Comparison of the Number of Published Titles According to Selected Types of Literature between 1998-2002 2002 Fiction 3 605 Children’s Books 586 School & University Textbooks 1 578 Source: National Library of the Czech Republic 2001 3 726 575 1 750 2000 1999 1998 3 281 3 562 3 432 579 525 400 1 400 1 549 1 676 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.

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.

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 secondary school bearing Škvorecký’s name. At present, Berková is the head of the Department of Creative Writing at the Literary Academy. Back in the second half of the 1980s she cofounded an informal literary group called ‚Hejno českých spisovatelů Mamut‘ ( A Flock of Czech Writer, Mammoth), which brought together nonconformist writers. In 1989 she helped to found the Czech Centre of the P.E.N. Club and the Community of Writers. She is also active in the feminist movement.

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.

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).
