Books are an essential part of cultural life, even in the digital age. The art of translation makes it possible for them to have an impact beyond the countries of their origin and to contribute to international cultural exchange. We present a selection of titles that have been translated from German into English over the past seven years. These books were all published with support from the Goethe-Institut's Translation Grant Program.
