„Polish literature, from its sheer quantity and innovative quality, undoubtedly deserves a place alongside the greatest, yet it has remained significantly less mainstream than its Russian or French counterparts, perhaps on account of the language barrier. However, outstanding translations of classics and contemporary successes have been steadily appearing over the last few years, offering book lovers a newfound chance to discover hidden treasures.

In order to guide English-speakers towards the authors best suited for specific tastes, Culture.pl has put together an exclusive guide offering historical context and tailor-made recommendations.“
