Rand (iterate) | 99 comments Based out of the UK and the Netherlands, this publisher translates new and classic works by Slavic authors into both Dutch and English for the world at large. Started in 2011 and already has a respectable catalog.

IF you're curious what's going on in contemporary Slavic literature, this is who to buy from. Of particular interest: 1) their nonfiction Andrei Tarkovsky The Collector of Dreams, about that director's final film The Sacrifice and 2) Sin, a six-year old bestselling Novel-in-Stories that seems to be the Book To Read If You Want to UnderStand Mother Russia Today.

(Glagoslav also publishes historical and modern thrillers, detective books and some biographies)

They will consider both manuscripts & published works in Russian, Ukrainian, and Belarusian. A truly cosmopolitan enterprise, Glagoslav welcomes ALL contact in any of the following languages: Russian, Ukrainian, English, Dutch, French, and German. Their website says you will receive a prompt reply.

First heard of them when I won a copy of The Sarabande of Sara's Band (winner of a Ukrainian Book Prize) via a giveaway on that other bookish social media site. For some reason I thought that that book was published by Sarabande Books but that seems to not be the case. I am still awaiting that title's arrival in the next two weeks.

Also, they are on goodreads.

& their name stems from two Slavic words: "Glagolitsa (Глаго́лица) or Glagolitic – the first Slavic alphabet, and Slavyanye (Славя́не) or Slavs – the largest ethnolinguistic group in Europe."
