“It says a lot that English translations of Slovak classics are being published in the Czech capital, not in Slovakia.” That’s how Peter Darovec opened a discussion with representatives of Charles University’s Karolinum Press and Slovak translator Julia Sherwood.

Just before their public event, I sat down with Julia Sherwood, Martin Janeček, and Michael Stein from the publishing house to talk about why so-called ‘small nations’ still need to make their voices heard internationally.
