Summary/Abstract: Romanian literature in the Slovak context. In her paper, the author focuses on the reception of the Romanian literature after 1989, i.e. after the social and political changes occurred both in Romania and Slovakia which were of significant impact upon it, as the editorial policy, which had seen to regularity in translating from the so called “small” or ‘friendly’ literatures, ceased to exist, thus making translating ideologically independent and giving other literature than that of official or canon character its chance as well. In the first part the author introduced several factors which help create the reception environment and influence the ways of receiving a foreign author. The second part is devoted to commented introductions of particular book and magazine translations according to individual literary types and genres, and in chronological order.
