Bulgarian literature in German translation after 2010 – mediators and reception

Summary/Abstract: This article examines the presence of Bulgarian literature in the German-language literary field in the period 2010-2023 from the perspective of the sociology of literature and translation. After a brief historical overview of the translation of Bulgarian literature into German and using data from relevant sources on the volume of Bulgarian works translated into German during the period under study, the main actors in the mediation of Bulgarian literature on the German-language book market (publishers and translators) are analysed with regard to their role in the mediation process. The article also examines the extent to which literary and translation criticism and other forms of translation reception contribute to the visibility of Bulgarian literature in the German-speaking world.
