Przekłady polskie na norweskim rynku wydawniczym w latach 2008–2024. Rekonesans
Polish Translations in the Norwegian Publishing Market in the Years 2008–2024. A Reconnaissance

Summary/Abstract: This article deals with a so far undescribed publishing period (2008–2024) of translations from Polish into Norwegian. It deepens the understanding of historical and contemporary publishing trends and indicates the reasons for their occurrence by grouping and characterising the items published during this period. It shows the persistence of publishing trends towards the publication of Witold Gombrowicz, the disappearance of interest in the reportages of Ryszard Kapuściński and the growth of interest in the works of Olga Tokarczuk, Andrzej Sapkowski and Berenika Kolomycka. The author discusses the unsuccessful attempt to introduce Polish detective stories to the Norwegian market – the case of Marek Krajewski’s books; he describes the unexpected trend of publishing Polish literature written in the period around the Second World War (Zofia Nałkowska, Krzysztof Kamil Baczyński, Witold Pilecki). The aim of the text is, among other things, bibliographic accommodation and guidance for further research for subsequent researchers. Furthermore, the text characterises the Norwegian market, conditioned by the level of readership. It presents the historical development of interest in Polish literature in Norway. It distinguishes translators historically and contemporarily important for the development of interest in Polish literature in Bokmål and Nynorsk (Ole Michael Selberg, Jan Brodal, Agnes Banach, Anna Walseng, Julia Więdłocha, Knut Andreas Grimstad, Knut Inge Andersen). It arranges the prizes awarded to Polish translators and forecasts the chances for further interest in Polish literature.
