In 33 years, the initiative has published Brazilian works in 45 languages

The Brazilian National Library Foundation (FBN) is launching a programme to support the translation and publication of Brazilian authors abroad. This is reported by Toda Palavra, a partner of TV BRICS.

The programme will provide US$1 million to publishers who want to translate and publish books by Brazilian authors in other languages.

Applications will be accepted until 6 October 2024.

For example, the programme, which has been in existence for 33 years, has helped publish more than 1,200 Brazilian books in 45 languages.

Financial support is provided in two stages: the first installment is paid after the contract is signed, and the second after the translated book is published.

The aim of the programme is to increase access to Brazilian literature abroad and to promote the national literary heritage.
