Fostering the translation of contemporary Spanish literature into Portuguese 2014

The Programme for fostering the translation of contemporary Spanish literature into Portuguese is part of the “Culture /Spain Brazil” programme organised by AC/E during 2014/2015. Its purpose is to encourage the translation of contemporary Spanish authors into Portuguese by awarding grants to Brazilian publishers who apply for them. A number of Brazilian publishing companies that planned to bring out a book by a Spanish author between January 2014 and December 2015 have thus been granted support by AC/E, enabling the writer to travel to Brazil to perform promotional activities.

The proposals received were assessed by an advisory committee, which selected the following projects:
 - RECORD: Habitaciones cerradas. Care Santos (published in Spain by Planeta)
- COSAC NAIFY: El alfabeto de los pájaros. Nuria Barrios (published in Spain by Seix Barral)
- CASARAO DO VERBO: Técnicas de iluminación. Eloy Tizón (published in Spain by Páginas de Espuma).
