The latest addition to Glagoslav's list is The Food Block by Alexei Ivanov. Skilfully translated into English by Richard Coombes, this is a book about a small pioneer camp on the banks of the Volga during the Moscow Olympics in 1980. Life in the quirky gingerbread cake buildings of the camp establishes its rhythms against the backdrop of the Volga’s ceaseless flow and the sunset’s daily blush over the Zhiguli mountains. But something, or someone, is at work. Something that no one except twelve-year-old Valerka can see for what it is.

Expertise in Slavic and European languages and literatures, extensive experience in international publishing, and a deep appreciation of the histories and cultures of both Western and Eastern Europe enable us to offer English-speaking readers throughout the world access to important works that deserve an audience beyond their native lands. We seek out books from Slavic countries that represent different ethnic communities of these regions and play an important part in our common cultural, literary and intellectual heritage, and promote a better understanding of this intriguing but often misunderstood part of the Eurasian continent.

The primary focus of Glagoslav Publications is to bring out translations that embody values that are uniquely Slavic in nature and celebrate universal values as reflected in diverse cultural demographics of Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and other nations in the region. Every book that we publish has already achieved an engaged readership in its native land, has been recognized by international critics, and, in many cases, has either received or been short-listed for prestigious national and international awards.

Currently Glagoslav Publications has launched an entire series of previously untranslated fiction and non-fiction titles and republications of translations that deserve the attention of international readers with an interest in Eastern Europe.
