· Database of published translations of Polish literature into English ·
Search and browse our database of existing translations in English of Polish prose and poetry.
Tab separated value file of database
The database comprises over 600 books, a number of which are now out of print or hard to obtain. In order to be as comprehensive as possible, nothing has been excluded, however minor. The data has been edited to eliminate all Polish characters to ensure that it is easily searchable. You should therefore replace “Ä…” with “a” and so on in your searches.
The search program can detect parts of words, so it is not necessary to be very exact.
As with any such database, it is in constant development. Please direct any queries to AG Leader .
