What is ‘Pluh’?
Pluh is a literary agency specialised in Czech literature and is run by translators Edgar de Bruin and Magda Hüblová. We are leading in terms of representing Czech authors. Over the years we have done do business all over the world and have since completed more than four hundred book translations in over 40 countries. We value the literary quality of the novels of our authors and are convinced that they can enrich literature abroad. All our authors have been awarded with literary prizes on one or more occasions, so we are convinced that we have the best of Czech literature to offer.
(The name Pluh is Czech for “Plough”, and is pronounced like the Dutch word “Ploeg”, which also means plough.).
