This diversity must be preserved, so that it can bear fruit for the common good.' At a time when geopolitical shocks are testing our continent, preserving this rich diversity is more vital than ever. Across Europe, the cultural sector is at the forefront of ensuring that the fruit Delors spoke of continues to grow - rooted in our shared values. The European Union Prize for Literature is a celebration of this cultural richness - an embodiment of diversity serving the common good. It is an honour to present this anthology featuring the 13 shortlisted authors of this year. This Creative Europe initiative continues to build the profiles of European writers, introducing their work to new audiences, while preserving each author's unique voice. The translations, publishing and promotion facilitated by the Prize allow new cultural conversations to start and foster greater understanding. The European literary scene creates a space for discourse and exchange, ultimately reinforcing the democratic values upon which the European Union is founded. In 2025, we begin a new three-year cycle of the European Union Prize for Literature, during which we will recognise and promote 40 emerging writers from across the 40 Creative Europe countries. 9789268263471 9789268263471 184 S., Illustrationen (farbig)
