The Dictionary of Slovak Literary Translators of the 20th Century, L–Ž is the second part of a work that through the portraits of almost four hundred translators and their selected bibliographies brings an integral picture of the greater part of works of world literature translated and published in Slovakia in the 20th century. It informs not only about important figures of literary translation, but at the same time documents the key function played by literary translation in Slovak culture both in the past and present. Its complexity makes it a kind of history of Slovak reception of world literature.
