I’m really happy with my results for literature in translation. Eleven languages were represented by 24 books. Here is the breakdown by original language:
Japanese (5)
French (4)
Hungarian (4)
Icelandic (2)
Norwegian (2)
Russian (2)
German (1)
Chinese (1)
Italian (1)
Swedish (1)
Spanish (1)
The list below is by author nationality. If a book is set in a different country, it is noted. Also, some of the authors have moved from their original country, and if known, that is also indicated. Twenty-one countries were represented by 75 different books. I didn’t count the US authors at the bottom of the list in the totals, but I did note the settings of those books just for general interest.
But you, beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life. (Jude 1:20-21, ESV)
