Source: National ISBN Agency 10 > news autumn <strong>2003</strong> / spring 2004 Structure of Book Production The structure of the Czech book production has not changed to any significant degree in the past several years. Books in Czech have once again been dominant in Czech Republic’s book production - amounting to almost 90% (12 826 titles in absolute numbers). Another 468 titles published in 2002 were in Czech combined with another language; 172 titles were multilingual. In the foreign-language production of Czech publishers, English clearly dominated once again: 466 titles were published in English, 148 titles in German, 24 in French. Compared with the year 2001, the National Library of the Czech Republic has registered a significant increase in the number of titles in Slovak (108 titles compared with 43 in the previous year) and a decline in the Polish language production (9 titles compared with 23 the year before). Among other languages registered last year were e.g. 4 books in Dutch, 2 in Japanese and Esperanto, one title in Chinese, Classical Greek, Old Slavonic and Ukrainian. The range of untraditional languages has narrowed compared with previous years, while at the same time registering a decrease in quantity. The share of fiction in last year’s total book production in the Czech Republic has amounted to 25 % (3605 titles) - a slight drop compared with the year before. In children’s literature, on the other hand, the continuous increase in the number of published titles has been maintained. This increase has become especially visible in the structure of the Czech book production within the past several years. In absolute figures the amount of 586 titles has been reached (with 575 children’s titles published in 2001). The share of children’s literature on the total book production has remained practically unchanged. Once again it amounted to approximately 4%. The share of school and university textbooks has slightly exceeded 11% (1578 titles); in comparison with the year before it is a small decrease both share-wise and in absolute numbers (12% or 1750 titles in the year 2001). The comparison of these data in the past five years is shown in TABLE V. TABLE V Comparison of the Number of Published Titles According to Selected Types of Literature between 1998-2002 2002 2001 2000 1999 1998 Fiction 3 605 3 726 3 281 3 562 3 432 Children’s Books 586 575 579 525 400 School & University Textbooks 1 578 1 750 1 400 1 549 1 676 Source: National Library of the Czech Republic Translations In 2002 translations constituted approximately a third of the total Czech book production, which still makes the Czech Republic, alongside e.g. the Baltic states or Hungary, count among the highest-producing countries in the world (to compare the “incomparable”: in Great Britain the share of translations on the total book production has amounted to about 2-3% in recent years). Very little has changed in terms of quantity. A total of 4342 translated titles has been published, 331 of which were translations of multilingual publications (compared with 4352 / 429 the year before). Last year Czech publishers have offered the readers translations from a total of 44 languages. The three most often translated languages have remained the same since 1990. English is still dominant, with more than half of all published translations originating in English (close to 54%). Despite a long-term drop, translations from German have more or less retained the position from the previous year. French has once again registered third at some distance. A dynamic growth in the quantity of translated titles has occurred in Slovak (having grown almost fourfold). Also the number of translations from Russian has practically doubled. Polish too has scored among the most often translated Slavonic languages in the Czech Republic last year. Translations from other Slavonic languages, on the other hand, remain quite infrequent in the long term, with the total amount having changed very little, usually reaching about 20 titles each year. In 2002 4 works have been translated from Slovene and Serbian, 3 from Croatian, 2 from Bulgarian and 1 from Ukrainian. Languages of other major cultural regions, translations from which were the most numerous on Czech book shelves in the year 2002, included Italian (59 published titles) and Spanish (32 published titles). It can be said that the situation was very similar to that of the previous year, with 64 translations from Italian and 38 from Spanish. Works translated from the Dutch (27 titles) and Scandinavian languages (Swedish: 10 titles, Norwegian: 8 titles, Danish and Finnish: each with 6 titles) have also scored relatively strongly in last year’s Czech book production. Compared with the year 2001 there has been a steep decline in the number of translations from classical languages such as Latin (4 titles compared with 18) and Classical Greek (2 titles compared with 13). TABLE VI shows a quantification of translations from selected languages in the course of the past five years.

This fact is supported by international statistics, which place the Czech Republic among the top 15 countries in the world regarding the number of published titles, with a place in the elite 10 where the number of published titles per 10 000 inhabitants is concerned.
