In so doing, it will help readers get a sense of the vast world beyond North America that is conveyed by fiction titles from dozens of countries and language traditions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWithin the guide, approximately 1,000 contemporary non-English-language fiction titles are fully annotated and thousands of others are listed.

In addition to contemporary titles, each chapter features a brief overview of earlier translated fiction from the group. The guide also provides in-depth bibliographic essays for each chapter that will enable librarians and library users to further explore the literature of numerous languages and cultural traditions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Juris Dilevko,Keren Dali,Glenda Garbutt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1591583535\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781591583530\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Libraries Unlimited\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/17\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 556\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.10w x 1.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2011 pg. 102\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2011 pg. 44\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2011 pg. 327","brand":"Juris Dilevko","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136817606911,"sku":"9781591583530","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e948050a-47d8-45f8-99e7-87e7323d5668.jpg?v=1770164722","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/contemporary-world-fiction-juris-dilevko-9781591583530","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
