Welcome to Pluh

This website is currently under construction. We are working on a new website

Pluh is a leading literary agency in the representation of Czech authors, having made more than 300 successful transactions for book publishing rights in over thirty countries. We pride ourselves on the literary quality of the novels we offer and firmly believe that they can enrich literature abroad. With many of our authors having been awarded numerous literary prizes, we are confident in claiming that we bring the very best that contemporary Czech literature has to offer.

We take on the role of facilitating interactions between authors and foreign publishers so as to ensure that their work finds its way to readers abroad. Pluh holds the exclusive rights for the representation of all authors listed on this website, with the exception of of Egon Hostovský, one of the great names in Czech literature, whose rights of representation we are licenced to sell.

Patrik Ouředník, one of the authors we represent, is the most widely translated Czech author since 1989, with his book Europeana having been translated into more than thirty languages. Many of our other authors have been translated into upwards of ten languages as well. While the authors and books represented by Pluh are some of modern Czech literatures finest, we can also claim one of the great Czech classical authors, Egon Hostovský, as our own. In summation, the quality of our authors' work is such that we are confident that it can carve out a place for itself abroad.
