   In the period 26th – 27th June this year Leeds hosted its first cross-cultural book fair for independent publishers, bookshops and authors.  The theme of the fair in its first edition is “Worldwide and Alternative literature”. The fair aims at bringing together various literary cultures, focusing on translation. Studies show that only 4, 5 % of world literature is translated into English.

   In the frame of the programme the young translator PetyaYankova presented Lora Lazar’s works. In preparation for her thesis she had translated parts of Lora Lazar’s “The Cursed Goblet”. Those parts formed the basis of her research titled “The Balance of Translation”. PetyaYankova’s presentation took place in the Arch Café, Leeds on 27th June.

Publishing house "Trud" and Lora Lazar would like to invite you to the presentation of the novel "Heavens of Sin” on 5th October (Friday), at 18:00 pm in club "Bedroom", National Assembly Square, 3, Sofia.

The novel will be presented by Dr. Elka Drosneva – a history professor at Sofia University "St. Kliment Ohridski".


Lora Lazar and her audience would enjoy the young voices of “Voiceland”, one of the most recent and original Bulgarian bands singing a cappella. Mixing different styles, magic and contemporary sound, the young group promises a pleasant evening.

“Heavens of Sin” is Lora Lazar’s third novel. Following the success of her crime novels "The Cursed Goblet" ("ERA", 2011) and "The Sinful Neighbourhood" ("Iztok-Zapad", 2012), Lora Lazar’s newest work transcends the limitation of the genre. Dealing with broad and provocative subject areas, the novel spans across a series of events and characters in Bulgarian history from the last century.
