About us

Austeria Publishing House (based in Kraków, 6 Szeroka st.) offers the most valuable books related to Jewish subjects as well as  European literature , books translated into Polish from English, French, Italian, German,  Hungarian, Yiddish or Hebrew . In the Jewish section it offers the whole Hebrew Tanach translated from Hebrew into Polish by Izaak Cylkow as well as books from the Yiddish culture by Sholem Alejchem, Kalman Segal or Icchok Perec. Among the books translated from Hebrew one may find also contemporary literature such as plays by Hanoch Levin or Savyon Liebrecht.

Austeria can also boast of the translations from French works by Edmond Jabes, Saint – John Perse or Julien Gracq;  from Italian collections of selected poems by Primo Levi, Alda Merini, Sandro Penna, Salvatore Quasimodo, Giuseppe Ungaretti and Valerio Magrelli; from Hungarian books by Andràs Pàlyi or Géza Röhring. In the field of the Italian literature we have been cooperating with the Institute of the Italian Culture in Kraków with whom, a few years ago, we started a series of Italian poetry collections entitled I quaderni di Grodzka.

In 2021 Austeria was rewarded with a prize by the Polish magazine “Literatura na świecie” (“Literature in the World”) for the publication in Polish of  the series of books by Joseph Roth.

In the same year The European Solidarity Centre in Gdańsk granted Austeria the title of the Ambassador of the New Europe.
