From this year on, Schwob will be presenting a list of books each quarter, instead of bi-annually. The list of books will be a selection of recently translated and published (re)discovered classics in The Netherlands. Books that are promoted by Schwob are considered to have an excellent literary quality and are often relevant for the diversity of works available in the Dutch book market.

Now I would like to present the list of books that will be featured this year, with autumn still subject to change. Dutch names of the books will be followed by the original and English title (if available).
