Isabel Stainsby: My parents said, “We forbid you from studying Czech” – Don’t say that to a teenager
Update: 2025-06-18
Description
Isabel Stainsby is the translator of a gripping memoir by Roma journalist Patrik Banga, which has just been launched in English under the title The True Way Out. Stainsby, who lives in Scotland, first developed an interest in the Czech language – and this country – in her teens. We discussed her work as a translator, love of Czech castles and more after the presentation of the book in Prague.
