Michael Tate on Czech roots, Prague – and the serendipitous birth of Jantar Publishing

Description

Michael Tate runs Jantar Publishing, a UK-based firm that issues works in translation, frequently from Czechia. Among the small publishing house’s best-selling titles are a handsome edition of the classic Kytice by Karel Jaromír Erben and, more recently, Winterberg’s Last Journey by Jaroslav Rudiš. I spoke to Tate about Jantar’s development since he founded it in 2011, but also about his own Czech roots and years in Prague.
