ANDRZEJ SAPKOWSKI

Andrzej Sapkowski has by now become one of the best-selling authors not just of Fantasy but of Polish fiction in general. His popularity, based on several volumes of stories and novels, and in particular the trilogy featuring the Vedymin Gerald of Rivia, has broken out beyond the confines of Fantasy fandom and entered Poland’s literary mainstream. This rare achievement has been recognised in the form of the prestigious Passport Prize for the unique contribution to Polish culture, awarded to him in December 1998 by Poland’s leading weekly POLITYKA. Already translated into several European languages, his work is still unknown on the English Fantasy and SF literary market.
