“Golden Sands” de Katerina Poladjan: Premio de la Feria del Libro de Leipzig 2026

We are absolutely thrilled that Katarina Poladjan‘s novel “Golden Sands” was honoured with one of Germany’s most prestigious literary awards, recognizing her outstanding contribution to contemporary literature.

This win cements Katerina Poladjan‘s status as a major international voice, following her recent Marie Luise Kaschnitz Prize and the Grand Prize of the German Literary Fund.

A run-down villa in Rome, a mysterious dottoressa, a film director on a couch narrating the story of his life: in her new novel Poladjan pieces together fragments of old Europe to create a cheerful yet melancholic picture of the present day.
