Recs if you like When Death Takes Something from You Give It Back...

A collection of Danish classics that have mostly been translated into English. I oriented myself mainly with a list provided by Gyldendal. This list is far from finished. If you know of any Danish book, that is considered a classic, that I missed, just leave a comment.

Acclaimed or well known books from Scandinavia. Only works that have been translated to English. General vibes are dark, depressive books, some fairytales and crime novels.

all longlisted books from 2018-2026

A list with ALL longlisted titles from the National Book Award for Translated Literature (USA) and the International Booker prize (UK) .

Updated once new nominees are announced.

Currently updated with: • NBA 2018-2025 • International Booker 2016-2026
