During the recent Opole book festival, Andrzej Sapkowski, the acclaimed author of the The Witcher saga, confirmed that he plans to write more books within this literary universe. This news comes as a relief to the followers of Geralt of Rivia, who have been eagerly awaiting new installments. Sapkowski assured: “I will write something more. Don’t worry. You don’t have to be concerned.” This statement underscores his commitment to readers, in contrast to other figures in the genre like George R.R. Martin, who has not published the continuation of The Winds of Winter since 2011.
We have The Witcher for a while
The Polish author also spoke about the responsibility of adapting literary works, expressing his discontent with the adaptations that have preceded the publication of new books. In recent statements, Sapkowski indicated that he would understand if Martin felt discouraged after his work was adapted, which underscores the complexities of the creative process in literature.
However, the situation of The Witcher books in Spain presents unique challenges. In the country, the saga is out of print, generating increasing frustration among fans. The publisher Alamut Bibliopolis, responsible for the Spanish rights, is currently in complex negotiations to renew those rights. According to the publisher, this process has taken several years, leaving fans waiting for a solution to make the books available again.
As a result of this lack of reprints, the books have disappeared from bookstores and those available in the resale market have seen their prices rise, which has generated concern among fans of the saga. Alamut plans to reissue the titles once the rights situation is resolved, so fans should be patient and optimistic about the future of The Witcher in Spanish.
