Andrzej Sapkowski, the renowned author of the The Witcher saga, has revealed that he is working on a new book, an announcement that has captured the attention of fans and critics alike.During his participation in the Brussels Book Fair on March 27, Sapkowski, known for his frankness, chose not to disclose details about the plot, but his presence at the event was notable for his reflections on the state of reading in Poland.
A more than reasonable price
At a press conference, the novelist expressed his concern about the low reading rate in his country and suggested that an affordable price for books could be key to revitalizing this situation. In his opinion, no novel should cost more than 4.66 euros, a figure he considered an affordable threshold for the general public. This approach could facilitate access to literature, especially to encourage interest among young readers.
Interestingly, the fantasy genre, to which his notable work belongs, seems to be safe from the crisis, as it maintains a loyal and committed audience. Despite this optimism, it is ironic that Sapkowski issues these recommendations while the situation in Spain regarding the reissue of his books is alarming. The current problems have generated uncertainty among the followers of Geralt of Rivia, who hope that the situation will be resolved so they can fully enjoy his novels.
On the other hand, the translator of The Witcher has shared that the delays in the availability of the books in Spanish are a consequence of contractual obligations that have complicated the reissue. This background adds a layer of complexity to the popularity and accessibility of the series in the Spanish-speaking market.
