prix du meilleur livre étranger

The Prix du Meilleur Livre Étranger (Best Foreign Book Prize) is a French literary prize created in 1948. It is awarded yearly in two categories: Novel and Essay for books translated into French. Since 2011, the prize has been supported by Sofitel (a luxury hotel brand), and the winners are traditionally announced and honored in November. The prize aims to celebrate the richness and diversity of global literary voices and introduce French readers to exceptional works from around the world.
