Set up in 1991 in Bucharest, OMONIA Publishing House has consistently pursued to promote the literature and civilization of modern Greece in Romania.
The 60-plus titles that cover most literary genres (novel, short story, poetry, essay, travel notes, literary criticism) account for more than half the translations from neo-Hellenic literature, published in Romania in the last 18 years.
The collection „Neo-Hellenic Literature Library”, inaugurated in 1999, offers Romanian readers major fiction and non-fiction works (history, philosophy, etc.).
Some 20 other titles represent major Romanian and foreign contributions to the research of Hellenism in Romania and of Romanian-Hellenic relations. Also present are books providing basic knowledge (biographic dictionaries, bibliographies) about the history of Neo-Hellenic literature. Four of these titles won, in 1994, 2000, 2004 and 2008 respectively, the most prestigious translation prize awarded in Greece.
Three more prizes (including one from the Romanian Academy) were rewarded in Romania the works of young Romanian Neo-Hellenists. OMONIA also acts as distributor of translations from neo-Hellenic literature issued by other publishers. Furthermore, OMONIA’s ambitious long-term programme is meant to mirror the most diverse aspects of a cultural space that has often intersected with the Romanian one.
