Speaks the Nightbird at Azbooka
Russian publisher Azbooka has released their translations of Swan Song and The Listener. They had previously released a translation of Boy’s Life in February. Swan Song was translated by Oleg Kolesnikov, while Andrey Tretyakov translated The Listener. The beautiful covers for both can be seen below. Swan Song has previously been published in Russia three times. This is the first Russian edition of The Listener.
Per a 2018 contract, Azbooka still holds the Russian translation rights for The Border and Speaks the Nightbird. Those will presumably be released later this year.
They have now also acquired the rights for They Thirst, Stinger, The Queen of Bedlam, and Mister Slaughter in a new, four-book deal.
Chinese rights to The Listener have been acquired by Yilin Press. This will be the first McCammon book they’ve published. That’s all of the information I have available at this time.
Italian publisher Gruppo Editoriale Fanucci has revealed the cover to their upcoming translation of Robert McCammon’s Swan Song. You can see it below. The translation is by Francesco Vitellini, who recently posted on Facebook, “Presto in libreria una delle cose migliori che abbia mai tradotto!” (“Soon at the library one of the best things I’ve ever translated!”)
I do not yet know what format the book will have or exactly when it will be released. The ISBN is 9788834741832,
Polish publisher Vesper has acquired the Polish translation rights to four more Robert McCammon novels: Boy’s Life, Swan Song, Usher’s Passing, and The Listener.
