Sandras Kalnietes romāns izdots arī arābu valodā
Sandra KalnieteAr balles kurpēm Sibīrijas sniegos
Sphinx Agency for Arts and Literature, 2009
ISBN: 978-977-6299-XX-000
Ēģiptes izdevniecībā „Sphinx Agency for Arts and Literature” klajā laists Sandras Kalnietes romāns „Ar balles kurpēm Sibīrijas sniegos”, kas arābu valodā tulkots ar angļu valodas starpniecību.
Sandras Kalnietes romāns „Ar balles kurpēm Sibīrijas sniegos” ir visvairāk tulkotais latviešu mūsdienu literatūras darbs, tas jau iznācis Francijā, Zviedrijā, Vācijā, Nīderlandē, Itālijā, Somijā, Čehijā un ASV, romāns tulkots arī krievu valodā. Romānā „Ar balles kurpēm Sibīrijas sniegos” sižetiski un kompozicionāli pārdomātā izklāstā autore ietvērusi savas ģimenes vēstures traģiskāko stāstu, mātes un tēva, viņu senču izsūtījumu uz Sibīriju. Dreifeldu un Kalniešu dzimtas individuālās drāmas metos ir tipisks latviešu tautas likteņscenārijs, tāpēc grāmatas kopuztverē zūd robeža starp savu un svešu sāpi, jo sasniegts augsts mākslinieciska vispārinājuma spēks.
Sandras Kalnietes romāna izdošanu atbalstījis Latvijas Literatūras centrs sadarbībā ar Valsts kultūrkapitāla fondu kultūras programmas „Latvijas literatūra pasaulē” ietvaros organizētajā konkursā „Atbalsts ārvalstu izdevējiem Latvijas literatūras tulkojumu izdošanai”.
