DESCRIPTION:Thu 27 Aug 2026 | 12:00 - 13:00
Prepare to have your literary reality frozen and rewritten. We are thrilled
to highlight one of the most anticipated adult fiction events at this
year's Edinburgh International Book Festival.
Join visionary Polish author Jacek Dukaj and acclaimed translator Ursula
Phillips as they dive into the chilling world of Ice, a masterpiece of
alternate history.
The Story
In Dukaj’s mind-bending epic, the 1908 Tunguska asteroid crash plunges
the Earth into a permanent, freezing winter. History itself stops moving
forward. Follow a young Polish mathematician sent deep into a radically
altered, dreamlike Siberia where he must navigate a deranged reality
suspended between Polish and Russian tensions.
The Event
Dukaj and Phillips will take the stage to discuss the immense challenge and
artistry of translating this audacious, complex world into English. The
conversation will be expertly guided by chair Uilleam Blacker.
