The International Booker Prize is an annual literary award that honors outstanding works of translated fiction. Established in 2005, it aims to recognize both the author and the translator, highlighting the importance of translation in making literature accessible to a global audience. The prize is awarded to a book originally written in a language other than English and translated into English. The winning title receives a cash prize, which is shared between the author and the translator, promoting cross-cultural understanding and appreciation of diverse literary voices.
