Trakt

Trakt (also referred to as Trakt Editions) is a French independent publishing house that focuses on bringing Polish and Eastern European literature to French-speaking readers. The publisher's catalogue includes translations of major works, notably the historical trilogy by Polish Nobel laureate Henryk Sienkiewicz. Trakt's editions are distributed exclusively by Cyber Scribe, and the house has received support from the Polish Book Institute (Institut polonais du livre) for certain translations. The publisher operates a direct-to-consumer sales model through its website, where readers can order books by email and add titles to a shopping cart. Trakt's output is characterized by substantial, high-quality literary translations, often presenting complete editions of classic works for the first time in French. The brand is associated with a niche but dedicated readership interested in Eastern European history and literature.

Trakt is a French publishing house that emerged as a specialist in translating Polish and Eastern European literature into French. While the exact founding date is not documented in the available evidence, the publisher has been active in the 21st century, with its catalogue including works supported by the Polish Book Institute. A notable achievement is the publication of the first complete French translation of Henryk Sienkiewicz's 'The Deluge' (Le Déluge), translated from Polish by Anna Ciesielska in collaboration with Bruno Ribard. This translation was supported by the Polish Book Institute. The publisher's website lists multiple collections, including 'Roman' (novels), 'Łatwe lektury po polsku' (easy readings in Polish), and 'Essais en accès libre' (open access essays). Trakt's distribution is handled exclusively by Cyber Scribe, and its books are available for purchase directly through its website. The house continues to release new editions, such as the third volume of 'The Deluge' and a promotional offer for the complete trilogy.
