BaltArt-Verlag is a branch of BaltArt GmbH Switzerland, founded in 2005 in Langenthal , Switzerland. Founder, managing director and publisher is the Germanist, historian, journalist and translator Daniel Sägesser. Another line of business includes a gallery for Baltic art, the BaltArt Gallery. The BaltArt-Verlag specializes in the publication of literary works and non-fiction books by authors from the Baltic Sea region, especially from the three Baltic states. The ideal goal of the publishing house is to make the works of these authors accessible and known to German-speaking readers. The publishing house publishes these works in the series Baltische Bibliothek in BaltArt-Verlag . Among other things, the novel Dievų miškas by the Lithuanian writer Balys Sruoga , which is considered part of world literature, was published under the title The Forest of the Gods , the Novelliade Medborgare i Republiken Finland by the Finnish-Swedish modernist Elmer Diktonius under the title Citizen of the Republic of Finland or Brödrabataljonen by the Swedish Ingrian Eino Hanski for the first time in a German translation under the title Das Brüderbataillon . In addition to translations into German, BaltArt-Verlag publishes books by German-language writers who deal with the Baltic States, such as Black Friday - and other Latvian stories by Matthias Boosch from Mainz and, in the Swiss Literature series, BaltArt-Verlag publishes translations into Lithuanian and Latvian, specifically the Bernese German Bestseller Der Goalie bin ig by the Swiss writer Pedro Lenz . Two Estonian children's books in German are also part of the publisher's range.
