Matias Riikonen’s Matara is now available in France!

Matias Riikonen’s acclaimed and award-winning novel Matara (Teos, 2021) has just been published in French. The novel is released by Éditions Les Léonides in a French translation by Claire Saint-Germain. Bonne lecture à toustes !

Matara offers a unique and captivating exploration of how seriously play can be taken — and how power, imagination, and governance emerge in children’s games. Set in the heart of a richly described forest, the novel depicts boys constructing an imaginary state inspired by the principles of the Roman Republic, revealing with striking depth how authority and rule-taking come to life through play.

Previously published in German, Danish, and Hungarian, Matara continues its international journey. Translation rights are represented by Helsinki Literary Agency.

Matias Riikosen upea, palkittu romaani Matara (Teos 2021) on ilmestynyt juuri Ranskassa!

Les Léonides -kustantamo on julkaissut ranskaksi Riikosen romaanin, joka käsittelee ainutlaatuisella tavalla sitä, miten vakavasti leikkiin voi suhtautua ja miten vallankäyttö tai kuvitteellinen valtio Rooman tasavallasta omaksutuin opein poikien leikeissä täyteläisesti kuvaillun metsän keskellä rakentuvat. Romaanin on kääntänyt ranskaksi Claire Saint-Germain. Matara on ilmestynyt aiemmin jo saksaksi, tanskaksi ja unkariksi. Käännösoikeuksista vastaa Helsinki Literary Agency.
