One Third Publishers started out humbly in a cottage in the Bohemian mountains and is currently run by two former booksellers who have put together an ambitious line-up of publications to appear in the coming months. These include unique editions of Czech and Slovak literaure, as well as some original works of the political and cultural history of these countries. Central Europe Review will be taking a closer look at some of these works as they appear - begining this week with a review of the recently released reprint of a rare nineteenth-century translation of Bozena Nemcova's The Grandmother .
