Books translated into Russian

If you are looking for books translated into Russian, you've come to the right place! We have a number of acclaimed novels by Owen Jones available. These books were first written in English, but were selected and translated into Russian by professional Russian translators. They are from various genres as the Welsh author does not have a favourite, although many of the novels reflect his Welsh background and belief in a life after death, in which the living and ‘the dead’ can communicate. His books are usually set in either his native Wales, his beloved Spain, or the country where he now lives, Thailand.

This is the list of books translated into Russian available as I am writing this blog post.

Books by Welsh Writer Owen Jones translated into Russian

Behind The Smile - «Что скрывает улыбка»

Behind The Smile is a series of seven novels on the life of Lek, a bar girl in Pattaya. This fictional biography isset in Pattaya, Thailand, which is probably Asia’s hottest holiday destination. It is world-famous for its nightlife and bar girls. Jones has had a twenty-year association with the city, and knows it very well. The girls in a bar that he came to know very well asked him to write their story. In fact, it is based on the stories that the girls of this bar told him. Daddy’s Hobby, the first novel in the series, was his first book, and remains his best-seller. A high percentage of the British and American male visitors to Pattaya will have read, or at least heard of, this series.

Behind The Smile is available in nine languages. Dasha Elsova translated the Russian edition.

The Ghouls of Calle Goya - Упыри c улицы Гойя

The Ghouls of Calle Goya is a fantasy horror thriller that is based on a true story that befell the author and his wife while living in Fuengirola, Spain. Locations for the story are in Norway, Britain, Spain and Thailand, and it tells the story of how a newly-wed couple fall foul of an international secret society while on their honeymoon in Fuengirola. As in most of Jones’ realistic novels, the street names and places actually exist.

Fate Twister – Судьбоносец

Fate Twister is a fantasy coming-of-age story, and tells the story of the early life of Wayne Gamm, who was born into a family of witches in the mountains of north Wales near Dolgellau. That is, most people would call it a fantasy or a supernatural fantasy, but Jones believes that everything that he writes about in this novel are possible, and in fact, are reality for millions of people around the world today.

“The word ‘witch’ still carries the mostly pejorative meaning that was attached to it by the Catholic church in the Middle Ages. Witch Hunts, torture and murder were the results. Furthermore, Hollywood perpetuates an absurd image of witches and warlocks”, he says. “My mother was a self-proclaimed White Witch, and my father said that her mother was an old witch too!” he says only half jokingly. “My parents did not bring my brothers and me up to think that this was at all unusual”.

Fate Twister reflects those opinions, as do several of Jones’ other novels.

Fate Twister is available in five languages. Natalija Cvetkova translated the Russian edition.
