Global Voices’ Esperanto Lingua Translation Manager Herman Dekeŭnink [2] translated the originally French-Dutch bilingual novel “Perception de Delvaux” (Perception of Delvaux) by author Jean Jauniaux [3] who is the president of PEN Club Belgique [4], the Belgian French-speaking center of PEN International.

The fiction has been published in 2018 [5] and recounts an unexpected event that occurred at the Delvaux Museum during a visit to Saint Idesbald (Belgium) by a group of Japanese tourists. Dekeŭnink translated the work, which has been edited by Japana Esperanta Librokooperativo, into Esperanto.
