Now open in downtown Cleveland, Clevo Books offers a unique selection of reading material you won’t often find in any other local bookstore. Clevo Books specializes in translated, foreign books from world-renowned authors and master storytellers. Our selection of translated books is sure to have something for every reader!

Translated Books

We include translated books from authors all over the world in both fiction and nonfiction, as well as all sorts of genres, from children’s books to novels, and more! The translation of our foreign books keeps the voice and heart of the author apparent in the book, so that nothing is lost in translation and you can enjoy the book and story just the way the author intended.

Books in translation offer insights to cultures and ideas that may not have otherwise been accessible to audiences in the U.S. Cultural competence is important for any nation, and through our connections with one another, we can make the world seem a little bit smaller once we understand each other.

Featured Authors

Clevo Books features authors from all around the world in various languages. Although not exclusively, we do like to feature female authors as much as possible. Clevo Books makes sure to include every author we can, and promote lesser known authors that local Clevelanders might not be aware of.

Translated books in the U.S. only comprise 3-4% of the book market. Out of that small percentage, even less female authors are represented, so we wanted to create a place that represents these authors! Translated books share cultural knowledge and awareness that might not have been otherwise recognized elsewhere. The more we understand other cultures, the more we understand our own, and so Clevo Books presents books and stories from all over the globe. There are so many great books and stories from around the world, and we won’t let the language barrier keep us from enjoying the wonderful works of others!
