PASKUTINIS ROMANTIKAS

MARTIN HALL
NOVEL
OCTOBER 2008
TYTO ALBA (ISBN 978-9986-16-651-1)

Martin Hall’s epic novel The Last Romantic received massive attention by the Danish media and press corpse at the time of its release in August 2005. The book – a two-volume thick publication covering more than 700 pages – became Hall’s literary breakthrough in his home country.

In October 2008 the Lithuanian publishing company Tyto Alba released the title in the former Soviet republic under the title Paskutinis Romantikas (“The Last Romantics”). The company releases approximately 100 books a year and had earlier published translations of bestsellers such as Ms. Smilla’s Sense of Snow by Peter Hoeg, Sophie’s World by Jostein Gaarder and Foucault’s Pendulum by Umberto Eco.

Neither Hall nor his Danish publishing company had anything to do with the choice of the Lithuanian cover. You can read more about the original version here:
