There are endless reasons to invest in new pairs of workout leggings. For one, fresh workout gear equals major #fitspo. In other words, a new gym outfit is the surest way of motivating us to hit the gym. Number two, leggings are comfortable and cute—and with the right pair, they're totally flattering. And finally, the leggings listed below are on sale now at Nordstrom (and for a limited time only!).
The short answer is yes. The extraordinary success of Karl Ove Knausgård and Elena Ferrante in recent years is proof that fiction from other lands has a global following. Last year a new report from Literature Across Frontiers (LAF) finally put some figures on this. The statistics show a steady growth of literary translations over the past two decades, both in absolute numbers and as a share of the whole. The number of literary translations into English grew by two-thirds between 1990 and 2012, accounting for a peak of 5.23% of the whole in 2011 against an average of just 3%. Specialist foreign-fiction publishers, such as Quercus, Pereine and Pushkin, have all sprung up in the past decade or so.
