The Man Booker International Prize is a biennial international literary award given to a living author of any nationality for fiction published in English or generally available in English translation.
The award, sponsored by the Man Group and established in 2005 to complement the Man Booker Prize, rewards one writer's overall achievement in literature and their significant influence on writers and readers worldwide. The award is therefore a recognition of the writer's body of work, rather than any one title.
The inaugural winner, Albanian writer Ismail Kadare, was named in London on June 2, 2005, and received the award and £60,000 at a ceremony in Edinburgh on June 27.
