Introduction

• Luxembourg literature mainly uses three languages: Luxembourgish, German and French. This linguistic particularity is due to the geographical situation of the country and its history, but also to various socio-cultural elements.

  Prix Tony Bourg

• The Prix Tony Bourg, created by the Centre Culturel Français and the Paribas Bank in Luxembourg in honour of a Luxembourg teacher and literary scholar, aims to promote Luxembourg literary works in French. The award was originally meant to distinguish every two years a work of a specific literary genre. In reality it has only been awarded twice: in 1993 to Jean Portante and Jean Sorrente (ex aequo) and in 1998 to Félix Molitor.
