Arundhati Roy's book of essays, 'Azadi' (2021), especially the French translation, received acclaim.
'Azaadi' explores the concept of freedom in an increasingly totalitarian world, with an emphasis on fiction and alternative imaginations.
Roy is known for his notable works, including the Booker Prize-winning novel The God of Small Things.
The award ceremony will be held on September 12 in Lausanne, Switzerland.
Past recipients of the European Essay Prize include Alexander Zinoviev, Amin Malouf and Siri Hustvedt.
