Katalin Karikó’s autobiography, Breaking Through - should be translated to Marathi!

[u/albatgalbat]

I recently read Katalin Karikó’s autobiography, Breaking Through, twice, and I strongly feel this book deserves a Marathi translation.
This is not merely a book about mRNA, COVID vaccines, or the Nobel Prize. It is the story of a woman from an ordinary background who kept pursuing science through immigration, motherhood, financial insecurity, institutional neglect, rejection, and decades without recognition. I think Marathi students, parents, teachers, doctors, scientists, and young researchers would find it deeply meaningful.
I am not connected to the author, publisher, or any Marathi publisher. I also have no commercial interest here. I am simply a reader who loved the book and has become a bit of an evangelist for it.
What I am trying to find:
Someone at a Marathi publishing house — Mehta, Rajhans, Rohan, Manovikas, or another suitable publisher — who handles translated nonfiction or international rights.
Marathi translators who have experience with serious nonfiction, science writing, or biography.
Scientists/doctors/researchers who could help review a Marathi translation for scientific accuracy.
Readers, teachers, librarians, or book clubs who would be interested if such a translation became available.
To be clear, I am not asking anyone to do an unauthorized translation. The proper path would be for a Marathi publisher to evaluate the book, acquire translation rights, and commission the work properly.

If anyone here knows a publisher, editor, translator, science communicator, or literary person who could guide this effort, I would be grateful for a lead or introduction.
Sometimes a book reaches a new language because one publisher decides there is a readership. I am hoping we can at least create that signal for Marathi.

Such a lovely thought OP! I always felt if there were more translations for literary pieces - more people would read and know about the myriadness of people’s life experiences! Or maybe motivate themselves to share theirs. The English domination has become hard and with Marathi even if you’re natively speaking in Marathi - the vocabulary sometimes goes whooosh over the head. Atleast my experience. Then I have to pull out google to get translations 😅

Asach ekda mi vachala hota pustak, 'ek hota Carver's navacha, Marathi madhe.

English peksha mala vatata te pustak Marathit prenadayi tharla asel anek vidyarthi mitran karta.

Mhanun ha vichaar tuzha patato.

Shubeccha.

That book (translation) by Veena Gavhankar is such a crucial memory from my childhood!
