LONDON — “Flights,” a philosophical rumination on modern-day travel by the Polish author Olga Tokarczuk, won the Man Booker International Prize for works of translated fiction on Tuesday night.

Ms. Tokarczuk shared the prize of 50,000 British pounds, around $67,000, with the book’s English-language translator, Jennifer Croft.

The Man Booker International Prize is awarded by the same organization that gives the Man Booker Prize for fiction. It is for a single work of fiction that has been translated into English and published in the United Kingdom in the last year.

Ms. Tokarczuk, 56, was born in Poland. In 2008 she won the Nike Award, Poland’s highest literary accolade, for “Flights.”
