How we work

We publish only a few books a year, and we choose them ourselves – above all discoveries from Italy, France and Latin America that have so far escaped German-speaking readers. Most of our titles we translate ourselves. All our books appear in German.

Information for authors (in German) can be found under Manuskripte.
