In the UK, there’s only one way to read some of the most highly regarded authors from outside the English-speaking world. That’s by buying books published by the Puskhin Press.

Pushkin Press books include works bu writers like some of the twentieth century’s most widely acclaimed authors such as Stefan Zweig, Marcel Aymé, Antal Szerb, Paul Morand and Yasushi Inoune, as well as award-winning contemporary writers Andrés Neuman, Edith Pearlman, Ryu Murakami, and 2015 Man Booker Prize shortlisted Chigoze Obioma.

It hasn’t been easy till now to get hold of these (always) exquisitely produced books in India. But now, marketing and distribution deal between Pushkin Press and Penguin Random House means that the titles will be available – in what, we hope, will be friendly pricing for Indian pockets.

Till then, here’s our recommendation: the sumptuous Collected Stories of Stefan Zweig. And here's a secret: the translator is Anthea Bell, she whom you love for bringing you the Asterix comics in English.
