Archipelago Books

A nonprofit press devoted to contemporary & classic world literature

“Translation is the medium through which American readers gain greater access to the world. By providing us with as direct a connection as possible to the individual voice of the author, translation provides a window into the heart of a culture.”

— Cliff Becker (NEA Literature Director 1999-2005)
