Edizioni E/O and Europa Editions are two independent publishers of quality fiction. The companies were founded respectively in 1979 and 2005 by Sandro Ferri and Sandra Ozzola Ferri. The idea behind Edizioni E/O and Europa is one of cultural exchange rooted in bringing high quality translated fiction into Italian bookshops, but also bringing the best Italian contemporary literature can offer to the American and British market - and the world in general. Our catalog is eclectic, reflecting the founders’ belief that dialogue between nations and cultures is of vital importance and that this exchange is facilitated by literature chosen not only for its ability to entertain and fascinate but also to inform and enlighten. Notable successes at E/O and Europa include: Muriel Barbery’s The Elegance of the Hedgehog, which spent almost a year on the New York Times Bestseller list and the IndieBound bestseller list; Elena Ferrante's Neapolitan novels, including My Brilliant Friend, a New York Times bestseller; Massimo Carlotto's Mediterranean noir series, soon to be a tv show for the Italian network RAI; Ahmet Altan's Ottoman quartet, powerful critique of an authoritarian regime with echoes of contemporary Turkey. Never tired of research, Edizioni E/O is building a list of fresh, strong, experimental new voices in Italian contemporary literature, with an attention to novels with a strong sense of place, sophisticated plots and attentive character development: the works of Sacha Naspini, Fabio Bartolomei, Massimo Cuomo are already known internationally as a new wave of what made Edizioni E/O and Europa Editions one of the most adventurous and succesful publishers of the last ten years.

Cambeva's workshop is the first of four books of the collection "Presente de Vô" in partnership with Grupo Ponto de Partida. The book is a mixture of colours and elements that highlight the memory of the world, in which seekers of memories have the mission of bringing light and life to objects found in the travels of two characters: Zalém and Calunga. Cambeva is a restorer who, when the world lost its embrace, tried to reinvent it; he is the grandfather who mends dreams, forgotten things and lost emotions, to whom the seekers ask for help to fix something. In a magical universe, full of children, grandchildren, stories and memories of his lineage of restorers, when faced with this request for restoration, he makes room to bring back an emblematic figure who can no longer sing. A story about memories, care and affection...

Heidi, das schweizerischste aller Mädchen, soll einen deutschen Vater haben? Als im April 2010 ein Schweizer Germanist ein Vorbild für Johanna Spyris Kinderbuchklassiker gefunden zu haben glaubte, ging ein Sturm der Entrüstung durchs Land. In einer Erzählung des heute vergessenen deutschen Autors und Pädagogen Hermann Adam von Kamp, "Adelaide, das Mädchen vom Alpengebirge", machte Peter O. Büttner frappierende Parallelen zu Spyris Kinderbuchklassiker aus und zudem noch – wie in "Heidi" selbst! – erotische Untertöne. Mit der Erzählung Hermann Adam von Kamps, einem Essay des Entdeckers Peter O. Büttner sowie "Heidi"-Illustrationen verschiedener Epochen.

In seinem Buch zeigt Muschg, daß die Schweiz in den letzten Jahrzehnten entscheidende Weichenstellungen wie die, sich zu Europa zu bekennen, verpaßt und obendrein ihre eigene europäische Geschichte um das Revolutionsjahr 1848 uminterpretiert hat. Aber Muschg wäre nicht Muschg, wenn er diesen Sachverhalt nicht mit literarischen, also erzählerischen Mitteln ins Bild brächte: anhand von drei Figuren, von denen der Gründer Alfred Escher die mächtigste, der Dichter Gottfried Keller die bekannteste, beider Gegenspieler aber, der Advokat Friedrich Locher, die eigentliche Entdeckung des Buches ist. Im Spannungsfeld dieser drei entsteht (oder verfällt) »republikanische Kultur«. Sie ist der hartnäckig festgehaltene Orientierungspunkt des Schweizers Muschg. O mein Heimatland! ist ein streitbares Buch, das die Geschichte des Bundesstaates seit seiner Gründung 1848 auf ganz besondere Weise erzählt.

It's 1879. To the north, Chile defends foreign investment in the Pacific War. To the south, beyond the already invaded Araucania, from a large, almost unexplored island, rumors of violence, superstition and a state incapable of enforcing its law spread. The elite would be at ease if some “elements” that are not occupied at the border with Peru penetrated Chiloé. They need evidence to condemn those criminals who terrorize the population with old indigenous beliefs. They call themselves witches. They are organized as La Recta Provincia or La Hermandad de la Casa Grande. They lie to scare and change the names of the cities on the island –Achao, Dalcahue or Quicaví–, confusing them with others: Buenos Aires, Villarrica, Salamanca. If they were only myths, it would be enough for the government to forget that secret place. But the one who calls himself the Greatest Liar in the World claims to have escaped the sorcerers and travels the north glimpsing the aliens: he talks to them of malice, monsters and murders; of the bloody clans' struggles to become a decaying reign. For these lies, or to secure an unstable national pride, coronels and tenants decide to put an end to things that a mortal has no power to finish.
