It was Pushkin that orchestrated the long overdue comeback of Stefan Zweig, and that introduced us to the works of Antal Szerb, starting with his magical novel Journey by Moonlight. While it has gone beyond its original remit by publishing a select range of contemporary writers, it is famous for unearthing or reviving past European masters whose books either languished out of print for decades or were never translated into English in the first place. Since its inception in 1997, Pushkin Press has made a wealth of international literature available to anglophone readers. ![]()
