Fitzcarraldo Editions is an independent British book publisher based in Deptford, London, specialising in literary fiction and long-form essays in both translation and English-language originals.[1] It focuses on ambitious, imaginative, and innovative writing by little-known authors.[2] Fitzcarraldo Editions currently publishes twelve books a year.[3] Three of Fitzcarraldo's authors have gone on to win the Nobel Prize in Literature: Svetlana Alexievich (2015), Olga Tokarczuk (2018) and Annie Ernaux (2022).
History
Fitzcarraldo Editions was founded in 2014 when Jacques Testard bought the English-language rights to Second-Hand Time by Svetlana Alexievich for £3500 at the Frankfurt Book Fair.[4] Alexievich later won the Nobel Prize, netting a "six-figure" sum for the publisher. The name comes from the 1982 Werner Herzog film Fitzcarraldo.
The books are designed by Ray O’Meara, using a custom serif typeface called Fitzcarraldo.[5][6] Fitzcarraldo Editions publishes Svetlana Alexievich, Alejandro Zambra, Mathias Énard, Annie Ernaux,[7] Joshua Cohen, Alaa Abd el-Fattah, Olga Tokarczuk, Jon Fosse, Fernanda Melchor, Ian Penman and Paul B. Preciado, among other authors.[6][8]
