Founded in 2005 by Sandro Ferri and Sandra Ozzola Ferri (owner-publishers of Rome-based Edizioni E/O), Europa Editions is an independent publisher based in New York City.
Europa is one of the leading publishers of international fiction in the United States and has gained a reputation for publishing literary and crime fiction by American, British, and Australian authors.

Europa Editions is an independent publisher of quality fiction. The company was founded in 2005 by Sandro Ferri and Sandra Ozzola Ferri, who are also the owners and publishers of the Italian press, Edizioni E/O. The idea behind the creation of Europa Editions was to capitalize on Edizioni E/O’s deep roots in European publishing to bring fresh international voices to the American and British markets and to provide quality editions that have a distinct look and consistently high levels of editorial standards. The Europa 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. In 2013, the New Atlantic Independent Booksellers Association awarded Europa Editions its Paperback publication of the Year award. Europa’s New York office is directed by Editor-in-chief Michael Reynolds. Europa Editions’ London office is directed by Daniela Petracco. In North America, we are distributed by Penguin Random House and Penguin Random House Canada. In the U.K. and Ireland, we are distributed by Turnaround Publisher Services. Notable successes at Europa include: Muriel Barbery’s The Elegance of the Hedgehog (translated by Alison Anderson), which spent almost a year on the New York Times Bestseller list and the IndieBound bestseller list; Jane Gardam’s Old Filth, named a notable book of the year by the New York Times; Elena Ferrante's Neapolitan novels, including My Brilliant Friend, a New York Times bestseller; and, Alina Bronsky’s The Hottest Dishes of the Tartar Cuisine (translated by Tim Mohr), a Publishers Weekly, Wall Street Journal and San Francisco Chronicle favorite read of the year in 2011. Europa Editions publishes about thirty-five titles a year. In its first ten years, the company has published books by authors from twenty-six different countries, making it one of the leading US publishers of international fiction. In a 2013 interview in the Italian industry periodical Leggere:tutti, founder Sandro Ferri said the company was “born with the intention to create bridges between cultures.” Among authors published by Europa, Europa counts two ABA IndieBound bestsellers, four New York Times bestsellers, three Booker Prize-shortlisted novels, five New York Times Editors' Picks, three New York Times Notable Books of the Year, two Goncourt Prize winners, one German Book Prize winner, and two winners of The Strega Prize for Fiction. We invite you to browse our growing list of international fiction and non-fiction, and sign up for our monthly newsletter, in which you'll find information on new releases, reviews, author tours, and other Europa Editions news, all available on our website.
Mission: The motivation behind our publishing endeavors is as much cultural as it is business-related. We are convinced that the dialogue between nations and cultures has never been more important and that this exchange is facilitated by literature chosen not only for its ability to entertain but also its capacity to inform and enlighten readers.
Silence IS violence.
We here at Europa Editions refuse to be silent about, and therefore complicit in, a system that denies dignity and life to our fellow human beings because of the color of their skin.
This is where we stand.

In May, the #EuropaBookClub traveled to Tokyo, Japan to navigate a breathtaking story about Natsuko, Makiko, and Midoriko's struggle with society's gender expectations, femininity, and the experience of being a woman in the modern world. Next month, our travels take us to Iran where the story of a family’s unbreakable connection between the living and the dead awaits us...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We're excited to announce that the June 2020 Europa Book Club pick is THE ENLIGHTENMENT OF THE GREENGAGE TREE by Shokoofeh Azar!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We have been having so much fun reading the world with you and we're ready to continue our journey across the globe, this time in partnership with City of Asylum Bookstore at Alphabet City. Join us as we're swept up in Azar's magical prose where a mother torn apart from her family embarks on a journey in search of meaning in a world swept up in post-revolutionary madness.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
THE ENLIGHTENMENT OF THE GREENGAGE TREE speaks of the power of imagination when confronted with cruelty, and of our human need to make sense of trauma through the ritual of storytelling itself. Through her unforgettable characters, Azar weaves a timely and timeless story that juxtaposes the beauty of an ancient, vibrant culture with the brutality of an oppressive political regime.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“If ever there was a book that needs to be read more than once, this is it.” —ArtsHub
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"...a book full of hope and human resilience.” —World Literature Today
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“[Azar’s] book is a great journey. It moves places and it moves us as readers, in an emotional and intellectual sense.” —Robert Wood, The Los Angeles Review of Books

OLD FILTH by Jane Gardam (Book 1 in the 𝘖𝘭𝘥 𝘍𝘪𝘭𝘵𝘩 𝘛𝘳𝘪𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘺)
Sir Edward Feathers has progressed from struggling young barrister to wealthy expatriate lawyer to distinguished judge. Comfortably retired in Dorset, he now approaches a reckoning with his own history. Not all the old filth, it seems, can be cleaned away.
Borrowing from biography and history, Jane Gardam has written a literary masterpiece that retraces much of the twentieth century.

Poet and author Ian Williams talks about Reproduction, his best-selling debut novel winner of the 2019 Giller Prize, Canada's most prestigious literary award...
“Mischievous, funny, moving, and full of stunning revelations about how strangers become family. Simply breathtaking!”—Kelly Justice of @fountainbookstore
Winner of the #GillerPrize, REPRODUCTION is the best-selling debut novel by author and poet Ian Williams. Set in Toronto over two generations, it’s a story about love, community, family, and friendship —a perfect book for Mother’s Day!
Speaking of motherhood, check out Ian’s lovely piece about his on mother, published by Hazlitt magazine and available on our website (link in bio).
"To keep another human being alive for decades is no small thing. The childless can opt for a cactus or a fern, depending on their time and instincts for caregiving. One could party in Ibiza for months and come back and the cactus will still be fine. By contrast, knowing that a child is not a cactus, how does a mother ever lift her attention from her child?"
A Mother's Day message from Ian Williams, author of REPRODUCTION. Read the full, beautiful essay, originally published in Hazlitt, on our website.

Happy Friday book lovers and hello to the month of May! 🌸
We are SO excited to invite you to the first ever meeting of the virtual Our Brilliant Book Club! Our first selection is BREASTS AND EGGS by Mieko Kawakami (@kawakami_mieko), translated by Sam Bett (@sambett) and David Boyd. Join us as we plunge into this breathtaking story and navigate Kawakami’s lyrical prose of gender expectations, femininity, and the experience of being a woman in the modern world.
At the end of the month, get together with us and special guests where we will all have the opportunity to discuss the book. Will you read with us?
BREASTS AND EGGS paints a portrait of contemporary womanhood in Japan and recounts the intimate journeys of three women as they confront oppressive mores and their own uncertainties on the road to finding peace and futures they can truly call their own. BREASTS AND EGGS is perfect for fans of Sally Rooney, Muriel Barbery, and Jia Tolentino.
Challenging every preconception about storytelling and prose style, mixing wry humor and riveting emotional depth, Kawakami is today one of Japan’s most important and best-selling writers, and is hailed by Haruki Murakami as Japan’s most important contemporary novelist.
“A bracing, feminist exploration of daily life in Japan.” – 𝘌𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘞𝘦𝘦𝘬𝘭𝘺
“Kawakami writes with unsettling precision about the body—its discomforts, its appetites, its smells and secretions. And she is especially good at capturing its longings.” – 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘕𝘦𝘸 𝘠𝘰𝘳𝘬 𝘛𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘉𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘙𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘦𝘸
