Donzelli editore. A short profile
"Donzelli: books of ideas" was the first slogan thought in 1992 to launch the new independent Publishing House, that Carmine Donzelli - former chief editor at Einaudi and Marsilio's editorial director - was about to found. It still sums up the spirit of the house, publishing good books for a well-educated and refined readership, with a specific civil passion and political vocation.
Featuring a list of over 1.000 titles, Donzelli's aim is to build up a long-sellers catalogue based on History, Political and Economical studies, Philosophy, Literature and Art essays and shorter pamphlets. In these last few years we have had emphasis in the field of Fiction as well. The Fairytale and short stories Series is focused on dream world of fairy tales and fantastic Literary Fiction. More recently, the MELEDONZELLI Series, launched in May 2008, has been dedicated to contemporary high quality Literary Fiction.
Donzelli does publish nowadays around 100 titles a year, with a 40% of translations from a wide range of languages.
