Peirene Press is an award-winning boutique publishing house based in London. In 2011 it was named Newcomer of the Year by the Independent Publishers Guild. Peirene specialise in contemporary European novellas in English translation. All our books are best-sellers and/or award winners in their own countries but have never been translated into English before. Peirene only publish books of less than 200 pages that can be read in the same time it takes to watch a DVD. Our books are beautifully designed paperback editions, using the best paper from sustainable British sources. Affordable, timeless collector items.
