Paul Zsolnay Verlag

Founded in 1924 in Vienna, Paul Zsolnay Verlag is with its long tradition and its prestige one of the leading publishing houses in Austria. In 1996 Zsolnay Verlag was acquired by Carl Hanser Verlag in Munich, but has remained in Vienna continuing to maintain its tradition of publishing high quality fiction and non-fiction of contemporary Austrian authors and international writers in translation. In addition to that Zsolnay Verlag has an impressive backlist with the works by well-known authors such as Leo Perutz, Graham Greene, John Steinbeck, Colette to H.G. Wells. Following the tremendous success of the novels by bestselling author Henning Mankell crime fiction has become another trademark of Zsolnay’s list. The programme of the Paul Zsolnay Verlag covers the following areas: literature, history and cultural history, music, theater, film, political science and contemporary history, philosophy, literary studies, and Austrian and regional books.
