Limmat Verlag

The Limmat Verlag was founded in 1975, and counts as one of Switzerland’s most important publishing houses. The company publishes German-language literature from Switzerland as well as translations from languages spoken within Switzerland (along with Albanian, Hungarian, English, etc.), and also, in its non-fiction list, historical and political books, photography books, biographies and memoirs, chiefly those of ordinary people, focusing especially on everyday life, past and present, with a particular emphasis on women and women’s history.  Its list includes numerous classic Swiss authors, including Charles Ferdinand Ramuz, Meinrad Ingle and Friedrich Glauser.
