The Italians are famous for knowing how to live, for their passion, for their architecture, painting, city planning, music, industrial design, high fashion, and for having created one of the world's great national literatures. Steerforth Italia is an imprint whose titles will span the whole spectrum of Italian culture and life—from reissues of essential classics to novels by contemporary Italian writers, to works on politics, history, art, food, and travel.
