Missing translations
Books that exist, matter, and yet never reached our language. We do not confuse an absence of market with an absence of readers.

The Publisher
We do not choose between the marketable and the unmarketable. We choose between what deserves to circulate and what we have yet to find.

That a work belongs to everyone does not mean it is available to anyone. To edit, translate, and make legible is also to make it exist.
