40 Fabulour Fabers

Faber and Faber who are turning 80 this year, is one of the last independent publishing houses in London. It can justifiably boast about its achievements over the years. With no fewer than eleven Nobel Laureates and six Booker Prize-winners, as well as a thriving stable of newcomers, there’s still plenty of life in the house that’s published T.S. Eliot, Sylvia Plath, Kazuo Ishiguro, Peter Carey, Orhan Pamuk and P.D. James.

To celebrate their milestone, we’d like to showcase 40 of Faber’s most-loved classics as well as their best and freshest new voices. Think of books like The Lord of the Flies, The Poisonwood Bible, The Last King of Scotland and, winner of the 2008 Pulitzer Prize, The Brief and Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao and you’ll get the picture.

Books that you’ve read and loved, have always wanted to read, have heard about or can’t stop thinking about. That’s Faber and Faber. That’s 80 years of reading pleasure.
