About Aflame Books
Aflame Books is an independent publisher, based in the United Kingdom, that publishes world fiction and poetry in English translation.
Aflame was created to give a voice to writers whose brilliance has been hidden from the English-speaking world by barriers of culture and language. They publish writing that deserves to be read, because it is fired by passion and originality and relates stories never before told.
Aflame’s principal focus is on literature originally published in languages from regions once collectively known as the Third World but today more positively referred to as the Warm World: Africa, Latin America and the Middle East. They are also actively reaching out to other regions, in keeping with their belief that fine literature is truly universal.
The first Aflame title, Halala Madiba: Nelson Mandela in Poetry, was released in July 2006. They produce about six books a year and, to date, have published the work of writers from Iran, Guatemala, Angola, South Africa, Egypt, Argentina, Brazil, Costa Rica and Mexico, many of whom are award-winners in their own language.
Join Aflame as they seek to bring words from afar to everyone who reads English. It will change the way you look at literature.
