Hesperus Press is an independent publishing house based in London, United Kingdom. It was founded in 2001. The publisher's motto, "Et Remotissima Prope," is a Latin phrase which means "Bringing near what is far".[2] Hesperus Press has published some 300 works[3] by both classic and contemporary authors, including: Dante, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Dickens, Dostoyevsky, Flaubert, Kafka, Tolstoy, Woolf, Annie Dillard, and Aldous Huxley. Their series have included: Hesperus Classics, Hesperus Nova, Hesperus Minor, Brief Lives, Poetic Lives, ON, Modern Voices, and Hesperus Worldwide.[4][5]
Hesperus was also responsible for publishing the UK edition of the best-seller The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared by Swedish author Jonas Jonasson, released in July 2012. However, in 2015 the High Court ordered Hesperus to stop selling its edition of the book after it failed to pay royalties to the author for 3 years.[6]
According to its 2023 accounts, Hesperus Press currently has no employees.[7]
