Fides Legals publishing house

Thanks to our years of experience in translating legal documents and contracts, where nuance and attention to language are key, we also provide book translations.

So it made sense for us literary nerds to revive older works of significance by translating them. These are books buried in repositories of books, never before translated.

Now you can find these works on our site in Ebook format and as paperback or hardcover on other channels, where they are offered using excellent print-on-demand service.

Book collection

These works are available in pdf format in their original language in the public domain. These are translated by us and we often make the older language more understandable while keeping the author’s original intentions alive.

Then comes the formatting, from a messy pdf that is difficult to read, to a beautifully formatted copy, including a well-thought-out cover and, in most copies, a page about the author as well as with an artist impression of the author derived from older images or paintings.
