Since 2019 8tto Edizioni has been bringing to the attention of its Italian readership a number of works, rediscovered from the recent past. Such works distinguish themselves, not only for their intrinsic value, but also for their originality, which, often, moves away from traditional settings, towards more experimental, surreal, avant-garde ones. 8tto Edizioni organizes its books in 4 series, each of them presenting their own distinctive features and character. On the one hand, the book series 8tto focuses on the contemporary Anglo-Saxon world, with the aim to bring around translated works both in the form of novel and short stories. On the other hand, Le s8ttane, brings to life voices of old women, who have been forced to remain silent and be destined to oblivion, both in Italy and many other countries. Indeed, the objective is to encompass different eras and locations and give a chance to these female authors to have their thoughts and stories being known, as they were deprived of such opportunity during their lifetime. The third book series takes them of b8ttoni, which discloses modern Italian narrative. Lastly, through In sal8tto, 8tto Edizioni shows its defining identity traits as a publishing house, such as feminism, rediscovery and a touch of unexpectedness. These works exhibit a wide range of themes, from ordinary life to culture and aspects of society that stimulate our curiosity. If we wanted to use a metaphor, we could say that within our essays, or better, in our cozy living room, there is no space for dust, but only for pure surprise.
