Komora Publishing House was founded in 2013. The motto of the publishing house—Only that what will remain—reflects the policy and business strategy which it has brought to the Ukrainian book market: publishing high-quality books intended for home libraries and more than one generation of readers. After 10 years of activity, the catalog of Komora consists of almost 100 editions, and among them there is no mediocre one. Komora is a reliable brand of the first-class cultural product.
Our specialization is Ukrainian and international contemporary and classic fiction and non-fiction. The Supervisory Board of Komora carefully works on the formation of the publishing portfolio, attracting for consultations leading literary scholars, literary agents and translators not only from Ukraine, but also from Poland, the Czech Republic, Germany, Canada and the USA. The head of the Supervisory Board is Oksana Zabuzhko, the writer whose works have been translated in more than 20 countries and who is one of the top authors of Komora.
The publishing house has implemented projects without which it is impossible to imagine the worldview of a modern educated person: the first and most complete edition of Lesia Ukrainka’s letters in 3 volumes, the translation of the milestone work by James Mace, the fundamental study by M. Yakubovych. Our bestsellers include recognized classics of the 20th century—Václav Havel, Svetlana Alexievich, V. Domontovych.
In its popular translation series Komora collected a selected library of the direction little-known in Ukraine—the modern Central European novel. Here such star writers of the Central and Eastern European region as Ivo Brešan (Croatia), Goran Petrović (Serbia), Jacek Dehnel (Poland), Pavol Rankov (Slovakia), Slavenka Drakulić (Croatia), Miljenko Jergović (Croatia), Bohumil Hrabal (the Czech Republic), Carmen Laforet (Spain), Nino Haratischwili (Georgia, Germany), Radka Denemarková (the Czech Republic), Jiří Kratochvil (the Czech Republic) are presented for the first time in the Ukrainian language.
