About us
Nine Souls was founded in 2015 and is currently the largest independent book publisher in Israel. We publish approximately thirty literary titles each year, half of which are translated and half are in Hebrew.
Our enterprise is a journey of discovery and passion. We strive to find literary diamonds on every continent, in every dialect and style. These diamonds are published by Nine Souls in advanced design and masterful translations, with the aim of expanding and enriching the local cultural scene.
At the heart of Nine Souls, a particularly warm place is reserved for contemporary Latin American literature, German literature between the world wars, French literature from the Belle Époque period, special Anglo-Saxon literature, and, yes, for European classics from the twentieth century. At the same time, we are developing a broad and high-quality catalog dedicated to contemporary Hebrew literature. To date, our publishing house has published nearly two hundred books.
Four years ago, Nine Souls opened a home in Tel Aviv, where people, books, events, and wines create an alternative, cultural and joyful atmosphere.
