> About Faber & Faber
Founded in 1929, Faber and Faber has been a publisher of distinction for nearly 80 years. One of the UK's leading independent houses, Faber publishes Fiction, Non-fiction, Children's titles, and specialist lists of Poetry, Drama, Music, and Film. Faber has been the publisher of eleven Nobel laureates for Literature, among them Samuel Beckett, T.S. Eliot, and Harold Pinter. The company's publishing of books about cinema began in the 1930s, including a book by Michael Powell about the making of his The Edge of the World (1937). But it became a fully-fledged list in the mid-1980s, expressly dedicated to publishing the writings, reflections and opinions of the world's leading filmmakers, in their own words: from Scorsese on Scorsese and Lynch on Lynch to the annual journal Projections, Richard Williams' The Animator's Survival Kit, and Mike Figgis's Digital Film-Making. more >
