[8] Europa's first publication, 2005's The Days of Abandonment by Elena Ferrante (translated by Ann Goldstein), was compared favorably to Anna Karenina in the New York Times and became an Indie Bestseller.
"[14] Europa Editions uses a uniform look for its trade paperback publications that includes French flaps, a consistent font on the book spines, and the publisher's stork logo on the front of each volume.
[17] The first publication from Tonga Books was Alexander Maksik's debut novel You Deserve Nothing, about a relationship between a teacher at an international school in Paris and one of his students.
"[18] The Christian Science Monitor said Maksik's writing was "reminiscent of James Salter's in its sensuality, Francine Prose's capacious inquiry into difficult moral questions and Martin Amis's loose-limbed evocation of the perils of youth.
"[20] Notable titles in the series include Gene Kerrigan's Gold Dagger Award-winning The Rage, Jean-Claude Izzo's Total Chaos, which launched the Mediterranean Noir movement, and the reissue of groundbreaking Scottish crime writer William McIlvanney's Laidlaw books.
