On Monday, April 26th, 1937, the bells of Santa Maria tolled, warning of the inhumane aerial raid that would reduce the Spanish city of Guernica into ruins. Men, women, children and animals were destroyed under the weight of the fiery nationalist bombs. Picasso immortalized the victims of this terrible moment in history with his painting Guernica and the image has become a plea for peace. We named our press Guernica with the hope that the books we publish will make this world a better place in which to live and love. Guernica Editions is a leading Canadian publisher of translations, with a growing reputation in the international rights market. Our titles have been translated into French, Italian, German, Serbian, Spanish, Catalan, and other languages.
