Since 1920, the Hispanic Institute at Casa Hispánica has fostered the dissemination of Spanish and Latin American culture. One of its founding objectives was to publish “works of undisputed merit and of special value,” including the first edition of Mistral's Desolación. Through its literary translation series, Sundial House honors the Hispanic Institute’s editorial legacy while expanding its literary scope.
A paltry 3% of all books published in the United States are works in translation. Sundial House will respond to this circumstance with increased access to international literary works of merit. To that end, the series privileges translations into English of creative voices who exemplify all the rich cultural traditions of Latin America and the Iberian Peninsula.
Sundial House publishes translations into English and bilingual editions of the work of authors from any of the cultures and languages manifest in Latin America and the Iberian Peninsula.
