Adelphi Edizioni is a publishing house in Milan, Italy that specializes in works of fiction, philosophy and science and in classics translated into Italian.
Adelphi Edizioni S.p.A. was founded in 1962 by Luciano Foà and Roberto Olivetti. It has published works by several famous Italian and international authors and a literary magazine called Adelphiana. Adelphi is owned by Roberto Calasso.
Adephi started by publishing a critical edition of Nietzsche in collaboration with Éditions Gallimard and Walter de Gruyter that the established Italian publisher Giulio Einaudi editore had declined to take on.
Adelphi has been associated with promoting Middle-European culture from the 1970s onwards and published works by contemporary authors that had not received recognition elsewhere.
Adelphi's translated publications include works by Nietzsche, Robert Walser, Georges Simenon, Nabokov, Somerset Maugham, Tolkien, Gottfried Benn, Jack London, Jorge Luis Borges, Elias Canetti, Oliver Sacks, Bruce Chatwin and Milan Kundera. Bestsellers have included 101 Zen Stories and The Unbearable Lightness of Being.
