Helix

Helix (Хеликс) is a Serbian publishing house founded in 2005 and based in Smederevo. It focuses on popular science literature and is described as the largest publisher of popular science books in Serbia. Over the years, Helix has published works by many of the world's best-known science communicators, including Michio Kaku, Carl Sagan, Richard Dawkins, Brian Cox, David Raup, Richard Feynman, and others. It has also published books by domestic authors such as Lazar Džamić and Milan M. Ćirković. Helix's catalogue covers a wide range of scientific and philosophical topics, from physics and cosmology to evolution, medicine, and critical thinking. Notable titles include Serbian editions of Daniel Kahneman's "Thinking, Fast and Slow" (Misliti, brzo i sporo), Nassim Nicholas Taleb's "The Black Swan" (Crni labud) and "Antifragile" (Antikrhkost), Richard Dawkins's "The Selfish Gene" (Sebični gen), Michio Kaku's works, and many others. The publisher also offers book bundles and sets, such as a five-book Taleb collection and a set of Milan Ćirković's books. Beyond popular science, Helix has carried out the project "Identities: Persistence in the Search for Human Values in European Literature," which involves publishing novels and short story collections. This project is part of the Creative Europe programme of the European Commission, which supports the cultural and media sectors and promotes cultural diversity and European cultural heritage. Helix operates primarily in the Serbian market, with its website serving as a direct sales channel. The publisher's output reflects a commitment to making complex scientific ideas accessible to a broad readership, and its list of authors includes both international bestsellers and prominent Serbian scholars and writers.

Helix publishing house was founded in 2005 in Smederevo, Serbia. From its inception, it focused on publishing popular science books, a niche that was relatively underserved in the Serbian market at the time. Over the years, Helix grew to become the largest publisher of popular science literature in Serbia, according to its Serbian Wikipedia entry. The publisher built its reputation by translating and publishing works by some of the most famous science popularizers in the world, including Michio Kaku, Carl Sagan, Richard Dawkins, Brian Cox, David Raup, and Richard Feynman. It also published books by domestic authors such as Lazar Džamić and Milan M. Ćirković, thereby supporting local scientific and literary talent. Helix's catalogue expanded to include a wide array of topics: physics, cosmology, evolutionary biology, medicine, psychology, critical thinking, and philosophy of science. Notable titles include Serbian editions of Daniel Kahneman's "Thinking, Fast and Slow" (Misliti, brzo i sporo), which reached its 11th edition; Nassim Nicholas Taleb's "The Black Swan" (Crni labud), which reached its 7th edition, and "Antifragile" (Antikrhkost); Richard Dawkins's "The Selfish Gene" (Sebični gen); and works by Michio Kaku. The publisher also offers curated bundles, such as a five-book Taleb collection and a set of Milan Ćirković's books. In addition to popular science, Helix implemented the project "Identities: Persistence in the Search for Human Values in European Literature," which involved publishing novels and short story collections. This project was part of the Creative Europe programme of the European Commission, a funding initiative that supports the cultural and media sectors, promotes cultural diversity, and safeguards European cultural heritage. The programme has two sub-programmes: Culture and Media. The Culture sub-programme enables cooperation between cultural and creative organizations from various European countries, while the Media sub-programme aims to strengthen the audiovisual sector and promote the use of digital technologies in media. Helix continues to operate from Smederevo, selling books directly through its website, which features a shopping cart and offers various book sets at discounted prices. The publisher remains active in the Serbian book market and maintains a strong presence in the popular science segment.
