Overview

La Grande Illusion is a small publishing house based in Pavia, Italy. It was conceived in 2011 for the publication of the poemetto Litalìa, a typographic proof in a private edition of only ninety-nine copies printed in Brussels. In March 2013 it began its 'commercial' adventure. Its catalog, in addition to a number zero, currently counts about thirty titles and, for the care and commitment required by each volume, plans to grow by no more than three or four new books per year. In March 2018 it inaugurated, with the first Italian translation and critical edition of Kurt Schwitters' Augusta Bolte, the series of Sciences, Letters, Arts and Applied Graphics 'Situazioni', the only continuous one and almost a publishing house within the publishing house.
