Faber & Faber on Waterstones.com
Faber and Faber was founded in 1929 with an inaugural list that included the finest poets of the day. Over the years our publishing has expanded to include many bestselling and acclaimed authors writing across a wide range of genres.
To celebrate over 80 years in the business, we have produced a beautiful set of ten debut novels from our best-known authors, as well as a selection of must-have poetry volumes that will delight poetry fans. Hopefully we'll see you at some of the special events taking place up and down the country over the next few months - here's to the next 80 years!
Guardian First Book Award Winner 2009
An Elegy for Easterly by Petina Gappah, published by Faber, has won the Guardian First Book Award 2009, in association with Waterstone's.
The collection of short stories by the Zimbabwean writer was selected by a celebrity judging panel, as well as by readers from five Waterstone's reading groups.
Stuart Broom from Waterstone's, who represented the views of the Waterstone's reading groups during the final judging process, said: "There is a quietness, humour and charm to this book that resonated with the Waterstone's reading groups. Many readers commented on the delicate simplicity of the stories, which belies the fact that a number of the short stories explore very harsh political realities. It's going to be fascinating to see what Gappah does next as a writer."
