WHY UNBOUND ATLAS

Great stories
deserve to
travel.

A book can be a window into a place you have never been—and a life you have never lived.

Unbound Atlas is an independent publishing imprint dedicated to making hard-to-access historical books available in translation. We look beyond the familiar shelves to bring literature from different countries to readers in English.

From Croatian streets to the Brazilian Northeast, our books explore the ambitions, contradictions, and emotions that connect people across borders.

Published from Porto Alegre, Brazil.
For curious readers, wherever they are.

A NOTE ON OUR EDITIONS

Old voices.
New possibilities.

We use the latest advances in artificial intelligence to produce English translations of world literature. By reducing the cost of translation, this approach helps us make our books more affordable and bring works that might otherwise remain out of reach to a wider public.

Every text goes through two rounds of review to check meaning, consistency, and readability, with editorial review by Rodolfo Antoniazzi. Each edition includes clear credits explaining how it was made. Modern AI technology and careful review work together to open new possibilities for old voices.
