Planned publications

William Clark Russell – in preparation

Solis Press is preparing new editions of two of Clark Russell's seafaring novels.

The first, The Wreck of the "Grosvenor", is perhaps his most famous book. It has been described by John Sutherland, Emeritus Professor of Modern English Literature at University College London as:

"the most popular mid-Victorian melodrama of adventure and heroism at sea".

The second, List, Ye Landsmen!, was written at the height of Clark Russell's popularity and according to Dr Andrew Nash, University of Reading:

"he received his largest single payment when Cassell [the publishing company] agreed to pay £1000 for the copyright ... around £50,000 in today's money".

European classic literature

We are planning a series of European classic literature in both epub and Kindle formats.

Please revisit the site soon for updates on the new titles.

Production values

To give you the best quality, the editions that Solis Press publish are especially prepared and formatted for ebook readers. Our editors and proof-readers carefully read and check each title. They are not scanned copies of old editions.
