Chiltern Publishing was formed in 2018 with a vision to create the most beautiful classics.

Jane Austen's original books (particularly Pride and Prejudice) from the 1800s were our inspiration.

So, using a perfect mix of tradition and the very latest in printing techniques, 19th Century quality has met 21st Century technology.

With wonderfully detailed covers, sparkling golden edges, creamy pages, and stitched binding they are the most beautiful classics ever published.

Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness is the story of an English seaman, Charles Marlow, who is hired by a Belgian company to captain a steamer up river through the African interior.

Widely regarded as a critique of European colonial rule in Africa, it has endured to stand as a Modernist masterpiece.
