The Harvill Press

The Harvill Press is identified in the book’s publication statement as the publisher of the English translation’s first edition in Great Britain, issued in 2003. Its documented role is part of the work’s publication history across Swedish, American, and British editions.

Publication Role

The publication statement credits The Harvill Press with the first British publication of the English translation in 2003. This establishes its specific connection to the book: it brought the translated work to its first British edition, following earlier publication in other markets.

Place in the Publication Sequence

The statement distinguishes the British edition from the Swedish original, first published as Brandvägg by Ordfront Förlag in Stockholm in 1998, and the English translation’s first publication by The New Press in New York in 2002. The Harvill Press’s 2003 edition therefore followed both the original Swedish publication and the translation’s earlier American edition. The available information identifies this publication role but does not describe the press’s wider organization or other activities.
