About

Michele K. Troy discusses the Albatross Press. A precursor to Penguin, Albatross was literally a strange bird when it emerged in 1932: a complete cultural outsider to the Third Reich but an economic insider. Funded by British-Jewish interests, Albatross made affordable to continental readers reprints of modern English and American mysteries, biographies and edgier novels. Two of Albatross's three leaders were Jewish and its director was rumored to be working for British intelligence. Yet to exploit the lucrative German market, Albatross dug its roots into Germany. Albatross printed and sold its books in English from the heart of Hitler's Reich. Part of the Washington Area Group for Print Culture Studies series hosted by the Library's Rare Books and Special Collections Division and convened by Sabrina Baron and Eleanor Shevlin.
