Sublime books make known the unimaginable universe, or parts thereof, within their pages and further kindle it in the minds of readers. Every great book that we were able to publish at Aleph broke into the light that which had barely been imagined until then. It was at the beginning, and continues to be now, a fundamental reason to exist. Especially in a publishing environment like India, where despite all the ground-breaking trade publishing that has taken place over the last forty years, much remains to be done. We are an ancient civilization, so there is a lot to be written about, and we have hardly begun. We have enough unworked material and unimagined books to keep thousands of writers and dozens of publishers busy for a hundred years. And so, we go on.

Our tenth anniversary year, which begins in January, will be, we hope, our best year yet. As we slowly emerge from the gloom that the pandemic has plunged us into, we trust the brilliance of the books that you find in the pages of this special edition of Book Of Aleph will do their bit to dispel the darkness that surrounds us.
