Eleuthera is a Greek word that means «free». But it is also the name that was given to a small island in the Bahamas by the Eleutherians, a heretical British sect, who in the 17th century had to flee from Europe due to religious persecutions, and established the first independent republic in the New World, thus creating a community of «free and equal men and women».

Therefore, Elèuthera publishes books for a libertarian culture. A living culture, rich in history and potential, the ferment as well as the product of the most advanced critics to the hyerarchical principle, to the domination as a way of shaping the society, of living and thinking oneself and the others.

Elèuthera works to make out of every new published book a tessera of a mosaic it is going to develop – a mosaic that will remain unfinished, as open as the mosaic of freedom is.
