A life in 50 books
Anthony Cheetham
In November 1966, by way of Mexico City, Eton College, Balliol College, Oxford, and a Norwegian raspberry farm, Anthony Cheetham entered the doors of a publishing company for the first time to begin work as a junior editor. 58 years later he could look back on a career in which he had shaped the landscape of post-war British publishing to a significant degree, having established such prominent and notably successful companies as Century, Orion, Quercus and Head of Zeus, and launched imprints - from Abacus in 1973 to Zephyr in 2017 - that continue to flourish in the third decade of the 21st century. Starting with Homer's Odyssey and ending with works by the evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins and the German historian Ernst Kantorowicz, Anthony Cheetham has selected 50 books as mileposts with which to map the course of his long and productive career.
