It was 2005, when Tommaso and Sante Avagliano gave life to Marlin Editore, the publishing house whose name pays tribute to the mythical swordfish that Hemingway loved to fish off Cuba.

The passion for history and the interest in preserving the memory of events and characters that have left their mark, push Tommaso and Sante Avagliano to focus their attention on fiction inspired by the historical local and non-local past and mehistorical non-fiction, addressing  to an audience that loves reading good stories and is also interested in knowing the historical-social context in which past events took place.
