Expathos Print Publishing

“Freedom of the press is guaranteed only to those who own one.”
— A.J. Liebling

Expathos Print Press was founded to accompany the web publishing projects currently undertaken at the Free Press Group and Expathos web publishing in general. And like the core ethos of FPG - the On Demand publishing services of Expathos were designed to get the word of progressive writers out into Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, book and mortar stores and libraries around the world.

We are willing to publish books that may be too controversial for a mainstream publisher, nor designed for a mass McAudience. We publish books because we like too. We publish books for english-writing Europeans who often find publishing companies in their own language and countries adverse to taking on the literary anglosphere.

We select books on quality, prepare them for publishing, publicize them, and get them out on Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble and other places online.

Is Expathos Press a Free Press? Yes, yes, emphatically yes ... although we are not in a position to publish free books. Please contact for pricing and proposal.

Empire Burlesque - Chris Floyd

The Secret History of the Bush Regime From the Award-Winning journalist comes a much-anticipated collection of his penetrating and prescient coverage of the Bush Administration. Never has the American Republic stood in such a degraded state as it does today: terrorized, militarized, subjected to arbitrary rule, riddled with corruption, despised and feared around the world - and more exposed to attack than ever before. How the hell did we get here? Empire Burlesque tells the tale, giving us the secret history of the Bush Regime - the backroom deals, the covert ops, and the monstrous betrayals of American principles that have gone down behind the pious rhetoric and sugary deceptions.

The Chronicles of Nefaria - Dr. William C. Cook

"The Chronicles of Nefaria" is short fiction, Kafkaesque in attitude, drawing on current events happening in the mid-east, metamorphosed into a surreal world that exemplifies the horror of leaders devoid of humanity. The story begins on the first day of the Sacred Season of Forgiveness and Retribution. A Patient, the Prime Minister of Nefaria, lies immobile in a hospital bed, able to hear and think but unable to see, touch or feel anything. He moves in and out of consciousness responding to voices and sounds. He's attended to by a nurse, an Elusian girl from the occupied territory that Nefaria controls. The novel covers the seven days of the sacred season. It is a fictional work based on real events and real people. Yet its purpose is to serve as a metaphor for the conditions we face in our world, a world unfortunately that has not advanced beyond ancient superstitions and medieval beliefs. Power rules and destroys both the conquered and the conqueror.

A Quest for Hope (Coming Soon) - Jan Chr. Vaessen

Searching for ways out of postmodern nihilism into new reality - Being a Christian theologian interested in philosophical questions, I want to serve three goals with this book. First, I want to locate modern Western thought patterns emerging out of a specific underlying worldview in a broader perspective that also includes premodern (naïve) and postmodern (nihilistic) thought with their respective worldviews. Second, I want to investigate the close relationship of these modern models of thought with various models of interpretation and give some tools for interpreting reality or (Bible) texts that focus on this – in many ways transcendent - reality. Third, I would like to search in Hebrew patterns of thought for an alternative to postmodern nihilism.

Notions of truth and normativity change through the different stages of Western thought - as expressed by different philosophical systems - with the worldviews that generate this thought. Modernism with its development of hermeneutics - different models of interpretation – does not stand on itself. As a radical criticism on premodern naivety it has in turn attracted radical criticism upon itself by the postmoderns. Already within the modern era factual truth retreats more and more from human control until in postmodernism it vanishes completely. And so I think it is time to have a closer look at modern interpretation of Western thinking so deeply rooted in a form of Christianity that was informed by the ancients Greeks. As Western thinking is apparently - although I think not necessarily - annihilating itself in postmodern radical criticism, why not look for alternative notions of truth and normativity outside of Western thought as well?

Living for several years in an African country has taught me to look at reality from a non-Western point of view; and there I also learned to read the Christian Old Testament as TeNaCh, as the Hebrew Bible, that is as a thoroughly non-Western document. The problem of how to respond to postmodern nihilism in a relaxed and creative way has kept me busy during the recent years and has become the main theme of this book. Hebrew thinking offers itself, among others, as a fascinating source for such a response
