About Us

Atlantis Publications, established in 2003, is a pioneer in reviving the reading culture in Pakistan—particularly among teenagers. With a focus on Urdu literature, we aim to entertain, enlighten, and empower through meaningful and accessible storytelling.

Our most celebrated achievement is holding the exclusive publishing rights to the legendary Inspector Jamshed series by Ishtiaq Ahmed. This series has become a cultural treasure, sparking curiosity, moral awareness, and a love for reading among generations of Urdu readers.

We are also the proud curators of “Zinda Kitabain”, a flagship initiative that brings to life books that continue to inspire and challenge minds. These “Living Books” focus on:

Biographies of progressive thinkers and change-makers
Powerful poetry collections that reflect society’s conscience
Translations of global classics in science, history, and philosophy
Thoughtful narratives that promote critical thinking, rationalism, and democratic values
