The young publisher became known for several books on exile research . The ambitious work on Bohemia and Moravia , which did not use the revisionist cliché of the associations of expellees , was particularly praised . In 2006 the publisher published the first translation of a Slovak novel into German in over ten years, the internationally acclaimed novel Esterházys Lakai by Dušan Šimko .
The most successful author is the cabaret artist Georg Kreisler , whose novel Everything has no end was published by Arco Verlag at the 2006 Frankfurt Book Fair . In 2016 the publishing house was awarded the Hotlist Prize for The Geometry of Renunciation by Debora Vogel and for 2020 the publishing house was awarded the Kurt Wolff Prize .
