This EMS volume provides an exposition of the structure theory of Fano varieties, i.e. algebraic varieties with an ample anticanonical divisor. This book will be very useful as a reference and research guide for researchers and graduate students in algebraic geometry.

This two-part volume contains numerous examples and insights on various topics. The authors have taken pains to present the material rigorously and coherently. This book will be immensely useful to mathematicians and graduate students working in algebraic geometry, arithmetic algebraic geometry, complex analysis and related fields.
