MORE THAN 47 YEARS OF IDEAS AND ADVENTURES
L&PM Editores was founded on August 24, 1974 by Paulo de
Almeida Lima and Ivan Pinheiro Machado. The publishing house was organized
for the launching of the book Rango 1 [a Brazilian slang equivalent to
‘grub’, or just ‘food’ or ‘meal’ *], by the drawer and cartoonist Edgar
Vasques. It was the time of dictatorship, previous

PERSECUTION ALONG THE MILITARY REGIME
A RESPECTABLE CATALOGUE
Starting by the end of the 1970s and the early 1980s, L&PM went on publishing the works of Luis Fernando Verissimo with Ed Mort, in 1979. Then in 1981 there was the great boom of O analista de Bagé [The Analyst from Bagé], the most successful book in the decade. Luis Fernando Verissimo remained with L&PM until 2001, and has published a total of 36 books here. Still by the end of the 1970s L&PM’s editorial project gained the works by Moacyr Scliar with O exército de um homem só [The One-Man Army], Mario Quintana with Esconderijos do tempo [Hideways of Time] (illustrated by Vitório Gheno), A vaca e o hipogrifo [The Cow and the Hypogryphon], and the republishing of Pé de pilão [Pestle-Footed] (illustrated by Edgar Koetz).

L&PM POCKET Collection: L&PM Back to the FutureAmid the financial hardships of the 1990s, L&PM Editores has decided to break with the past and started the construction of its new story with the eyes turned to the future. The market was invaded by multinationals full of money that attracted important authors and began to dictate new rules, where the capital is the great protagonist. Hit seriously by such predatory process, L&PM’s bet was that to survive in such market, it would need to create new products and new markets. Then the L&PM POCKET Collection made its appearance in 1997.

have been added through the L&PM POCKET Collection. Among the Brazilians we have published great authors in the pocket size, such as Lygia Fagundes Telles, Cecília Meireles, Manuel Bandeira, Mario Quintana, Nélida Piñon, Marina Colasanti, Affonso Romano de Sant’Anna, Dalton Trevisan, Deonísio da Silva, Mario Prata, and many others. Among the modern international authors we have published J. D. Salinger, Graham Greene, Henry Miller, Truman Capote, Agatha Christie, Georges Simenon, Kurt Vonnegut, Virginia Woolf, Isaac Asimov, John Fante, E. M. Remarque, Patricia Highsmith, Ruth Rendell, Raymond Chandler, Dashiel Hammett, Chester Himes, Adolfo Bioy Casares, Jorge Luis Borges, Mario Benedetti, Carlos Fuentes, Norman Mailer, and the Nobel winners Pablo Neruda, Isaac Bashevis Singer, Naguib Mahfuz, John Steinbeck, Bertrand Russell, Rudyard Kipling, and many others. In the classics area we have launched the main Brazilian authors and translated or retranslated important international authors like Balzac, Stendhal, Dostoyevsky, J. Swift, Dante Alighieri, Cervantes, Conan Doyle, Edgar Allan Poe, William Shakespeare, Alexander Dumas, Nicolai Gogol, Marcel Proust, Oscar Wilde, Robert L. Stevenson, H. Melville, Flaubert, Joseph Conrad, Jules Verne, Sophocles, Plutarch, Aeschylus, Aesop, Plato, Homer, Schopenhauer, Rimbaud, and many others.
THE GREATEST POCKET BOOKS COLLECTION IN BRAZILIn 2008 L&PM Editores has commemorated the expressive figure of 8 million pocket books sold through an extremely complex distribution chain that reaches every corner in Brazil, from Chuí to Manaus. There are more than 700 titles following careful technical and editorial criteria. In the L&PM POCKET Collection readers will always find some book of their predilection. There they are, the greatest authors of the world literature, both classic and modern (see L&PM POCKET Series, and the complete catalogue in this site).
Besides
the joint work for publishing the works of Agatha Christie and Georges
Simenon, the publishers have entered very important partnerships, such as
with Lexikon for publishing reference works like Dicionário Caldas Aulete
[Caldas Aulete Dictionary], the Dicionário de dificuldades da língua
portuguesa [Dictionary of Difficulties of the Portuguese Language], by
Domingos Pascoal Cegalla, the Gramática do português contemporâneo
[Grammar of Contemporary Portuguese], by Celso Cunha, among others. In early
2008 a partnership was attained, with Editora Rocco, for the publication of
great authors of the modern international literature, such as Michael
Crichton, Anne Rice, Valerio Massimo Manfredi, Tom Wolfe, Frances Mayes,
Daniel Pennac, among others.
“Série Ouro” [Gold Series] and other projectsOnce the L&PM POCKET Collection is consolidated and its development projected for the coming five years, the publisher has decided to invest an expressive amount so as to retake its actuation in the area of traditional books (14x21cm and 16x23cm formats). The prompt result was the publication of the best-sellers Marcas de Nascença [Fault Lines], by Nancy Huston, Os homens (às vezes, infelizmente) sempre voltam [Men (sometimes, unfortunately) always come back], by Penélope Parker, História dos Treze [History of the Thirteen], by Honoré de Balzac, Cidade pequena, cidade grande [The Town and The City], by Jack Kerouac, the best biography of Jean-Paul Sartre, by Annie Cohen-Solal, books by Charles Bukowski, Anaïs Nin, Woody Allen, Dashiell Hammett, Martha Medeiros, among many other important writers. Also in the traditional formats division the “Série Ouro” [Gold Series] has been created, with 16x23cm format books, hardcover and jacket, which will present great anthologies and texts of the world literature. The first volumes launched were Shakespeare – Obras escolhidas [Shakespeare’s Chosen Works], with twelve plays by the greatest playwright of all times and Machado de Assis – Três romances [Machado de Assis – Three novels], with the three best novels from the renowned Brazilian writer Machado de Assis. There are many people in L&PM Editores’ story. A huge legion of collaborators, staff members, and authors have contributed for this 47-year old story. And 47 years later, L&PM has consolidated as one of the great Brazilian publishers, with the same partnership, building a great cultural project and fully turned toward the future, with the commitment of renewing and innovating all the time.
