The formal entry of the brand into the Portuguese market will materialize in a catalogue developed specifically for national readers, bringing together works of fiction and non-fiction, both national and international, the publisher revealed in a statement.

Created almost nine decades ago with the purpose of "making literature accessible to all," Penguin has built a legacy marked by "editorial diversity" and the "democratization of reading."

Among the authors already confirmed for the new catalogue are names such as A.C. Grayling, Anne Tyler, Carlo Rovelli, Dan Jones, Elizabeth Gilbert, Emma Holten, Filipa Fonseca Silva, Gabor Maté, Jason Stanley, Katherine Pangonis, Kiran Desai, Maria Francisca Gama, Mafalda Santos, and Pedro Vieira, to which “many others will be added, including new voices debuting under this imprint.”

With offerings ranging from fiction to nonfiction, from classics to contemporary literature, from crime to fantasy, from essays to narratives of real lives, Penguin presents itself, in the publisher's words, as “a catalogue for all readers.”

Clara Capitão, editorial director of Penguin Random House Portugal, considers this launch to mark a reinforcement of the group's strategy in the country.

“With the creation of a Portuguese catalogue bearing the stamp of this globally renowned brand, we are taking another step towards reinforcing our commitment to editorial quality and diversity, criteria that have always shaped Penguin's editorial spirit,” she said.

The new imprint will join other imprints of the group in Portugal, such as Alfaguara, Cavalo de Ferro, Companhia das Letras, Elsinore, and Penguin Clássicos.

Penguin Random House Portugal is part of the Penguin Random House Grupo Editorial, headquartered in Barcelona, ​​part of the international Penguin Random House group.

With more than 300 imprints on six continents and a presence in more than 20 countries, the group publishes more than 15,000 titles annually and sells more than 600 million books, counting in its catalogue more than 80 authors distinguished with the Nobel Prize.
