Autêntica Publishing Group
FROM A PUBLISHING COMPANY TO A PUBLISHING GROUP
Autêntica Editora enters 2015 with over 1,000 titles in its catalog. Recognized for its work with the academic public and by its books for the fields in Human Sciences, the company became the Publishing Group Autêntica in 2012. Part of our achievements and trajectory is present-ed below.
AUTÊNTICA
In addition to investing in the quality of its publications and in the commitment to its readers, Autêntica is established as a publisher allied to educators, researchers and other agents involved with education in its various aspects. Since 2008, with the launch of the children’s division coordinated by writer and publisher Sonia Junqueira, Autêntica came to publish thoughtful books for children: playful, attractive and with appropriate language. The evidence of a careful selection of titles is the choice of children’s books by governmental educational departments from various Brazilian states. The National Program of School Library (PNBE) has chosen various Autêntica children’s books as well.
GUTENBERG
Gutenberg was created in 2003 as a label to cover books of general interest and fiction. Faithful to the Group’s perspective of launching innovative and quality books, and at the same time to meet the de-mands of its diverse public, Gutenberg extended its operations and currently has more than 200 titles in its catalog. They are books of fiction and of general interest that are present in all major bookstores in the country and also in school libraries. In 2012, a more vigorous effort was directed towards both the international prospecting of titles and the appreciation of national authors.
NEMO
Responsible for the genre of comics, Nemo proposes to bring together names of world-famous comics and contemporary Brazilian authors, valuing this precious artistic language. Among the comics that make up the catalog there are adaptations of Shakespeare’s plays and other classic texts such as 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne, and national titles such as The Fight Against Canudos and The Lord of Stories. Teachers see the inclusion of comics in schools as an advancement, and while being most commonly used in the Portuguese language classes – especially in the teaching of figures of speech through comic strips –, these comics are adequate for various school subjects. They may be used, for example, to teach languages, for social awareness and popular education. There are no limits to the application of comics for didactic purposes.
