Ediciones Península

Description

Founded in 1964 by Josep M. Castellet under the aegis of Edicions 62, Ediciones Península was created with the goal of becoming a benchmark publishing house for the humanities and social sciences. It is part of Grup 62, which is currently part of the Grupo Planeta.

Over its more than 50 years of existence, the publishing house has earned a reputation as a specialised imprint of not only works in the humanities and social sciences but also biographies, travel books and essays on international politics and cultural intervention.
