Description

The stamp Muchnik Publishers created on 1973 under Mario's Muchnik direction oriented to the edition of contemporary authors of the Hispanic literature. The first book edited by Muchnik was the Y otros poemas of Jorge Guillén, printed in Mexico and was distribuit in Spain.

From 1991 it happened to belong to the Group Anaya under the denomination Anaya-Mario Muchnik and opened new lines of publications in which authors predominated of the spanish and catalan literature. In 1997 changes the name of the stamp to Muchnik Publishers. In 1998 the Group Anaya sold the stamp to the Group 62 that kept it as a stamp in the Group. With this acquisition, the Group 62 consolidated the line in spanish and expanded the presence of his catalogue of authors. Moreover, ceased to publish in catalan because the Group already had other stamps devoted.

The 2002 Muchnik Publishers was renamed as Aleph and initiated a new stage focused to the translation of essay on literature. Nowadays, this stamp still finds active with the Group Planet.

Along his path his catalogue features of some 600 titles. In his collections stand out  novel and narrative of classical and contemporary authors, literary biographies, memories and daily.
