Editora Âyiné

Editora Âyiné is a Brazilian independent publishing house founded in 2013 in Italy by Brazilian Pedro Fonseca and two Italian partners, Simone Cristoforetti and Dhuane Fabbris. The project began with the launch of Revista Âyiné in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, on 31 January 2013, a magazine focused on Islamic cultures and societies, reflecting Fonseca's expertise in Persian literature. Shortly after, Fonseca returned to Venice, where he had been living, and together with his Italian partners founded the publishing house at the end of 2013. Initially, Fonseca himself translated texts and essays. The publisher is known for its carefully curated catalog of classic and contemporary authors, with a strong emphasis on literature, philosophy, and essays. Its collections include Piccola Biblioteca Âyiné, Das Andere, and Instare, among others. The catalog features international authors such as Hisham Matar, Didier Eribon, Yasmina Reza, and Leonard Michaels, often in Portuguese translation. Âyiné has published multiple works by Didier Eribon, including 'Retorno a Reims' (2020), 'A sociedade como veredito' (2022), 'Vida, velhice e morte de uma mulher do povo' (2024), and 'Sociobiografia' (2026). The publisher operates primarily in the Brazilian market, selling through its official website and possibly other channels. Its website offers discounts, a bargain section ('Bazar'), and a catalog of titles. Âyiné is recognized as a Brazilian publisher, as indicated by Wikidata. The company remains private and independent, with no publicly known parent company or owner beyond its founders. It continues to publish new titles and maintain an active presence in the Brazilian literary scene.

Editora Âyiné was founded in 2013 in Italy by Brazilian Pedro Fonseca and two Italians, Simone Cristoforetti and Dhuane Fabbris. The initiative began with the launch of Revista Âyiné on 31 January 2013 in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, by Pedro Fonseca and a group of collaborators and friends from Minas Gerais. The magazine focused on Islamic cultures and societies, which was Fonseca's main area of study; he is a specialist in Persian literature. Soon after the magazine's launch, Fonseca returned to Venice, where he had already been living for several years, and together with his two Italian partners founded the publishing house at the end of 2013. Initially, Fonseca himself translated the texts and essays. The publisher has since grown into a recognized independent house in Brazil, publishing classic and contemporary authors from around the world. Its catalog includes collections such as Piccola Biblioteca Âyiné, Das Andere, and Instare. Notable publications include works by Didier Eribon, such as 'Retorno a Reims' (2020), 'A sociedade como veredito' (2022), 'Vida, velhice e morte de uma mulher do povo' (2024), and 'Sociobiografia' (2026). The publisher continues to operate from Brazil, with an active online store and a diverse list of titles.
