Overview

Geração Editorial is a Brazilian publishing house headquartered in São Paulo, founded in 1992 during the São Paulo Book Biennial. From its inception, the publisher specialized in releasing controversial books, particularly works of political journalism and exposés concerning prominent Brazilian political figures and scandals. Notable titles include "A República na Lama" by journalist José Nêumanne Pinto about the fall of former president Fernando Collor de Mello; "Mil Dias de Solidão," also about Collor and one of the best-sellers of 1993; "Memórias das Trevas" about Antônio Carlos Magalhães; "Honoráveis Bandidos" by Palmério Dória about the Sarney clan, particularly José Sarney, which spent 19 weeks on Veja magazine's best-seller list in 2009; "Memorial do Escândalo" about the Mensalão scandal; "Lula do Brasil: a História Real, do Nordeste ao Planalto," which had to be withdrawn by court order and relaunched due to its similarity to the movie poster for "Lula, o Filho do Brasil"; "A Privataria Tucana" by Amaury Ribeiro Junior about the privatizations of the FHC government and José Serra; and "Nos Bastidores do Reino de Deus: A Vida Secreta na Igreja Universal do Reino de Deus" by Mário Justino, about the routine of a former pastor and his life within the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God. Since 2000, the publisher has expanded its catalog to include books of general interest as well.
