This year, 2005, the second publishing house established by Jorge Zahar, Jorge Zahar Editor, completes its 20th anniversary. In all, there are over 2,500 titles and almost 50 years of "culture at the service of social progress," as he liked to put it.

Don´t shoot the messenger written by Guest,
February 05, 2005
I really enjoyed the story of how Jorge Zahars parents met and imigrated to brazil . I think the marxist books he published during the military regime proves that the so called censorship during brazils military period is extremely overblown. The sad thing is that the same freedom that led jorge zahars parents to immigrate to brazil and make a livelyhood in this country would be forbiden if marxist ideas were inplace at the time. As for those books having influenced the brazilian youth of the time I agree, a terrible influence. But as the title of my most states " Don´t shoot the messenger". It seems that Mr Jorge Zahar was the son of immigrantes that brought economic progress to brazil via their buisiness and their sons success. Ironically those marxist books and the influence they had on the current brazilian ruling class make such a lovely story a lot less probable. Brazil losses. This is very sad.
