Editora Globo S.A. Portuguese pronunciation: [e.d͡ʒiˈto.ɾɐ ˈɡlo.bu]; lit. 'Globe Publishing Company') is a Brazilian publishing house, property of Fundação Roberto Marinho. It began as a bookstore called Livraria do Globo ([li.vɾaˈɾi.ɐ du ˈɡlo.bu]; lit. 'Bookshop of the Globe'), created in Porto Alegre, in December 1883, by Laudelino Pinheiro de Barcellos and Saturnino Alves Pinto.

History

The bookstore "Livraria do Globo" began as a little store located at "Rua da Praia" Number 268. Livraria do Globo was open daily from 6:30 am to 10:00 pm, including Saturdays. After some business success the bookstore started working as a copy and paperwork center, doing bookbindings and other small services, the building where it was located underwent a slight remodeling.[1]

Its first branch store was created in Santa Maria, near the old ferryway center of Rio Grande do Sul. The "Livraria do Globo's" owners decided to create their own magazine, called "Revista do Globo".

In the 1940s, the bookstore company reached its highest success, with three branch stores in Brazil's South Region and offices in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. In 1986, the bookstore was sold to Rio Gráfica Editora, property of Fundação Roberto Marinho, who decided to rename its publishing house to Editora Globo, as it is still named.
