Pagès Editors

Pagès Editors is a Catalan publishing house founded in 1990 in Lleida by Lluís Pagès Marigot. It was created with the aim of publishing books in the Catalan language and has since released around 2,700 titles, building a substantial editorial catalogue. The company's collections and editorial lines are diverse and have evolved over the years, with each collection directed by professionals in the respective field—historians, philosophers, philologists, technicians, and others. The founder's vision has consistently emphasized serious, rigorous work and a clear commitment to quality in both content and form. In 1996, Pagès Editors created Editorial Milenio, a sister publishing house in Spanish that quickly gained momentum and allowed the company to enter the Spanish and Latin American markets. In 2010, Eulàlia Pagès, daughter of Lluís Pagès, joined the company, marking a generational renewal in the general management. That same year, Nus de Llibres was opened, a distribution platform for titles across the Catalan-speaking territories, Aragon, La Rioja, and Madrid. In 2014, the company made two further leaps: it opened an office in Barcelona and created the Nandibú collection for children's and young adult books, whose first title, Bestiolari by Joana Raspall, became a rapid success. Pagès Editors participates in several international publishing fairs, including the Frankfurt Book Fair, Liber (Barcelona-Madrid), the FIL (Feria Internacional del Libro de Guadalajara), and the Setmana del Llibre en Català, among others. It is a member of the Associació d'Editors en Llengua Catalana. The publisher has released works by notable authors such as Josep Vallverdú, Francesc Torralba, Josep-Lluís Carod-Rovira, Joaquim Carbó, Raimon Panikkar, Jordi Pàmias, Mag Lari, Petros Márkaris, Rosa Fabregat, Jordi Pujol, Pilar Senpau, Manuel de Pedrolo, Miquel Desclot, Guillem Viladot, Carles Hac Mor, Josep M. Morell, Màrius Torres, Ferran Sánchez Agustí, Josep Maria Sans i Travé, Paul Auster, Maria Barbal, Martin Buber, Isak Dinesen, Josep M. Flotats, Jorge L. Tizón, and Josep M. Sala-Valldaura, among others. It also publishes or has published several literary prizes, including the Premi d'assaig Josep Vallverdú, Premi Sant Miquel d'Engolasters d'Andorra, Premi Les Talúries, Premi Vent de Port, Premi Recull de Blanes, Premi Ferran Canyameres, Premi Novel·la breu Ciutat de Mollerussa, Premi 7lletres, Premi de Narrativa Lleida, Premi Màrius Torres, Premi Maria Mercè Marçal, Premi de Poesia Parc Taulí, Premi Grandalla, Premi Jordi Pàmias de Poesia, Premi Mn. Condò Sambeat, Prèmi Aran de Literatura, and the Beca d'Investigació Ernest Lluch. Today, Pagès Editors remains an active independent publisher based in Lleida, with an additional office in Barcelona, and continues to serve the Catalan-language cultural sphere through its print and e-book offerings.
