Alianza Editorial is a Spanishpublishing house founded in 1966 byJosé Ortega Spottorno, "with the idea of serving the intellectual aspirations of Spanish society of the time and represents a reference for various generations of readers who have known authors such as Clarín, Jorge Luis Borges, Bertolt Brecht, Marcel Proust, Sigmund Freud, García Lorca, Albert Camus, Heinrich Heine, Hermann Hesse and Franz Kafka".[1] Since 1989,Alianza has belonged toGrupo Anaya and is among other brands,Cátedra,Algaida,Eudemo andEdiciones Siruela—which, in turn, is part ofHachette Livre, of theLagardère Group.
