 In the 1880s, the "Livraria Americana", originally set up in Pelotas, by Carlos Pinto, had several translations of foreign authors, not always with permission of the authors.Such cases, and many others, led to a reaction by the authors and the government, and began to establish laws in order to preserve those rights.The origins of Editora Globo belong to this time, but the publisher did not start a regular program of editions in 1928.
