Taurus has been an exceptional witness to the development of contemporary thought since it was founded in 1955, as well as the intellectual benchmark for generations of Spanish and Latin American readers.

This year, Taurus celebrates its fiftieth anniversary.
Since 1997 it has begun a new phase by adding to its catalogue collections of classic works by authors such as M. Weber, E.M. Cioran, T.W. Adorno, H. Arendt, J. Habermas, W. Benjamin, V. Nabokov, P. Bourdieu, I. Berlin, N. Bobbio, and the new genre of the essay represented by the most recent works of F. Savater, J. Stiglitz, G. Sartori, E. Lledó, J. Watson, J.P. Fusi, M. Burleigh, F. Reinares, A. Glucksmann, J. Barzun, M. Ignatieff, A. Giddens, R. Clarke, A. de Botton, S. Juliá, A. Grijelmo y J. Tusell, among others.

This new range of Taurus publications is aimed at the interdisciplinary reader who wants to learn, form an opinion and talk about different, current issues, and who wants to do it by reading works that are accessible, but nonetheless written with the intellectual rigour expected from specialists in the field. The re-launch of Taurus is allowing the publisher to re-establish the leadership it had for many years in the Spanish cultural scene.
