Mesa para dos by Amor Towles

Mesa para dos is a collection of short stories by the American author Amor Towles, published in Spanish as part of the Narrative collection by Ediciones Salamandra. Originally written in English under the title Table for Two, this edition is meticulously crafted for the Spanish-speaking market, specifically under the editorial direction of the Salamandra brand.

Ediciones Salamandra was founded in Barcelona, Spain, in 2000 by Pedro del Carril and Sigrid Kraus. After years of being one of the most prestigious independent publishers in the Spanish-speaking world—notably responsible for the Harry Potter series—it was acquired in 2019 by the global publishing giant Penguin Random House. This ownership transition has integrated the brand into one of the largest media conglomerates in the world.

Today, the brand operates as an imprint under the Penguin Random House Grupo Editorial, which is a subsidiary of the German multinational Bertelsmann. While the intellectual property of the content lies with the American author, the physical production and distribution of this specific edition are managed through the Spanish operations of the parent company, maintaining its heritage as a key player in Spanish literature and translations.
