The Éditions Gallimard is a major French publishing house. It has its headquarters in the street named after the publisher's founder, Gaston Gallimard , in the 7th arrondissement in Paris . The publishing house was founded in Paris in 1911 under the aegis of Gaston Gallimard, André Gide and Jean Schlumberger in connection with the publication of the Nouvelle Revue Française .
The Éditions Gallimard is generally one of the most prestigious and influential French language publishing houses. The publisher's authors include 38 Nobel Prize alumni , 36 Prix Goncourt winners, and 10 Pulitzer Prize graduates .
history
The publishing house was founded in 1911 by Gaston Gallimard , who, together with André Gide and Jean Schlumberger, had the idea of adding a book publisher to the then three-year-old magazine Nouvelle Revue Française . The first three books - L'Otage (Die Geisel) by Paul Claudel , Isabelle by André Gide and La Mère et l'enfant by Charles-Louis Philippe - appeared in June 1911 under the publisher's name Les Éditions de la Nouvelle Revue Française (NRF) . The stylized logo nrf is derived from this and can still be found on many of the publisher's titles today.
After the Second World War, Marcel Duhamel founded the Série noire (“Black Series”) at Gallimard Verlag , a French series of detective novels of American origin, the so-called “Thrillers”. This independent, French-influenced genre was largely responsible for the rapid development of Roman noir in France.
Editions Gallimard has been owned by the parent holding Groupe Madrigall since 1992 . Since 2015, in addition to Gallimard, this has also included Flammarion and other publishing houses. The company is run by the founder's grandson, Antoine Gallimard. According to The Guardian , Editions Gallimard still benefited in 2000 from André Gide, who, as a talent scout, created the best " backlist " in the international publishing business. In 2003 alone, the publisher published 1,418 individual titles. The current publishing program comprises a total of around 17,000 titles by around 7,000 authors, including:
- Marcel Proust , André Gide , Milan Kundera , Georges Simenon , Saint-John Perse , Antonin Artaud , Jean-Paul Sartre , Simone de Beauvoir , Albert Camus , Louis-Ferdinand Céline , Jean Genet , René Char , Louis Aragon , Pierre Klossowski , Élisabeth Gille , André Malraux , Léo Malet , Philippe Djian , Jean-Claude Izzo , Antoine de Saint-Exupéry , Raymond Queneau , Marguerite Yourcenar , Eugène Ionesco , Georges Schehadé , Nathalie Sarraute , Marguerite Duras , Jean-Patrick Manchette , Pascal Quignard , Michel Tournier , Patrick Modiano , Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio , Lydie Salvayre and Édouard Glissant .
In 2003 the company had a turnover of 226 million euros with 1,000 employees. In 2011, the Bibliothèque nationale de France held an exhibition on the history of publishing on the occasion of the centenary.
Gallimard intended to reissue the anti-Semitic pamphlets Bagatelle pour un massacre (1937), L'École des cadavres (1938) and Les Beaux Draps (1941) by Louis-Ferdinand Céline in 2018. This led to violent opposition in France. Although the publisher promised to publish these texts only with detailed commentary and a corresponding foreword, at a time of increasing anti-Semitic incidents, critical voices, such as Serge Klarsfeld , founder and president of the Association des fils et filles des déportés juifs de France , raised the danger of such a company. On January 11, 2018, editor Antoine Gallimard reacted to the protests and discontinued the project.
