Europe , subtitled in French, Revue littéraire mensuelle , is a French literary magazine that has been published monthly since 1923 with interruption between 1939 and 1946 until today. Since it was founded, the magazine has been politically left-wing .
history
Europe was founded on February 15, 1923 in Paris by a group of French intellectuals and writers from the Abbaye de Créteil group around Romain Rolland . Albert Crémieux (1885–1954) was appointed first editor. From 1923 to 1928 the writer René Arcos (1880-1959) and the literary critic Léon Bazalgette (1873-1928) took over the editor-in-chief, in 1923/24 together with the Belgian writer Paul Colin. In the 1920s, Europe was one of the leading cultural magazines. Senior editors in the interwar years were among others Jean Prévost , Jean Guéhenno and Jean Cassou . In the 1930s, writers from the intellectual left were among the regular authors, such as Louis Aragon , Jean-Richard Bloch , Paul Éluard , Philippe Soupault , Tristan Tzara and Paul Nizan .
From 1933 the magazine was also one of the intellectual centers for German exiles: texts by Heinrich and Thomas Mann , Alfred Kantorowicz , Joseph Roth , Anna Seghers , Walter Benjamin and Bertolt Brecht were published in Europe . For example, in 1939 (issue No. 197), the French translation of Pierre Abraham Brecht's Scènes de la vie hitlérienne (Scenes from Hitler's Life), a preliminary work for his play Fear and Misery of the Third Reich .
Europe represented the anti-fascist course of the French Communist Party . Communists were among the editors and writers. From 1936 Jean Cassou headed the editorial department, supported by a group of editors around Louis Aragon. The cohesion of the group broke due to the controversies surrounding the Hitler-Stalin Pact , and Cassou decided in September 1939 to suspend further issues of the magazine. It did not appear again until 1946 under his direction.
The journalist and encyclopaedist Pierre Abraham, who was active in the Resistance during the Second World War , served as editor-in-chief from 1949 until his death in 1974. Pierre Gamarra was editor-in-chief from 1974 to 2009 . The poet, translator and essayist Jean-Baptiste Para (* 1956) has headed the editorial team since 2009 .
