Jean Paulhan 1938

Jean Paulhan (born December 2, 1884 in Nîmes ; died October 9, 1968 in Boissise-la-Bertrand , Seine-et-Marne ) was a French writer and publicist .

Life

After studying at the Sorbonne , Paulhan was a teacher of literature and physical exercise in Antananarivo , the capital of Madagascar, from 1907 to 1910 . After his return he taught Malagasy at the École des langues orientales until the beginning of the First World War . During the war he was a sergeant with the 9th Zouaves and was wounded in December 1914. He was a supporter of the poet and essayist Francis Ponge , in whose parents' house he was at the time.

After the war he first worked for the magazine Littérature and from 1920 as an editor for the Nouvelle Revue Française (NRF). After the death of Jacques Rivière he was editor-in-chief of the NRF from 1925 to 1940.

During the Second World War he worked in the literary branch of the Resistance , a. a. together with Jean-Paul Sartre . After the war he worked with him on the magazine Les Temps Modernes .

He also helped the publisher Jean-Jacques Pauvert 1947–1952 to re- publish the works of de Sade . His secret lover Dominique Aury wrote under the pseudonym Pauline Réage the erotic novel History of O , which Pauvert published in 1954, Paulhan wrote a foreword to it. Pauvert and Paulhan kept the real identity of the author secret.

When the NRF was able to appear again in 1953, Paulhan was again editor-in-chief and remained so until 1963. Since he was also editor at Gallimard , the most important literary publisher in France, for over 40 years , his influence on French literature of the 20th century can be can hardly be overestimated. On January 24, 1963 he became a member of the Académie française .

His estate is in the Institut mémoires de l'édition contemporaine (IMEC).
