The modern French book business is characterized by the monopolization of all its branches.

The bulk of the capital in the field of book business, book trade and printing production is concentrated in the hands of large firms: Libreri Ashette, Larousse, Gaston Gallimard and others. Along with them, there are many small ones that are constantly on the verge of bankruptcy. The process of concentration of capital in the book business is intensifying. This is also evidenced by the fact that more than 80% of total number publishing houses. In the 70s. In the 20th century, there were 374 publishing houses, of which 175 were small publishing houses employing less than 5 people, and only 22 publishing houses had more than 100 people.

Represents and defends the interests of the French book business "Society of Publishers and Booksellers". In 1892, under his auspices, the "National Syndicate of French Publishers" (Le Syntat national des Editeurs) was founded, uniting the vast majority of publishers. In 1950, the Guarantee Society of French Publishers was created, which provides loans from banks on favorable terms. There are four groups of publishing houses according to the type of organization of book sales: leading the direct sale of books to shops; organizing a separate book distribution service [for example, the Forum cooperative, which unites a number of publishers]; outsourcing the distribution of products to another publishing company or a special organization that has its own bookstores.

The modern book market in France, with its well-formed structure and well-established links between publishers, book warehouses and shops, can simultaneously offer the reader more than 350,000 book titles. Every year about 40,000 new book titles appear in France. What place does the Russian book occupy in this stream? Russian-French literary and book ties span more than one century. Today, specialists and lovers of Russian literature in France, thanks to the accumulated publishing funds and a flexible book supply system, have the opportunity to form a fairly complete library of fiction, history, philosophy, economics and other areas, compiled from books by Russian authors on French.

The bulk of the books by Russian authors (more than 70% of all publications) are works of fiction. At the same time, preference is given to the prose works of contemporary writers. Journalism and history made up about 10% of books (21 titles), books on art - 8% (17 titles), there is practically no children's literature.

The most published Russian author in France is F.M. Dostoevsky (15 books in 2 years), followed by V.V. Nabokov (10 books), A.P. Chekhov (9 books), M.A. Bulgakov (8 books). Most often these are reprints or reprints in pocket format.

The main interest for French publishers is contemporary Russian literature. They closely follow the new names that appear in our literary firmament, and translate and publish their works with enviable efficiency. Sometimes it turns out that only after being published in the West, the book acquires the right to be published in Russia (for example, the novel by O. Strizhak "The Boy" or "Poor Relatives" by L. Ulitskaya).

In 1994-95 the most popular contemporary Russian writer was Nina Berberova. During these years, four French publishing houses published nine of her books. In poetry, Tsvetaeva is most popular. Her books were published by Souterraine, Rivagesii Librairie du Globe.

Among the poetic novelties, one cannot fail to note the Anthology of Russian Poetry (November 1995), published by the Gallimard publishing house. The book's editor, Katia Granoff, has translated more than 84 Russian poets, from Lomonosov to the present day. The efforts of the translator were noted by the French Academy.

The publication of dramatic works occupies an insignificant place, this genre of literature is intended more for professionals than for the general reader. In France, there are a number of specialized theater publishing houses, such as Arche, Librairie theatrale, Actes Sud / Papier, L "Avantscene, Theater, etc. But in the mid-90s, only one of them - Actes Sud / Papier - appeared new editions Russian plays: N.V. Gogol, "Inspector", "Marriage", "Players".

Many literary publishers have theater series or sub-series, such as "Folio theater" (Gallimard). They publish mainly the works of Russian classics: M.Yu. Lermontov, "Masquerade" (Imprimerie Nationale, series "Repertoire Comedie Française"); A.P. Chekhov, "The Cherry Orchard" (Ed.de 1 "Aube); M.A. Bulgakov, "Adam and Eve" (Dumerchez, "Scene" series). summer in Chulimsk” was published by L “Age d” Homme (series “Theatre vivant”).

All novelties in the field of fine arts are associated with the Flammarion and L "Age d" Homme publishing houses.

In 1994-1995 books by two famous Russian film directors were published. The Seuil publishing house has collected under the heading "7 visions" ("Sept visions") seven scenarios by Sergei Parajanov. Cahiers du cinema, recognized as the most intelligent French cinema publication, also publishes about 12 books a year on film and photography. This magazine published the Diary of Andrei Tarkovsky. 1970-1985".

Publishing house Arthaud, publishes a series of guides "Guides Artaud" to Russian cities for travelers with low incomes. Its peculiarity lies in the fact that it was written by a person "from here", a professional Moscow translator, author of a number of manuals in French, Albert Andunyan.

The oldest French publishing house Gallimard, founded in 1911, is the largest publishing house managed by the direct descendants of its founder, Gaston Gallimard. Its catalog contains more than 13,000 titles, among which the works of Russian authors occupy a firm place. In the 1920s and 1930s, this publishing house published many Russian emigrants, such as Z. Gippius, Nobel laureate 1933 I. Bunin, A. Remizov and others.

Callimard is the main publisher of Russian literature in France. The names of Russian authors are found in many series published by the publishing house: the classics of Russian literature are included in the mass series of pocket books "Folio" and "Folio bilingue", as well as in the elite, with a detailed reference apparatus, the Pleiade series, the L "lmaginaire" series , "Poesie/Gallimard" Modern authors appear in the "Du monde entier" and "Arcades" series.

In the Folio pocket series, you can find the names of all the major Russian writers of the 19th century.

The Folio bilingue series is divided into several sub-series with parallel texts in French and the original language. The first Russian authors included in it were N.V. Gogol and I.S. Turgenev, and then the books of F.M. Dostoevsky ("The Gentle One" and "The Dream of a Ridiculous Man") and a collection of stories by A.P. Chekhov ("The Lady with the Dog", "The Bishop", "The Bride").

Since its founding in 1987, this provincial publishing house (headquartered in the city of Arles in southern France) has been focused on translated literature. Its founder, Hubert Nissen, a specialist in the field of book publishing and professional translator, a member of the Association of French Literature Translators (ATLF), set himself the task of "collecting German, Scandinavian, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Greek, Austrian, Belgian and many other texts".

The first translations from Russian appeared in the catalog of his publishing house in 1980, but Nissen achieved a real triumph in 1985 after meeting with N. Berberova and publishing her story The Accompanist. Very quickly, N. Berberova became one of the main authors of the publishing house, her books won the recognition of the French reader.

Following Berberova, the catalog of Actes Sud included works by other Russian writers, mainly representatives of the Russian classical literature XIX century, such as F. Dostoevsky, A. Pushkin, A. Chekhov. New translations of their works were made by André Markovic, who often collaborates with this and other publishing houses.

Flammarion, one of the oldest family publishing houses in France, was founded in 1876 and is now owned by the direct descendants of Ernest Flammarion - Charles-Henri Flammarion, head of the publishing house, and his two brothers. Since 1989, this dynamically developing publishing house has also been present on the Russian book market, releasing translations from its J "ai lu" series of pocket books. In France, the 20th century Russian and Soviet series was created, in which they were published as novels (A. Makanin, "The Man Running", 1991), and journalism (A. Sobchak, "Journey to Power", 1991, in French translation the book was called "Chronique d" une chute annoncee ").

In the 1990s, the publishing house focused on Russian classics. In the "GF-Flammarion" series, focused on the edition the best works French and foreign writers and philosophical texts, the works of A.P. Chekhov, L.N. Tolstoy, F.M. Dostoevsky.

For the first time, translations of contemporary Russian writers appeared in the catalog of the publishing house in 1982. These were the works of A.I. Solzhenitsyn "In the First Circle", "Cancer Ward", "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich". Since then, Solzhenitsyn has been one of the leading authors of the publishing house, his books do not disappear from the catalog. The collected works of A.I. Solzhenitsyn.

The end of the 20th century was marked by the publication of a documentary study of the Ark. Vaksberg "Hotel" Lux ", dedicated to the fate of the delegates of the III International.

It should be noted that the publication of books by both Solzhenitsyn and Vaksber caused a number of publications in special literary and book publications, such as the journal A. Beer "Lire" or the newspaper "Quinzaine litteraire", which reviews the most interesting and significant novelties of the French book publishing.

After English, German (series "Der Doppelgan-ger"), Spanish (series "Otra Memoria") and Italian (series "Terra d" Altri) literature, the Verbier publishing house began in 1992 with the Russian series, giving it the name "Slovo ". Its leader, Helen Chatelain, translator of A.P. Chekhov, A. Amalrik and B. Pasternak, was the organizer of numerous demonstrations, film and video screenings about Russian dissidents. The first book in her series was a collection of stories by S. Krzhizhanovsky ("Marque- page", February 1992), then B. Khazanov's novel "Anti-time" appeared. In 1993, "The Letter Killer Club" by S. Krzhizhanovsky and the first part of V. Shalamov's essay "All or Nothing" were published.

LES EDITIONS DE LA LIBRAIRIE DU GLOBE

The Globus Russian book store was opened in Paris in 1953. A small publishing house that exists at the store specializes in publishing encyclopedias, dictionaries, monographs on the Russian language, school linguistic literature, and books on tourism. In 1992, the publishing house decided to start publishing a bilingual series of Russian poetry. It was opened by O. Mandelstam's collections. A. Tarkovsky and F. Tyutchev. In 1993, the series was replenished with the names of A. Akhmatova (the preface to the book of her poems was written by I. Brodsky) and M. Tsvetaeva. The third novelty of 1993 was "The Twelve Chairs" by I. Ilf and E. Petrov.

The Seuil publishing house, which appeared before the Second World War (1935), launched its activities and achieved success after. 1945 Now this large universal publishing house has about 9 thousand titles in its catalog. Every year it prepares for publication approximately 450 new books. In addition to the already mentioned collection of scenarios by S. Parajanov, published in the Fiction & Cie series, the publishing house released M. Bulgakov's story Morphine (Points Roman pocket series), Dead Souls» N.V. Gogol (series "L "ecole des lettres"), "A Novel Without Lies" by A. Mariengof (series "Le don des langues").

The publishing house was established in 1901. It now has a catalog of 6,000 titles and publishes about 380 books a year. Within its framework, there is a series "Domaine russe", which is directed by the translator Lusya Katala, who actively collaborates with contemporary Russian writers. Thanks to her efforts, books by F. Abramov, V. Astafiev, Z. Boguslavskaya, Yu. Dombrovsky, Ven. Erofeev, M. Kuraev, A. Rybakov, A. Strizhak and others.

Russian novelties also appeared in the publishing houses of S. Bourgois, Belles lettres, Circe, Denoel Difference, Griot and others.

characteristic feature modern stage there was a decrease in the interest of French publishers in modern Russian literature. This is due to the absence, despite the appearance a large number new names, such significant figures in our literature as, for example, A.I. Solzhenitsyn, whose works, which appeared in the 70s in the West, captivated the European reader, as well as the difficulties experienced in last years French book publishing. These reasons make publishers turn to the classics as a less risky and cheaper option.

Based on the foregoing, we can say that a rare French publishing house did not contribute to the increase in the production of books in the country as a whole. French readers pay great attention to the books of Russian authors, which are published by a number of publishers: GALLIMARD, ACTES SUD, FLAMMARION, FA YARD, VERDIER, SEUIL, etc. But due to a number of reasons listed above, the attention of French publishers is directed to Russian classics , as the most proven option.

Thus, the modern book market in France, with its well-formed structure and well-established links between publishers, book warehouses and shops, is constantly growing despite economic difficulties. The country's book market is characterized by the monopolization of all its branches. The book publishing system is decentralized and multi-type. Publishing houses are divided into state and commercial, literature in them is issued in all branches of knowledge. Most of the publications (approx. 70%) are produced in offset, the remaining 30% - intaglio or letterpress. But now the emergence of new technical means completely replaced the offset printing process with digital typesetting.

Among the publications, the paperback segment is developing most dynamically. Poketbooks and comics are well implemented. The main consumers of the book are: the mass reader, people of science and technology and wealthy people - bibliophiles, collectors.

70% of books are sold through stores of various types, and 30% through various non-store trade channels.

In the country, every third store is private, in Paris there are charity shops organized by various societies.

Most modern form book trade are voluntary associations of subscribers, the so-called book clubs. Their work is characterized by advertisements for books intended for printing, the collection of consumer opinions, auctions and bookstores on television. Funds from publishers and wholesalers are raised to open Printing Houses.

Of no small importance is the export of French books. Russian-French book ties are successfully developing and strengthening. The main part of the books by Russian authors published in France is devoted to the current state of Russia, the political situation in the country, and the main events of Russian history. A significant number of publishing houses have in their catalogs books translated from Russian.

But recently, export statistics indicate a decrease in the interest of French book publishers in modern Russian literature. The main reason for this situation is the absence of significant figures in our literature. In this regard, the priority of French publishers is directed to Russian classics, as a less risky and cheaper option.

The third factor in the changes taking place today is the changing relationship between the reader and the book. The relationship of owning a book has shifted to a relationship of using the book. Or in another way: from the attitude of pleasure to the demand for the effectiveness and applicability of book information. The book ceases to be a fetish, becoming one of the means to achieve goals. Thus, we can say that the process of desacralization of the book is taking place. All these factors of change have a decisive influence on the idea of how books should be published. (19, p. 4)

Thus, despite the economic difficulties, the French book market does not slow down and continues to increase the number of publications produced. The paperback segment is developing most dynamically, with pocketbooks and comics selling well. Publications are sold through bookstores or through non-traditional distribution channels - book clubs and Press Houses.

There has been some decline in interest in foreign literature, but despite this, an important role in the French book market is given to books by Russian authors.

2.2. French publishing houses that publish books by Russian authors.

The modern French book business is characterized by the monopolization of all its branches.

The bulk of the capital in the field of book business, book trade and printing production is concentrated in the hands of large firms: Libreri Ashette, Larousse, Gaston Gallimard and others. Along with them, there are many small ones that are constantly on the verge of bankruptcy. The process of concentration of capital in the book business is intensifying. This is also evidenced by the fact that more than 80% of the total number of publishing houses are concentrated in Paris. In the 70s. In the 20th century, there were 374 publishing houses, of which 175 were small publishing houses employing less than 5 people, and only 22 publishing houses had more than 100 people. (12, p. 570)

You can't talk about Paris without mentioning art. This city breathes fantasy and creativity. If I were to rank the most popular French art forms, then I would put literature in the first place.

Nowhere in the world do books read with such interest as in Paris. Do you need proof? Get on the subway and see. The Parisians have in their hands the novelties of the literary season - always paper, no e-books!
