Librairie Gallimard was the name under which the celebrated French publishing house Éditions Gallimard operated from 1919 to 1961. The company was founded in Paris in 1911 by Gaston Gallimard, along with André Gide and Jean Schlumberger, originally as the publishing arm of the literary review La Nouvelle Revue Française.
Under the Gallimard name, the house became one of the most prestigious and influential publishers in France, home to an extraordinary roster of writers and to many of the defining works of twentieth-century French literature. It published Albert Camus, including The Stranger, among countless other major authors.
Gallimard built a reputation for literary excellence, and its prestigious series, including the renowned Bibliothèque de la Pléiade, set a standard for fine literary publishing. Numerous Nobel laureates and leading French intellectuals appeared on its list.
Now known as Éditions Gallimard and part of the Groupe Madrigall, the house remains one of the leading publishers in France. Its catalog represents a cornerstone of modern French and world literature.
