Jacques Schiffrin changed the face of publishing in the twentieth century. As the founder of Les Éditions de la Pléiade in Paris and cofounder of Pantheon Books in New York, he helped define a lasting canon of Western literature while also promoting new authors who shaped transatlantic intellectual life. In this first biography of Schiffrin, Amos Reichman tells the poignant story of a remarkable publisher and his dramatic travails across two continents.Just as he influenced the literary trajectory of the twentieth century, Schiffrin's life was affected by its tumultuous events. Born in Baku in 1892, he fled after the Bolsheviks came to power, eventually settling in Paris, where he founded the Pléiade, which published elegant and affordable editions of literary classics as well as leading contemporary writers. After Vichy France passed anti-Jewish laws, Schiffrin fled to New York, later establishing Pantheon Books with Kurt Wolff, a German exile. Following Schiffrin's death in 1950, his son André continued in his father's footsteps, preserving and continuing a remarkable intellectual and cultural legacy at Pantheon. In addition to recounting Schiffrin's life and times, Reichman describes his complex friendships with prominent figures including André Gide, Jean-Paul Sartre, Peggy Guggenheim, and Bernard Berenson. From the vantage point of Schiffrin's extraordinary career, Reichman sheds new light on French and American literary culture, European exiles in the United States, and the transatlantic ties that transformed the world of publishing.

Avec sa couverture ivoire à filets rouges et noir marquée du monogramme NRF, la collection "Blanche" inaugure le catalogue des Editions de la Nouvelle Revue française, créées le 31 mai 1911 par André Gide, Jean Schlumberger et Gaston Gallimard. Sous l'impulsion de ce dernier, rejoint par son frère Raymond et son ami Marcel Couvreux, la modeste association, rebaptisée Librairie Gallimard en 1919, se développe durant l'entre-deux-guerres ; elle se transmettra d'une génération à l'autre, avec une ambition inchangée : mettre l'esprit d'entreprise au service de la littérature et de la vie des idées. De "Métamorphoses" au "Chemin", de la "Bibliothèque de la Pléiade" à la "Série noire", de "Folio" à "L'Imaginaire", des sciences humaines et des essais aux livres pour enfants, dans la diversité des productions culturelles, un enjeu demeure : se donner les moyens de mener en toute indépendance une politique d'auteurs et de collections. Du manuscrit au livre, dans la durée de la création, de la lecture et du dialogue entre l'écrivain et son éditeur, se joue de l'histoire de la vie littéraire et intellectuelle du XXe siècle. Ainsi le parcours singulier de cette maison centenaire éclaire-t-il l'histoire du métier d'éditeurs et de ses savoir-faire.
