Le Livre de poche : ウィキペディア英語版 | Le Livre de poche Le Livre de Poche (literally "The Pocket Book") is the name of a collection of literature which appeared 9 February 1953 under the leadership of Henri Filipacchi and published by the Librairie générale française, a subsidiary of Hachette. ==History== Admittedly, books of a similar format, fitting in a pocket, already existed. Since 1905, Editions Jules Tallandier marketed themselves under the name ''Livre de poche'', popular novels at low cost. But the successful reception of ''Le Livre de Poche'' was due to the combination of the new idea of ''consumerism'' with the era and the popular demand and study of a cheap and desacralized book, presented in covers recalling cinema posters, but the vehicle of a quality literature. Henri Filipacchi succeeded in convincing his editor friends Albin Michel, Calmann-Lévy, Grasset and Gallimard to join his project and become the "founding fathers" of Le Livre de Poche. Thus ''Kœnigsmark'', by Pierre Benoit, was the first title released, in 1953. Every fortnight a new title is released. It soon became a ''fait de société''. From 8 million copies in 1957-1958, sales climbed to 28 million in 1969. This success inspired competitors: J'ai lu created by Flammarion in 1958, Presses Pocket created by the Presses de la Cité and Folio created by Gallimard in 1972 after its withdrawal from the Librairie Générale Française. But, with nearly a billion volumes distributed since its creation and more than 18 million copies sold in 2002, it remains the premier widely distributed French paperback collection.
