''Lui'' (French for "Him") is a French adult entertainment magazine created in November 1963 by Daniel Filipacchi, a fashion photographer turned publisher, Jacques Lanzmann, a jack of all trades turned novelist, and Frank Ténot, a press agent, pataphysician and jazz critic. The objective was to bring some charm "à la française" to the market of men's magazines, following the success of ''Playboy'' in the USA, launched just a decade before. France, indeed, in the first half of 20th century had an outstanding reputation for erotic publications, feeding also foreign market and inspiring also ersatz French-flavoured magazines abroad, when, for example, US publishers used French-sounding titles like ''Chère'' and ''Dreamé'' or placed tricolour flags on the covers, attempting to attract the casual buyer.〔(Jacques Lanzmann — Novelist, lyricist and editor of ''Lui'' ), ''The Independent'', 4 July 2006〕 It was anyway a semi-clandestine circulating material, not allowed to be freely displayed or openly bought. In this sense ''Playboy'' changed the way 'soft-pornography' (become more respectfully 'adult entertainment'), can be publicly circulated. This magazine was particularly successful from its origins to the early eighties, afterwards it began a long decline. It was published regularly till November 1987 (the final issue of this first series was the number 285). After 1987 there was a further attempt to relaunch the title but the publication ceased again in 1994. Passed into the hands of the media group of Michel Birnbaum, after a transient stimulus, it became a pornographic magazine with episodic dissemination. It was published every three months. After the purchase of the title by Jean-Yves Le Fur, Lui was relaunched on 5 September 2013 as a high-end magazine with Frédéric Beigbeder at its helm.〔http://www.lefigaro.fr/medias/2013/06/18/20004-20130618ARTFIG00628-frederic-beigbeder-relance-le-magazine-lui.php〕 ==''Lui'' published by Filipacchi group (1963–1994)== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lui」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
