Pierre-Jean Oswald

Pierre-Jean Oswald, born September 25, 1931 and died September 28, 2000 in Paris, is a French publisher.

He notably publishes novels and theatrical and poetic works, most often on his own account.

He defends the authors and the subjects less put forward, especially after the movements

of revolt of May 1968.

In the early 1950s, Pierre-Jean Oswald became an editor and "discoverer", settled in Honfleur and then Paris.

He then devoted himself to a collection of poetry in pocket format to make known poets like Franck Venaille or the Breton Paol Keineg.

In 1957, he published The Poets of the Algerian Revolution. From 1960, he published the magazine Poetic action.

In 1977, forced into bankruptcy, he had to suspend his activity, which left 300 authors without publisher.

In the 1980s, with the help of his wife Hélène (1929-2017), he resumed his activity as editor and discoverer of little-known texts, with the creation of the New Oswald Editions (Neo), specialized in popular literature,

mainly the science fiction and fantasy but also the detective story.

Both have done remarkable work in promoting and publishing very important foreign authors.

in the realm of the fantastic, which so far
were unknown in France (in particular Clark Ashton Smith).

He also publishes the complete works of Sherlock Holmes and Harry Dickson.

Ten years later, he launched editions of the Eighth Art, devoted to cult television series.

He ends his publishing career at Editions des Belles Lettres

THE GREAT ANTHOLOGY OF SCIENCE-FICTION
First series (1966-1975) & Second series (1983-1985) The Great Anthology of Science Fiction is a collection of anthologies (36 collections of short stories in all) published by the Pocket Book in the 1970s under the triple direction of Jacques Goimard, Demeter Ioakimidis and Gérard Klein.
The collection has two series, the first consisting of twelve volumes and the second of twenty-four volumes. The anthologies are managed collectively by the three signatories, as well as the choice of new components each.
Each volume brings together several short stories around a science fiction theme. It includes a general introduction to the collection, a specific introduction to the theme treated by one of the three anthologists, and is followed by a dictionary of authors.
A third series devoted to French science fiction, consisting of six volumes and a supplement, also appeared subsequently under the direction of Gérard Klein, Ellen Herzfeld and Dominique Martel.
The models of this anthology were produced for the first series by the Pierre Faucheux workshop.
