Pierre-Jean Oswald
Pierre-Jean Oswald, born September 25, 1931 and died September 28, 2000 in Paris, was 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 highlighted, especially after the movements
revolt of May 1968.
In the early 1950s, Pierre-Jean Oswald became a publisher and “discoverer”, based in Honfleur then Paris.
He then devoted himself to a collection of poetry in pocket format to promote poets like Franck Venaille or the Breton Paol Keineg.
In 1957, he published Les Poètes de la Révolution algérienne. From 1960, he edited the magazine poetic action.
In 1977, forced into bankruptcy, he had to suspend his activity, which left 300 authors without a publisher.
In the 1980s, with the help of his wife Hélène (1929-2017), he resumed his activity as a publisher and discoverer of little-known texts, with the creation of Nouvelles Éditions Oswald (Néo), specializing in popular literature,
mainly the science fiction and fantasy but also the detective novel.
Both have done a remarkable job of publicizing and publishing very important foreign authors.
in the domain of the fantastic, which until then
were unknown in France (especially Clark Ashton Smith).
It also publishes the integral of Sherlock Holmes and Harry Dickson.
Ten years later, he launched the editions of the Eighth Art, devoted to cult television series.
He finished his publishing career at Editions des Belles Lettres

When Susanna pops into John Maine's life, he doesn't yet know that she is from another world. From a parallel universe. And that he will have to seek it out in the infinity of possible worlds.
At the risk of encountering, elsewhere, in another time, his own death. This is the price of love.
In Charisma, science fiction joins the detective novel. To renew it.
Michaël Coney, the author of La Grande Course de chars à voile and La Locomotive à vapor celeste, once again shows himself to be one of the most original creators of modern science fiction.
