Éditions Gallimard

Éditions Gallimard is identified as the publisher of the French original of L’imaginaire, first published in Paris in 1940. The book’s publication record also names the press in its copyright notice, while separately crediting later English-language publishing to Routledge.

Recorded Identity and Role

The available record identifies Éditions Gallimard through its publishing role: it issued the French-language L’imaginaire in Paris. This establishes the press’s direct connection to the book, but does not provide information about its organization, editorial processes, or wider catalogue.

The 1940 French Publication

L’imaginaire was first published in French in 1940 by Éditions Gallimard in Paris. This is the book’s original publication, distinct from the English translation that followed decades later. The record’s wording places the publisher, language, city, and year together as the defining facts of that first edition.

Copyright and Later Editions

The book carries a copyright notice for Éditions Gallimard dated 1940 and 1986. That notice records the press’s copyright connection, but does not by itself establish that a separate edition appeared in 1986. The English translation was first published in 2004 by Routledge and later appeared in the Routledge Classics series in 2010, a publication history separate from Éditions Gallimard’s 1940 French original.
