Éditions Denoël
Called the Éditions Denoël-Steel during its first few years, it had its first success in 1932 with "Voyage au bout de la nuit" by Louis-Ferdinand Céline. In 1934, Denoël edited Louis Aragon's "Les Cloches de Bâle" and Antonin Artaud's "Héliogabale ou l'anarchiste couronné" and, in 1936, "Mort à crédit" by Céline, as well as several notable pamphlets, such as "Bagatelles pour un massacre" (1937) and "L'École des cadavres" (1938). At this time, Denoël can be considered unusual in respect to its diverse choice of publications. Until May 1940, for example, it published an Anti-German political magazine as well as the anti-Semitic pamphlets of Céline and Lucien Rebatet. Bernard Steele left the company, because of Céline's pamphlet "Mea culpa" (1936). Robert Denoël himself was murdered in 1945 possibly by French terrorists, along with many others who collaborated with the Germans, during the period of lawlessness following the liberation of Paris.
