Presentation of the publishing house Armand Colin
Our publishing house was created in 1870, and we are extremely proud to be one of the leading French academic publishers in the fields of literature, history, humanities and social science.
With an impressive backlist of almost 1500 strong-selling titles, we publish more than 300 new books and 19 scientific journals annually.
EDUCATION – RESEARCH
Aimed at the areas of higher education and research, our manuals, atlases, monographs, research works and scientific journals have been used by generations of students and researchers in the humanities and social sciences.
Series such as
U, Cursus, 128, Lettres Sup or the new collection,
Armand Colin / Recherches, are iconic in history, geography, literature, sociology, etc.
The updated
Cinéma / Arts visuels and
Lettres Sup series position us as the leading publisher in the areas of literature and the performing arts. Since 2011 we have pursued a policy of acquiring research monographs in the field of humanities, published under the banner of the new
Armand Colin / Recherches collection.
