Abstract:
In this thesis, the publishing houses which published the work of various Spanish and Latin-American writers are studied. These works include novels, pedagogical, philosophical and technical books, dictionaries and translations from French to Spanish. The research covers the period from the last decade of the XIXth century until the formation of the Spanish Republic (1930). It attempts to identify the sociological factors and the market share of the Spanish book industry in Paris: the quality of publication and the attraction of this cultural center for intellectuals. A chapter is dedicated to the Spaniards who lived there during this period, concentrating upon their means, lifestyle and work in the city. Their main source of income was translation work, so characteristics of translation work and its market are studied. In conclusion, this thesis highlights the fact that this period (“la Belle Epoque” and “les Années Folles”) was a privileged moment for cultural life in Paris and for the publication of Spanish.
