Les Cahiers du Sud

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Fortunio (review))

Les Cahiers du Sud (literaly “The Southern Notebooks”) was a French literary journal published in Marseille.

It was founded in 1914, as Fortunio, by the teenage Marcel Pagnol, although publication ended a few months later at the outbreak of the Great War. Pagnol restarted it in 1920 in Aix-en-Provence, before moving it back to Marseille the next year.[1] It was taken over and renamed by Jean Ballard in 1925, and published, under his direction, until 1966.[2]

History and profile

Through the poet André Gaillard (1898–1929), the magazine published surrealist writers like René Crevel, Paul Éluard and Benjamin Péret, and ex-surrealists like Antonin Artaud, Robert Desnos. Others published in the magazine included Henri Michaux, Michel Leiris, René Daumal, Pierre Jean Jouve and Pierre Reverdy. Cahiers du Sud also published the poetry of Joë Bousquet.[3] Other contributors included Gabriel Audisio, René Nelli, Simone Weil, Benjamin Fondane, Jean Audard, Marguerite Yourcenar, Walter Benjamin and Paul Valéry.[4]

In 1945 Ballard drew up a new editorial board with Jean Tortel and Pierre Guerre.[3]
