Hachette Livre, filiale de Lagardère SCA, est le troisième éditeur de livres grand public (trade) et d’éducation dans le monde.
Sur le périmètre France, Hachette Livre, fruit d’une construction patiente entamée en 1826, couvre, à travers une quarantaine de maisons, tous les segments de l’édition grand public et a publié plus de 8000 nouveautés en 2017. Dans le segment scolaire, le nom de Louis Hachette, fortement attaché à l’univers des livres scolaires, côtoie les noms prestigieux de Hatier et de Larousse. Une dizaine de maisons, fortes de catalogues qui font partie du patrimoine national, couvrent la littérature générale. Dans l’univers pratique, trois maisons d’édition de première importance, Hachette Pratique, Marabout et Larousse, permettent au Groupe d’être leader sur ce segment. Hachette Livre est très présente sur le segment de la littérature pour enfants et des dictionnaires et encyclopédies. La bande dessinée fait également partie du Groupe depuis que les Éditions Albert-René, éditeur du mythique Astérix le Gaulois, ont rejoint Hachette Livre. Au moment où les lecteurs s’équipent de liseuses et de tablettes, les éditeurs redoublent d’imagination pour utiliser les possibilités des supports numériques.
The History Press is the UK’s largest dedicated history publisher. We publish across a broad range of topics and periods, covering the exceptional people, places and events that have shaped our lives today.
The Lilliput Press is one of Ireland’s smallest and most prestigious publishing houses. We publish a wide variety of Irish interest books and are proud to represent authors such as James Joyce, John Moriarty, J.P. Donleavy and many others. We specialize in biography, historical non-fiction and memoir, but are also one of the leading fiction publishers in Ireland and are known for discovering exciting new talents such as Donal Ryan, Rob Doyle and Elske Rahill. We have recovered several titles which were groundbreaking at the time of their first publication, most recently the powerful Fathers Come First by Rosita Sweetman.
The Lilliput Press was founded in 1984 by Antony Farrell in County Westmeath. Jonathan Swift spent his summers in a house nearby, and derived the name Lilliput from a local townland. The office was moved to its present locale in Arbour Hill, Stoneybatter, Dublin 7, in 1989. More than 600 titles have appeared under its imprint; these encompass art, music (both traditional and popular Irish music) architecture, autobiography and memoir, biography and history, ecology and environmentalism, essays and literary criticism, philosophy, current affairs and popular culture, fiction, drama and poetry, all broadly focused on Irish themes. We are particularly focused on publishing high quality books about Irish history, and have covered a wide range of topics in this area alone.
