The LDL group, which already brings together Heracles, the flamboyant star and Amanuensis, integrates a new house into its fold.
Baptized Jacques-Marie Laffontin reference to its publisher, it has the objective according to Guillaume Dumoulinfounder of the group with Gauthier Dupont« to give a look at the news and the great challenges of contemporary thought ». If the authors do not appear ” in media news, ils provide answers to major societal questions ».
« A meeting story »
This editorial creation around the humanities ” prospective “, that’s to say ” Tour to the future “Comes, still according to Guillaume Dumoulin, from a will” to approach a readership that has so far ever been approached. Among our houses, some make white, thriller, esotericism, but none still took care of the human sciences. And then, as often in the world of publishing, it is a meeting story: Jacques-Marie Laffont with whom we used to work without having posed a real editorial project in his name, offered us several works that we really appreciated ».
Jacques-Marie Laffont, at the same time poet, publisher and author has been a figure in the French literary landscape for almost 50 years. According to a press release, he embodied a ” Unwavering passion for literature ».
This project therefore involves the development of three collections: “Littera Mundi”, devoted to fiction and whose first work signed Florence Miton entitled Sisters and will appear on 1is June, “in situ”, dedicated to philosophical essays with the situationist essay of Sergio Gavia Sauvageon The falsification of the world – from the society of the show to the totalitarian technocracypublished on March 31, and “intertext” intended for literary critical essays with Jean Giono – A monster desire beyond all transgressions of Christine Bretonnier-Andréani which will appear on 1is June also.

In 2025, the house will publish 12 titles, four in each collection. A figure that should increase to reach 25 titles per year from 2026.
The books of Jacques-Marie Laffont editions will not be set up in bookstores, but will be subject to printing on demand.
According to Guillaume Dumoulin, this constitutes ” A real strategy to ensure long marketing of works, fight against waste linked to pestle and offices, as well as to reduce the transport between the printer and the reader to the bare minimum. On the bookseller side, this implies firm purchases which can slow down their desire to highlight a work, that is why we have constituted our own dissemination tool LDL Diffusion, in order to manage on a case -by -case relations with the booksellers to which we offer solutions close to classic dissemination He continues.
Thus, the LDL group tends to develop a new economic model based on new technologies while preserving ” The historical habits of the book chain ».
