History

The economic situation of the Phébus editions has long been problematic. When they won the Prix des Libraires in 1985, the Éditions Phébus had a catalog of almost a hundred titles and gained some recognition from the public. In 2006, two years after the takeover of the house by the Libella group, the departure of the publisher Jean-Pierre Sicre shook Phébus. The foreign literature department directed by Daniel Arsand until October 2015 is now directed by Nils C. Ahl and the French literature one by Louis Chevaillier, former head of the Folio collection, who took over from Lionel Besnier. A new generation that hosts a catalog of fluent, incarnated and generous texts inspired by Blaise Cendrars in Rhum to young people of today who are tired of literature to prove to them that "A novel can also be an act".
