Presses de la Renaissance

“Books to build humanity” is the editorial line adopted by Presses de la Renaissance. This general publisher focuses on works dealing with the quest for meaning and the soul-searching questions of humanity today. Its aim is to provide a broad readership with works selected for the quality of their content and the personalities of their authors: the Dalai Lama, Régis Debray, Marc Fumaroli, General Philippe Morillon, Tim Guénard, etc.

The successes of Presses de la Renaissance include personal stories as Sprinteuse de Dieu by Marie-Françoise Lubeth or Douleur de peau by Aysseline de Lardemelle ; Sur les pas de Jacques Brel in the series “Carnets de voyage”, which marked the 30th anniversary of the artist's death ; and bestsellers like 365 méditations sur les chemins de Compostelle by Luc Adrian.

Presses de la Renaissance is also continuing its “Documents” (first-person accounts), “Spirituality” and “Fiction” series; excerpts may be found on the firm’s website.

For ten years Presses de la Renaissance have published more than 450 titles with more than 300 authors. Some titles have made the international bestseller lists, as Les conseils du cœur by the Dalaï Lama.
