Overview
Éditions La Thébaïde is a French publishing house whose catalogue is built around literary reissues, correspondence, war journals, reportage, and rediscovered works by twentieth-century French writers. Its online catalogue lists titles by authors such as Jean Malaquais, Michel Déon, Pierre Joannon, Bénigno Cacérès, Pierre Bost, André Chamson, Jean Prévost, Marcelle Capy, Léon Bazalgette, and others, with publication dates running from 2021 through 2026. The house presents itself through its website, lathebaide.fr, where it offers online ordering and a complete catalogue, and notes that the site is provisional following a computer hacking incident. Its editorial profile is that of a small, independent literary publisher focused on bringing back into print French literary and intellectual works, including correspondence, journals, novels, short stories, and reportage. The publisher's Latin motto, "Habent sua fata libelli" (books have their own fates), appears on its homepage and reflects its bibliophilic orientation. Wikidata identifies it simply as a French publishing house. No parent company, ownership group, or stock listing is indicated in the available evidence, and it operates as a private independent publisher.
