Sciences et Voyages

Sciences et Voyages was a French literary, scientific and technical information magazine published by the Société parisienne d'édition from 1919 to 1973. Launched by the Offenstadt brothers in 1919 and entrusted to the mysterious "Dr. J. Crinon", its early issues continued the tradition of popular science journals such as La Science illustrée (which ceased in 1905) and Journal des voyages (which ceased in 1915). From the 1950s onward, it took a more geographical orientation toward science, foreshadowing the future magazine Géo. The magazine was founded on 4 September 1919. It remained weekly until issue no. 826 of 27 June 1935. In July 1935 it became monthly, and its numbering restarted at no. 1, as happened with each major change of publication series. It appeared at least until no. 96 of January 1944. No. 1 of December 1945 began a third series that ran until no. 232 of April 1965. From May 1965 until February 1968, Sciences et Voyages became Sciences et Voyages: la vie des hommes, returning to its original title in March 1968 until no. 42 of October 1971, after which the magazine became Loisirs et voyages. Its publication definitively ceased with no. 58 of February 1973. From September 1941 the magazine published the bulletin of the "Club des explorateurs", a club created in 1937 that brought together travellers from various disciplinary backgrounds: archaeologists, mountaineers, navigators, reporters and ethnologists, among whom were Marcel Griaule, Jean-Paul Lebeuf, Paul-Émile Victor and Gilbert Rouget. Sciences et Voyages was also notable for publishing short stories and novels. From 4 September 1919 to April 1936, it published science fiction by authors including Pierre Adam, Jean d'Agraives, Guy d'Armen, Gabriel Bernard, Henry Bernay, Raoul Brémond, Jacques Cézembre, Henri Darblin, Georges Delhoste, Pierre Desclaux, Arthur Conan Doyle, Léon Groc, Édouard de Keyser, José Moselli, Guy Péron, Jean Petithuguenin, René Pujol, Jean Quatremarre, J.-H. Rosny aîné, Frank R. Stockton, and René Thévenin (alias A. Valérie). It also published adventure novels by authors such as José Moselli, Jack London, Lucien Victor-Meunier, Jean François Louis Merlet, Raoul Brémond, and Louis-Frédéric Rouquette. The magazine is now part of the digital collection of Gallica, the digital library of the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF), which provides free access to digitized issues.

Sciences et Voyages was launched by the Offenstadt brothers in 1919 and entrusted to the mysterious "Dr. J. Crinon". Its first issues continued the heritage of popular science journals La Science illustrée (disappeared in 1905) and Journal des voyages (disappeared in 1915). From the 1950s, it took a more geographical orientation of science, evoking the future magazine Géo. The magazine was created on 4 September 1919. It was weekly until issue no. 826 of 27 June 1935.
