Certainly, Pierre Assouline, Beno\u00eet Peeters and especially Philippe Goddin recounted in their respective biographies, in great detail, the relationship between Herg\u00e9 and Casterman. But until now there was no detailed work on the saga of <\/span>Tintin<\/span><\/i>\u2019s album editor. It is now done, with the imposing <\/span>Casterman, from Tintin to Tardi<\/span><\/i> by Florian Moine, published a few months ago in New Impressions. His book is an adaptation of his thesis History directed by Pascal Ory and supported in 2020.<\/span><\/p>

The researcher began his story in 1919, when the brothers Louis and G\u00e9rard Casterman gave new life to the family business, founded in 1776. Publishers of religious texts and children\u2019s literature, the Casterman also printed Belgian telephone directories and railway guides (for the state), and publications from other publishing companies. Thanks to one of their commercial directors, Charles Lesne, Herg\u00e9 agreed to illustrate books from 1932, before entrusting to Casterman, from 1934, the edition of his albums.<\/span><\/p>

Florian Moine brings many new or little known anecdotes. Thus, we learn that, in the 1930s, the <\/span>best-seller<\/span><\/i> of Casterman editions was not an adventure of Tintin, but the biography of Queen Astrid by Jeanne Cappe. Moine also recalls that on the French border, until the 1950s, a comic book was not considered a book but classified as an image album or coloring album, whose tariffs were higher. Something Casterman vigorously contested.<\/span><\/p>

The arrival of the Lombard editions in 1946 posed a major threat to the Tournai firm. Ultimately, Raymond Leblanc and his French counterpart Dargaud were able to agree with their competitor, entrusting him with the marketing of the <\/span>Tintin<\/span><\/i> newspaper\u2019s unsold items in the form of collections, and the printing of derivatives and <\/span>Asterix albums. <\/span><\/i>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Florian Moine talks about the successes (the <\/span>Martine<\/span><\/i> series, etc.), but also the failures of the publisher. For example, the first stories of <\/span>Corto Maltese<\/span><\/i> sold very badly. Faced with this setback, Didier Platteau proposed to Hugo Pratt to publish the 161 plates of <\/span>La Ballade de la mer sal\u00e9e<\/span><\/i> in a paperback, in black and white. Released in 1975, this new volume attracted readers who loved adult literature more than comics. The object was in a way the first graphic novel of the Casterman editions, and was followed, in 1978, by the birth of the magazine <\/span>(to follow)<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>

Continuing its activities, the Casterman House suffered severe economic difficulties at the end of the century. Bought by Flammarion in 1999, it is now in the fold of the Madrigall group. But this is another story.<\/span><\/p>

Although not exclusively devoted to <\/span>Tintin<\/span><\/i>, Florian Moine\u2019s book is certainly the most important work of 2022 for a Herg\u00e9 specialist. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

L\u2019histoire des \u00e9ditions Casterman en 400 pages Certes, Pierre Assouline, Beno\u00eet Peeters et surtout Philippe Goddin ont relat\u00e9 dans leurs biographies respectives, avec force d\u00e9tails, les rapports entre Herg\u00e9 et Casterman.

Mais il n\u2019existait pas jusqu\u2019\u00e0 pr\u00e9sent un travail fouill\u00e9 sur la saga de l\u2019\u00e9diteur des albums de Tintin. C\u2019est maintenant chose faite, avec l\u2019imposant Casterman, de Tintin \u00e0 Tardi de Florian Moine, paru il y a quelques mois aux Impressions nouvelles. Son livre est une adaptation de sa th\u00e8se d\u2019Histoire dirig\u00e9e par Pascal Ory et soutenue en 2020. Le chercheur commence son r\u00e9cit en 1919, au moment o\u00f9 les fr\u00e8res Louis et G\u00e9rard Casterman donn\u00e8rent un nouveau souffle \u00e0 l\u2019entreprise familiale, fond\u00e9e en 1776. \u00c9diteurs de textes religieux et de litt\u00e9rature enfantine, les Casterman imprimaient aussi les annuaires t\u00e9l\u00e9phoniques belges et les guides du chemin de fer (pour l\u2019\u00c9tat), et des publications \u00e9manant d\u2019autres soci\u00e9t\u00e9s d\u2019\u00e9dition. Gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 l\u2019un de leurs responsables commerciaux, Charles Lesne, Herg\u00e9 accepta d\u2019illustrer des livres \u00e0 partir de 1932, avant de confier \u00e0 Casterman, d\u00e8s 1934, l\u2019\u00e9dition de ses albums. Florian Moine apporte de nombreuses anecdotes in\u00e9dites ou peu connues. Ainsi, on apprend que, dans les ann\u00e9es 1930, le best-seller des \u00e9ditions Casterman n\u2019\u00e9tait pas une aventure de Tintin, mais la biographie de la reine Astrid par Jeanne Cappe. Moine rappelle aussi qu\u2019\u00e0 la fronti\u00e8re fran\u00e7aise, jusque dans les ann\u00e9es 1950, une bande dessin\u00e9e n\u2019\u00e9tait pas consid\u00e9r\u00e9e comme un livre mais class\u00e9e dans la cat\u00e9gorie des album d\u2019images ou \u00e0 colorier, dont les droits de douane \u00e9taient plus \u00e9lev\u00e9s. Chose que Casterman contestait avec vigueur. L\u2019arriv\u00e9e des \u00e9ditions du Lombard, en 1946, constitua une menace de taille pour la firme tournaisienne. En d\u00e9finitive, Raymond Leblanc et son homologue fran\u00e7ais Dargaud surent s\u2019accorder avec leur concurrent, en lui confiant la commercialisation des invendus du journal Tintin sous forme de recueils, et l\u2019impression de produits d\u00e9riv\u00e9s et d\u2019albums d\u2019Ast\u00e9rix.  Florian Moine \u00e9voque les succ\u00e8s (la s\u00e9rie Martine\u2026), mais aussi les \u00e9checs de l\u2019\u00e9diteur. Par exemple, les premi\u00e8res histoires de Corto Maltese se vendirent tr\u00e8s mal. Face \u00e0 ce revers, Didier Platteau proposa \u00e0 Hugo Pratt de publier les 161 planches de La Ballade de la mer sal\u00e9e en un volume broch\u00e9, en noir et blanc. Sorti en 1975, ce nouveau tome attira les lecteurs plus f\u00e9rus de litt\u00e9rature adulte que de bande dessin\u00e9e. L\u2019objet constituait en quelque sorte le premier roman graphique des \u00e9ditions Casterman, et fut suivi, en 1978, de la naissance du magazine (\u00c0 suivre). Poursuivant ses activit\u00e9s, la maison Casterman subit de lourdes difficult\u00e9s \u00e9conomiques \u00e0 la fin du si\u00e8cle. Rachet\u00e9e par Flammarion en 1999, elle se trouve aujourd\u2019hui dans le giron du groupe Madrigall. Mais ceci est une autre histoire. Bien que n\u2019\u00e9tant pas uniquement consacr\u00e9 \u00e0 Tintin, le livre de Florian Moine est assur\u00e9ment l\u2019ouvrage le plus important de l\u2019ann\u00e9e 2022 pour un sp\u00e9cialiste d\u2019Herg\u00e9.  Patrice GUERIN Ajouter aux favoris","og_url":"https:\/\/beile.fr\/en\/the-history-of-casterman-in-400-pages\/","og_site_name":"Beile","article_published_time":"2023-05-07T12:08:00+00:00","article_modified_time":"2023-09-14T15:01:28+00:00","og_image":[{"width":1004,"height":1418,"url":"https:\/\/beile.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Couverture-Casterman-F.-Moine.jpg","type":"image\/jpeg"}],"author":"beile","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_misc":{"Written by":"beile","Estimated reading time":"3 minutes"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Article","@id":"https:\/\/beile.fr\/lhistoire-des-editions-casterman-en-400-pages\/#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/beile.fr\/lhistoire-des-editions-casterman-en-400-pages\/"},"author":{"name":"beile","@id":"https:\/\/beile.fr\/#\/schema\/person\/8077539c6780480e3f87b13a12da6b1e"},"headline":"L’histoire des \u00e9ditions Casterman en 400 pages","datePublished":"2023-05-07T12:08:00+00:00","dateModified":"2023-09-14T15:01:28+00:00","mainEntityOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/beile.fr\/lhistoire-des-editions-casterman-en-400-pages\/"},"wordCount":538,"publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/beile.fr\/#organization"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/beile.fr\/lhistoire-des-editions-casterman-en-400-pages\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/beile.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Couverture-Casterman-F.-Moine.jpg","articleSection":["Uncategorized"],"inLanguage":"en-GB"},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/beile.fr\/lhistoire-des-editions-casterman-en-400-pages\/","url":"https:\/\/beile.fr\/lhistoire-des-editions-casterman-en-400-pages\/","name":"The history of Casterman in 400 pages -
