1974: Étienne Robial founds Futuropolis. 2005: Futuropolis is reborn, with an ambitious and renewed program and the same unchanged desire to promote authors both renowned and as-yet undiscovered, pursuing their dreams and creations. Instead of following schools and fashions, Futuropolis publishes only original works, free from preconceived styles and notions. Futuropolis loves books with a strong voice, books that move readers’ hearts and minds, and make them think and feel. To better support the varied approaches and intentions of its creators, Futuropolis publishes books whose design reflects their diversity of content: black and white, color, paperback, hardcover, formats large and small.
