Obelisk Press

Obelisk Press

Obelisk Press est une ancienne maison d'édition en langue anglaise basée en France, à Paris[1], et fondée par le Britannique Jack Kahane en 1931[2].

Cette maison d'édition a notamment publié, en 1934, la première version originale de Tropique du Cancer, d'Henry Miller, ainsi que d'autres romans que leurs auteurs, le plus souvent en raison d'un contenu pouvant avoir trait à la sexualité, n'avaient pas réussi à faire paraître en Angleterre ou aux États-Unis[1].
