The Revue des Deux Mondes (English: Review of the Two Worlds) is a French language monthly literary and cultural affairs magazine that has been published in Paris since 1829.

According to its website, "it is today the place for debates and dialogues between nations, disciplines and cultures, about the major subjects of our societies". The main shareholder is Marc Ladreit de Lacharrière's FIMALAC Group.

[edit] History

The Revue des deux mondes was founded by François Buloz, first appearing on 1 August 1829. According to its website, it was created in order to "establish a cultural, economic and political bridge between France and the United States", the Old World and the New. It was purchased in 1831 by Buloz, who was its editor until 1877. Another influential editor in its history was Ferdinand Brunetière (after 1893).
