L'Esprit frappeur
L'Esprit frappeur (French for "ghost" or "poltergeist"), is a French publishing house, specialized in low-cost books. Before the change to euros, it used to sell its books for 10 or 20 Francs; they now cost between 2,5 euros and 5 euros. L'Esprit frappeur edits many texts more or less censored for economic or political reasons by larger companies.
History
Created in 1997, the publishing house was very active until 2005, the year from which it began to publish very little. From then on, L'Esprit Batteur was mostly co-published, and distributed very little.
