Le Navire d'Argent

Le Navire d'Argent (The Silver Ship) was a short lived but influential literary review, published monthly in Paris from June 1925 until May 1926.

[2] Founded by Adrienne Monnier, with Sylvia Beach's help and support, Jean Prévost was editor.

Although financially unsuccessful, it was an important part of the literary scene of the Twenties and helped launch the careers of several writers from the Lost Generation.

It contained the first French-language translation of T. S. Eliot's poem, The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock (May 1925); an early draft of part of James Joyce's Finnegans Wake (Oct 1925); and an abridged version of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's novella, The Aviator in the penultimate (Apr 1926) issue.

[4] After publication ceased, in May 1926, Monnier was forced to auction her personal collection of 400 books, many inscribed to her by their authors, to cover the losses.
