Lucien Scheler

Lucien Scheler (1902 – 23 April 1999[1]) was a French writer, poet, publisher, and bookseller who participated in the literary resistance against Nazism.

During World War II, Scheler lived on Rue de Tournon in Paris, and worked as a bookseller and as an expert in ancient books.

He then published Bibliographie de France, which contained works produced by French Resistance writers.

Due to the resistance efforts of Paul Éluard, Scheler's bookstore became a rallying point for the messengers of the Éditions de Minuit.

[2] In 1944, the first issues of L'eternelle revue (an illegal magazine created by Paul Éluard with the help of Jean Lescure and Louis Parrot) were published in Scheler's bookshop, which first became available in June of that year.
