The Revue des deux Mondes (French: [ʁəvy de dø mɔ̃d], Review of the Two Worlds) is a monthly French-language literary, cultural and current affairs magazine that has been published in Paris since 1829.
It began when an anodyne periodical, Journal des voyages, was purchased by the young printer Auguste-Jean Auffray, who convinced his college roommate François Buloz to edit it.
Its original emphasis on travel and foreign affairs soon shifted;[2] according to its website, it was created to "establish a cultural, economic and political bridge between France and the United States", the Old World and the New.
Among the early regular contributors who established the review's reputation as an elite liberal vehicle of haute culture were Albert, 4th duc de Broglie, François Guizot, Jacques Nicolas Augustin Thierry, Ludovic Vitet, Paul-François Dubois [fr], the literary critics Eugène-Melchior de Vogüé, Charles Augustin Sainte-Beuve, Gustave Planche, and Jean-Jacques Ampère.
[2][3] Heinrich Heine first published an essay in three parts in 1834, De l'Allemagne depuis Luther, a history of emancipation in Germany beginning with the Reformation.
