It is a tribute paid to humble people and it contributes to improve current and future heritage of the involved towns.

Le Cormier Editions was founded in Brussels in 1949 by Fernand Verhesen (1913-2009). Poet, essayist and translator, Verhesen was also a great discoverer who significantly contributed to making the French-speaking public aware of Spanish and Latin-American poetry.
Also strongly interested in typography, he created and printed it himself on a little printing press – the first Cormier books – and showed, during his life, an equal interest in both the choice of texts, and their physical presentation.
This is a philosophy Le Cormier continues to follow today by only publishing four titles per year, edited and published by devoting the greatest care to the production of the actual book. The catalogue of the house distinguishes itself by a large variety of voices and the refusal of orthodoxy ; loyalty to poets of long-standing next to the spirit of discovery. The reader will find numerous Belgian and French authors, as well as important collections of Latin-American poetry.

Discreetly based in Anderlecht, from time to time les éditions 632 exclusively publish poetry. Until proven otherwise.
And their name, tell me about that?
It came to them from a sumptuous poem, entitled ?Escorial II?, in which Pedro Salinas decided to ?compter au lieu de rêver? (count instead of dreaming) (en vez de soñar, contar?). And to add up, six hundred and twelve windows in the western face of the Escurial, five white clouds, three beloved people and twelve strokes of noon. ?¡ Qué felicidad igual / a seiscientos treinta y dos !? (What equal happiness in those six hundred and thirty two!) cries the poet, thus answering your question.

Le Chat polaire, fondé en 2019, est une maison dédiée à la jeune poésie contemporaine francophone, mais aussi à l'édition de textes plus inclassables.
Chaque livre associe à l'auteur un artiste visuel, illustrateur, photographe ou bédéiste.
La maison souhaite également établir des liens avec d'autres formes artistiques, telles que la musique ou la chanson, lors de diverses manifestations.
L'expression "chat polaire" est née de l'invention d'un jeune garçon voulant nommer un simple chat blanc. C'est ainsi que naît parfois la poésie et c'est cette fraîcheur que souhaite conserver l'éditrice.

The Belle Alliance publishing houseÂ…
Â… Produces books that display a common passion and interest for Napoleonic history.
Since the publication of the first journal about the campaign of 1815, regarding the battle around the farm of Hougoumont, readers have eagerly awaited the next book in the series. Those interested in the battles were delighted to find a new approach in our publications, questioning the normal clichés and putting the facts into perspective.
To the journals regarding the 1815 campaign we have added :
• A series of illustrations regarding the uniforms of the soldiers of the Belle Alliance.
• A collection of works on the Stuers brothers in the service of the Emperor
• A collection on the history of the battle field
• And other works, such as Walcheren 1809.

La Fonderie is a non-profit organization created in 1983 by a group of committed residents and historians. It occupies the site of the former art foundry "La Compagnie des Bronzes". Our objectives are to preserve and make known the industrial memory of Brussels and that, more general, of work in all its forms.
La Fonderie is also a publishing house. We publish heritage, scientific and cultural works.
The original approach of the "Cahiers de La Fonderie" is to highlight the man, his work and his daily life. The articles in this historical review evoke the economic and industrial life of Brussels, the social and industrial heritage but also the history of the inhabitants of Brussels. We question the present and the future of the Brussels Region and its inhabitants from a historical analysis.
