We believe that a book made of paper is a cutting-edge technology which has possibilities still to be explored; and Vies parallèles will take special care with the book-as-object, so as to give the words within it their maximum differentiation. We want to make difficult texts available to the widest possible readership, and the fact is that first impressions are decisive. Open and exacting, we will operate without prejudice, yokes or shackles, and will not let ourselves be confined to the narrow straits of straight (if parallel) lines. Vies parallèles will not conform.

Crossing borders, playing away from ethnocentrism, Genèse Édition is a Franco-Belgian publishing house, created in April 2009.
Its publishing policy consists of:
- Novels whose authors belong to several worlds at once. Their imagination, free from parochial codes, is enriched by a variety of rich and modern experiences, as shown in the wonderful novel "La tentation du pont" (The Bridge Temptation) by Véronique.
- Stories with content which appeals to a wide audience, such as the marvel story by Johan Frédérik Hel Guedj, "Chercheurs d'éternité" (Seekers of Eternity), which tells the story of the construction of the first polar station in Antarctica with zero emissions (a story of technical prowess and breathtaking epic human feat).
- Essays which address current issues without technical jargon such as "Secret Finance" by Paul Washer, an essay in which the author is regarding the impunity enjoyed by global financial speculation.

Soliflor is a publishing house with a family atmosphere where plenty of ideas blossom, collected into little, colourful square books, sweeping across a variety of themes centres around the art of living, kitchen gardens, and passing through all other rooms of the house. Yes, the themes are those of everyday life, that we love to capture in the most natural and respectful means possible. Our books are both fun and serious, as practical as they are theoretical, always illustrated. Whilst not claiming to save the world, our publishing house wants to play its part in bringing good sense, advice and recipes which do good. At Soliflor, everything is managed, from A to Z. Ideas are born when meeting authors. Themes are chosen with care. Consequently, year after year our catalogue grows, with a sustainable appeal. We are present not only in bookshops, but also and especially in organic shops, big and small, in Belgium, France and Switzerland. One last point; since its beginnings, Soliflor has produced its products locally. Its books are printed on FSC paper in Brussels, only a couple of kilometres away from our offices.
