Dictionaries and encyclopaedias

Hachette Livre’s dictionary and encyclopaedia publishers have strong ties to the traditions of their respective countries and include prestigious imprints. They remain anchored in the academic values that have been the basis of their reputations for centuries, while paying increasing attention to new reading usage. Hachette Livre, from the publication of its first dictionaries and encyclopaedias  in 1852 to the ongoing digital revolution, has been pursuing new approaches to knowledge
