Auda Isarn

Auda Isarn is a French publishing house founded in 2002 by Bertrand Le Digabel, who also writes under the pen name Pierre Gillieth. It is based in Toulouse, Occitanie, and operates as an association. The name is taken from a character in Saint-Loup's novel Nouveaux Cathares pour Montségur. The publisher is described as far-right, neo-Nazi and negationist, and is said to occupy a non-negligible place in French fascist circles. Its books are often distributed through other spaces affiliated with identitarian movements, such as Éditions Kontre Kulture or Réfléchir ou Agir (of which Le Digabel is an active member), on the site Livres en famille linked to Action française, or on Jeune Nation (the site of negationist Yvan Benedetti). The house is said to have a strategy of mixing right-wing and left-wing texts for the purpose of political 'confusionism'. It reissues books by older authors such as Karl Aloys Schenzinger, a German doctor and writer active in Nazi propaganda. It also publishes comic books including HeSSa by Nevio Zeccara, an Italian classic of Nazi porn originally published in the 1970s, and art books on German painting under the Third Reich. Following an article in Mediacités, the Toulouse city hall discovered that about ten titles were in its library collections, which could be explained by the fact that the founder of Auda Isarn works as a librarian at the Toulouse municipal library; the city hall removed these publications from its collections and took up the ethical aspect of the case. Auda Isarn mainly publishes fiction, notably detective novels, as well as films and graphic art books (paintings and comics). It also publishes contemporary authors such as Arnaud Bordes, Bruno Favrit, Pierric Guittaut, Thierry Bouclier, Aristide Leucate, Alain Sanders, Bruno Lafourcade, Xavier Éman and Jean-Michel Conrad.
