'''''Europe''''' ({{IPA|fr|ø.ʁɔp}}) is a French [[literary magazine]] founded in 1923.

== History ==

Created by [[Romain Rolland]] and a group of French writers,<ref>Most of the founding members also belonged to the [[Abbaye de Créteil]] group.</ref> the literary magazine ''Europe'' began on 15 February 1923, published by {{Interlanguage link multi|Rieder (publisher)|fr|3=Éditions Rieder|lt=Rieder House}}.

In the journal's first issue, its editor-in-chief, {{Interlanguage link multi|René Arcos|fr}}, explained the choice of "Europe" as a title: "We speak of Europe because our vast peninsula, between the East and the New World, is the crossroads where civilisations meet. But it is to all the peoples that we address ourselves [...] in the hope of averting the tragic misunderstandings which currently divide mankind."<ref>''Europe'', Year 1, 1 (February 1923). See also [http://www.europe-revue.net/d27hier-a-demain.html Journal’s website: history.] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131224151904/http://www.europe-revue.net/d27hier-a-demain.html |date=2013-12-24 }}{{in lang|fr}}.</ref><br /> [[Jean Guéhenno]] was the next chief editor, from 1929 until 1936, followed by [[Jean Cassou]] from May 1936 until 1939.<ref>[https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/1933600 Worldcat facts about ''Europe''].</ref>

Until 1939, when it was suspended on the announcement of the [[Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact]], ''Europe'' followed the Communists in the anti-fascist struggle. In 1946, ''Europe'' was revived due to the efforts of [[Louis Aragon]], who published it through La Bibliothèque française, merged in 1949 into the publishing company Les Éditeurs français réunis. [[Pierre Abraham]] then became its director, which he was until his death in 1974. [[Pierre Gamarra]] succeeded him, having acted as editor-in-chief since 1951. From 2009 until 2014, [[Charles Dobzynski]] was director while Jean-Baptiste Para remained editor-in-chief of the magazine.

Since the 1950s, ''Europe'' has issued thematic titles considered as a reference work. It also contains book and cultural reviews and publishes poetry or fiction. ''Europe'' has published works by authors as diverse as Aragon, [[Jean-Richard Bloch]], [[Louis-Ferdinand Céline]], [[Emile Danoën]], [[Jean Giono]], [[Panaït Istrati]], [[Rabindranath Tagore]] or [[Tristan Tzara]], for example.

There is an Association of ''Europe'' Friends (Association des Amis d{{'}}''Europe''), which aims to develop cultural life, principally of the literary kind, "in a spirit of openness and hospitality and in the humanistic tradition which has characterised  ''Europe'' since its foundation."<ref>[http://www.europe-revue.net/les-amis-d27europe.html Journal's website: Association of ''Europe'' Friends] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130823235810/http://europe-revue.net/les-amis-d27europe.html |date=2013-08-23 }}{{in lang|fr}}</ref>
