Presentation
As an independent publishing association, ACEL (Association For a Literary Studies Collection), the new Collection „Le cippe“ promotes access to the rich Swiss heritage and Francophone literature. Intended for a wide audience, including students, academics and enthusiasts, this collection allows a confrontation of diverse views within an intercultural context that does not take away either the accuracy of the information or the pleasure of reading.
In the antiquity a „cippe“ was a small, unfinished column that could be used as a landmark, a modest stele or a memorial and is an appropriate name for the Collection. Each book will read like an hospitable welcome or a pleasant and informative break in its search for a readership while, at the same time, it will offer a tactful tribute to the authors studied.
