Fernand Nathan, born on January 27, 1858 and died on March 1, 1947, with the birth name Fernand Clément Alphonse Cahen, also known by the pseudonym Jean Perrot,[1] was a French publisher and founder of the publishing house Nathan [fr].

Biography

Fernand Nathan was born in Passy (now Paris) in 1858 into a Jewish family from Lorraine [fr].[2] His father was a horse merchant [fr].

Nathan first worked for the Parisian bookseller and publisher Charles Delagrave.[3] Then, on June 8, 1881, at the age of 23,[4] he partnered with Jean-Baptiste Fauvé (1834-1893) to found the Librairie classique Nicolas Fauvé et Fernand Nathan, located at 18 Rue de Condé [fr] in the 6th arrondissement of Paris.[5] In 1884, Nathan bought out his partner's shares, becoming the sole owner of the publishing house. The specialization in educational publishing came at a very favorable time for Fernand Nathan: indeed, the Jules Ferry laws and the reforms of the educational system during the first decades of the French Third Republic offered important opportunities for educational publishing.[5]

During World War II, Fernand Nathan, due to his Jewish origins, was a victim of the antisemitic laws targeting Jews in France.[5] He had to flee and hide but managed, before doing so, to entrust the management of the company to a trusted employee. A caretaker was appointed by the occupying authorities, and then the company was "Aryanized".[5] Its management was entrusted to a group of French publishers, with the family Nathan's consent. Upon liberation, Fernand Nathan resumed control of his publishing house, which had thus been saved during the war.[5]
