Jacques Bergier and Louis Pauwels were the authors of the successful book The Morning of the Magicians (Le Matin des magiciens), subtitled "Introduction to Fantastic Realism," published in October 1959 (total French-language sales about 2 million copies).[2]
The rapid, unexpected success of this book encouraged its authors to create a review entirely devoted to the same topic: the Planet (Planète), with the slogan "Nothing that's strange is foreign to us!" After two years spent in the exiguous buildings of the editor, Victor Michon (at 8 rue de Berri, Paris VIIIe), the seat of the review settled in a substantial building on the Champs-Élysées.[3]
Jacques Bergier set himself up as intellectual heir to Charles Fort. Louis Pauwels would later be an editor of a review of an extremely different spirit, namely the Le Figaro Magazine (magazine supplement of a popular newspaper).[4]
