Released in 1960 by L'Encyclopédie Sonore, a division of Hachette, this recording serves as a cultural artifact of the French spoken-word tradition during the mid-twentieth century. The record was produced to archive and disseminate classic and contemporary French literature and poetry to a wider audience, functioning as an educational and cultural repository that brought the works of notable authors like Charles Péguy, Victor Hugo, and Paul Verlaine into the homes of listeners through the medium of vinyl.

The recording features performances by an ensemble of prominent French actors including Gisèle Casadesus, Jean Deschamps, and Louis Velle. The production was part of a larger project by L'Encyclopédie Sonore to preserve the nuances of French elocution and provide auditory access to canonical literary texts. The design and curatorial approach focused on clarity and artistic fidelity, reflecting the period's commitment to maintaining a rigorous standard of literary appreciation in the post-war era.
