Académie Goncourt

The Société littéraire des Goncourt (French pronunciation: [sɔsjete liteʁɛʁ de ɡɔ̃kuʁ], Goncourt Literary Society), usually called the Académie Goncourt ([akademi ɡɔ̃kuʁ], Goncourt Academy), is a French literary organisation based in Paris. It was founded in 1882 by the French writer and publisher Edmond de Goncourt (1822–1896), who wanted to create a new way to encourage literature in France and disagreed with the contemporary policies of the Académie Française.
