Cultivating the friendship of the jurors, it also seeks to monopolize literary awards (in fifteen years, he gets half of the Prix Goncourt ). In 1932 , Gaston Gallimard passes an exclusive distribution agreement with Hachette Messaging , which provides home a good visibility on the tables of bookstores. In 1933 , Editions de la Pleiade, founded by Jacques Schiffrin collaboration with Charles du Bos , Editions Gallimard are integrated with the collection and become the " Bibliotheque de la Pleiade. " Schiffrin is the director until the Second World War. This event marks a period of multiplication and building collections (test with the "Library of Ideas" in 1927, foreign literature with " All over the world "in 1931, with the new collection" new Renaissance "in 1934, directed by Paul Morand ...). During the Popular Front , the publisher is the victim of an attack, probably sponsored by the Cross of fire. The Occupation and the postwar After the Armistice of 1940 , Gaston Gallimard cedes management of the NRF to Drieu La Rochelle , author fascist activist and self-censoring to obtain a quota of paper . The attitude of the editor is ambiguous. It hosts in its offices clandestine meetings of French literature founded by Paulhan while publishing translations of German classics such as Goethe , to reconcile the Occupation.

Literary prizes proliferate, house explores all areas of creative writing. Claude Gallimard , Gaston's son, wants to modernize the publisher. It brings in new leaders within the company, develops the department of art book in collaboration with Andre Malraux and the humanities by partnering with Pierre Nora. Over the years 1960, Editions Gallimard continue to attract the biggest names in French and foreign literature: Marguerite Yourcenar , Philip Roth , Mario Vargas Llosa ( Nobel Prize 2010), Kundera ... Anxious to remain at the forefront of the publishing scene, Claude Gallimard lays the foundation stones of the group by buying Gallimard successively several other publishing houses: In 1970, he terminates the contract that bound him to Hachette and founded a year later its distribution subsidiaries (CDE) and distribution (SODIS). The first ideas of a fund's operating appear. It's that time of the first pocket with the creation of the series "Ideas" in 1962 and "Poetry "in 1966.

In 1999, Editions Gallimard begin negotiations with the company Bibliopolis, electronic publishing firm specializing in the publication of classical authors on the web, in order to create a subsidiary that would be named "Gallimard Digital" or "Interactive Gallimard" , and thus boost the publishing industry and the electronic book. However, these negotiations are brutally interrupted in 2000, shortly before their completion, and the proposed creation of a center of electronic publishing by implementing the technologies developed by Bibliopolis is thus abandoned.
