In the 1950s, on returning from various courses and jobs in Germany, Spain and England, Dominique de Roux, along with several friends and young relatives, founded the first (roneotyped) editions of L'Herne. In 1961, this organ became Cahiers de l'Herne, a collection of monographs dedicated to various literary figures, of whom Wikipédia gives a large number of examples: René-Guy Cadou, Georges Bernanos, Borges, Louis-Ferdinand Céline, Ezra Pound, Witold Gombrowicz, Pierre Jean Jouve, Burroughs-Pélieu-Kaufman, Henri Michaux, Ungaretti, Louis Massignon, Lewis Carroll, H. P. Lovecraft, Alexandre Soljenitsyne, Julien Gracq, Dostoïevski, Karl Kraus, Gustav Meyrink, Thomas Mann, Edgar Allan Poe, Jules Verne, Arthur Koestler, Charles Péguy and Raymond Abellio.
He also wrote several works of non-fiction and several novels, a few of which were published posthumously: Mademoiselle Anicet (1960); L'Harmonika-Zug (1963); Maison jaune; Le Cinquième empire (1977); La Jeune Fille au ballon rouge (1978); and Le Livre nègre (1997). He died of a heart attack at the age of forty-one. The publishing house still exists.
