PETIT LAROUSSE

(Redirected from Le Petit Larousse)
'''Le Petit Larousse''' is a French-language reference book first appearing in 1905 and later published in a 100th anniversary edition in 2005. The book has two main sections: a dictionary featuring common words and an encyclopedia of proper nouns ''(compare encyclopedic dictionary)''.
The motto of Pierre Larousse, the namesake of Les Editions Larousse, and perpetuated in Larousse's publications is "Je sème à tout vent" ("I sow to all winds"). This motto inspires the cover art of Le Petit Larousse which typically features a female figure blowing dandelion seeds.
Upon its 100th anniversary, a history of ''Le Petit Larousse'' was published called ''La dent-de-lion, la semeuse et le Petit Larousse'' written by Jean Pruvost. Le Petit Larousse 2007 (published in 2006) includes 150,000 definitions and 5,000 illustrations. The following editions are available:
