[REVUE - HOMOSEXUALITÉ] Inversions... dans l'art, la littérature, l'histoire, la philosophie et la science Paris, December 15, 1924-March 1, 1925. -2 issues in-4, sheets. 2 and 4 of the four issues of this extremely rare homosexual magazine, the second of its kind in France after the one founded by writer Jacques d'Adelswärd-Fersen in 1909 under the title "Akademos". Inversions" was founded 15 years later by two modest employees of the same village in the Gers region, Gustave-Léon Beyria and Gaston-Ernest Lestrade, both under the age of thirty. The first issue appeared on November 15, 1924. The editors were not active in Parisian literary circles, but they did manage to gather contributions from some of the most ardent defenders of homosexual rights, many of whom wrote under pseudonyms, such as Numa Praetorius (i.e. Daniel Eugène Wilhelm (1866-1951)), St. Ch. Waldecke (i.e. Ewald Tscheck (1895-1953)), Louis Estève, Willy (1859-1931), Georges Pioch (1874-1953), Claude Cahun (1894-1954), Georges d'Autry, Axieros (i.e. Pierre Guyolot-Dubasty (1898-1927)), Marcel Dartus, Havelock Ellis (1859-1939) and Camille Spiess (1878-1965). Four issues of the magazine were published before official complaints were lodged about its content (one critic called it "an official pederasty magazine, which unambiguously displayed its ignoble agenda"), leading to legal action. In April 1925, the magazine changed its name to "L'Amitié" to avoid prosecution. Only one issue appeared under this new title, and those responsible were eventually convicted of "outrage against public decency and propagation of anti-conceptional methods", resulting in the imprisonment of the two editors for three months. It wasn't until 1952 and the magazine "Futur" that homosexuals were once again able to express themselves in a periodical" (Michel Carassou). Copies of this magazine are very rare today, due in part to the use of poor-quality paper that made the publication fragile. These two issues are very well preserved, with only a few tears to the spines and two traces of horizontal folds.
