Goncourt Academy is a prestigious French literary institution based in Paris, founded in 1882 by the French writer and publisher Edmond de Goncourt (1822-1896) who wanted to create a new way to promote literature in France. The Prix Goncourt is a prize in French literature, given by the Académie Goncourt to the author of "the best and most imaginative prose work of the year".
