Andre Theuriet

Claude-Adhémar Andre Theuriet , born with Marly-the-King the October 8th 1833 and died in Borough-the-Queen the April 23rd 1907, is a poet, novelist and dramatic author French.

After having made its studies with Bar-le-Duc, it is teaching with Tours of 1859 to 1863. It makes then studies of right to Paris and becomes head clerk to the Ministry for finances. He is elected member of the French Academy in 1896.

André Theuriet is a writer who sings the soils, the forests, the middle-class small towns with an astonishing facility with communier with all the countries where its profession carries out. Thus, in Lorraine, in Argonne, Haute-Marne and in the Poitou, one regards it as a country.

It publishes many novels on Bar-le-Duc, the country of Auberive, the Touraine and the Poitou, the Savoy and the Argonne. The intrigue of its novels is often conventional and the characters incarnate all the great feelings of the time, sometimes in a stereotyped way. But its work leaves a precise and faithful testimony of the daily life in the cities and villages of province where passions seem magnifiées by the landscapes where they are born and the lyricism of the author.
