1844-1924. Prolific French author who wrote under the pseudonym Anatole France. He wrote in almost all existing genres, including comic books. He has fallen to obscurity. He started as a librarian and wrote in his spare time. Many of his novels touch on areas of the French Revolutions. After his death, it became a social sin of sorts to admit that he was a decent writer, and his works never fully recovered, save a few 1980's printings of his books in English.
