Autorenporträt
Octave Feuillet was a French author and playwright who lived from July 11, 1821, to December 29, 1890. His writing is in the middle of the realist and romanticist schools. The way he writes, how he shows female characters, how he analyzes their minds and feelings, and his "distinguished and lucid portraiture of life" have made him famous. His 1858 book Le Roman d'un jeune homme pauvre (The Story of a Poor Young Man) is still his most well-known work. It has been made into many movies in Italy, France, and Argentina. He was born in Saint-Lô, Manche, which is in Normandy. His father, Jacques Feuillet, was a well-known lawyer and La Manche's Secretary-General. He was also very sensitive and couldn't do much. When he was young, his mother died. Feuillet got some of his father's nervousness and irritability, but not as much. He was sent to the Lycée Louis-le Grand in Paris, where he did very well and was promised a good job in the foreign service. In 1840, he told his father that he wanted to be a writer instead of a minister, which was what his father had wanted for a long time.
