A French novelist and publicist; born at Charmes-sur-Moselle, Aug. 17, 1862. His political career has been successful, but less important than his work in literature, he being conspicuous in the "decadent" school owing to his fictions: "Under the Eye of the Barbarians", a study in egoism; "The Sensation of Paris"; and "The Latin Quarter" (all in 1888), in all of which the artificialities of an over-refined culture are apparent.
