A French novelist, dramatist, and journalist; born in Paris in 1833; died there, Nov. 25, 1895. At an early age he devoted himself to journalism, and soon attracted attention by his hostility to the Empire. In 1870 he founded La Marseillaise and the famous Journal du Peuple. After the fall of the Empire he became a member of the Commune, and with its downfall barely escaped with his life. Besides essays and dramas, he is the author of a history of the Commune and over 30 novels, the best known being "Zoe" and "Princess Belladonna".
