About the author
Born Albert-Antoine Cimochowski in Bar-le-Duc on October 22, 1845, he wrote under the name Albert Cim. He became known in France as a novelist, literary critic, and bibliographer, building a career that connected imaginative writing with a deep interest in books and reading.
Cim is especially remembered for works about book culture, including Amateurs et voleurs de livres, which explores the passions and odd habits that surround collecting and loving books. Alongside those bibliophilic writings, he also published novels, showing a range that stretched from storytelling to criticism and literary commentary.
He died in Paris on May 8, 1924. Even now, he stands out as a writer for readers who enjoy authors that not only create books, but also think about why books matter so much in the first place.
