About the author
Albert Keim was a French biographer and author, born in 1876 and died in 1947. Reference sources and library records consistently identify him as a French writer, and his surviving bibliography shows a strong interest in biography, literary history, and cultural figures.
He is especially associated with short books on well-known personalities such as Honoré de Balzac, Louis Pasteur, Charles Dickens, Gérôme, and Richard Wagner. Some of these works were written with Louis Lumet, with whom he also appears to have collaborated on editorial projects.
Although detailed personal information is hard to confirm from readily available sources, his published work suggests a writer interested in presenting notable artists, thinkers, and scientists to general readers in a clear, accessible way.
