1833–1907
A gentle, observant voice of nineteenth-century France, André Theuriet wrote poetry, novels, short stories, and plays steeped in the landscapes and quiet emotions of provincial life. His work is especially loved for its vivid evocations of forests, flowers, and rural communities.

André Theuriet was a French poet, novelist, and dramatist, born in Marly-le-Roi on October 8, 1833, and educated in Bar-le-Duc. His early poetry brought him recognition from the Académie française, while his later fiction established him as a prolific writer of romantic and regional stories.
Over the course of his career, Theuriet published around forty volumes of novels, tales, and short stories, as well as works for the stage, including Jean-Marie and Raymonde. His writing is known for its lyrical descriptions of nature and its sympathetic portraits of provincial life.
He was elected to the Académie française in 1896 and died in Bourg-la-Reine on April 23, 1907.
