About the author

Born in Paris in 1880 and dead there in 1955, Emmanuel Bourcier was a French man of letters whose records describe him as writing in French and working across several forms, including books and journalism.

Library and reference sources connect him with reportage, novels, and screen work. His known books include Gens de mer (1916), Gens du front (1918), Dans l'Amérique en guerre (1918), and Paul mon frère (1923), showing a strong interest in war, travel, and everyday people under pressure.

Bourcier also contributed to film writing in the late 1930s, including work linked to La France est un empire and Sommes-nous défendus?. A reliable portrait image was not clearly available from the sources I could confirm, so no profile image is included here.
