Ossip Lourié

Born in 1868 and active across the worlds of literature, philosophy, and criticism, he wrote in French under the name Ossip-Lourié. French and library sources describe him as a Franco-Russian writer, and his published work shows a remarkably broad range of interests, from novels and essays to studies of major literary figures.

His bibliography includes books on Tolstoy, Ibsen, contemporary Russian thought, and the psychology of Russian novelists, suggesting a writer deeply interested in how ideas and literature shape each other. He also helped introduce Russian intellectual life to Western European readers through essays and critical works as well as creative writing.

Available records place his life between 1868 and 1955. A suitable confirmed portrait image was not available from the sources I checked, so no author photo is included here.
