About the author
Born in Saint-Jean-de-Muzols, Ardèche, on May 26, 1866, Paul Brulat was a French writer and journalist. Library and reference sources identify him as both a novelist and a man of the press, and he is especially associated with fiction shaped by modern public life.
Brulat wrote novels including Le Reporter and L'Âme errante, and he also contributed to newspapers and magazines. That mix of journalism and literature helped give his writing a lively, contemporary feel, with an interest in society, ideas, and the pressures of the modern world.
He died at Le Chesnay on June 30, 1940. Though not widely known today, he remains an interesting figure for readers curious about French literary life at the turn of the twentieth century and the close ties between fiction and journalism.
