Pierre La Mazière

Born in Paris on February 5, 1879, and dying there on November 6, 1947, Pierre La Mazière was a French author whose work ranged across novels, biographies, and reportage. Records from the Bibliothèque nationale de France list more than thirty resources connected to his name, showing a career that was broad rather than confined to a single genre.

Modern readers are most likely to encounter him through titles preserved by Project Gutenberg, including Mireille des Trois Raisins and Partant pour la Syrie. That second book is especially revealing: it presents a journey through Lebanon and Syria in the mid-1920s and has the feel of literary journalism, blending observation, politics, and travel.

Taken together, his surviving books suggest a versatile early-20th-century French man of letters: interested in character, history, and places in upheaval, and comfortable writing both imaginative fiction and works grounded in real events.
