About the author
Born in Reims in 1865, Pol Neveux was a French writer and librarian remembered for novels, stories, criticism, and literary essays. French reference sources identify him as both an author and a senior library official, reflecting a career that moved between creative writing and public cultural life.
Alongside his books, he served in the French library administration and became inspector general of libraries. He was elected to the Académie Goncourt in the 1920s, a sign of the esteem he held in French literary circles.
Neveux died in 1939. Today he is often remembered as a figure who connected several worlds at once: provincial roots in Champagne, the institutions of French letters, and the everyday work of preserving and promoting books.
