Hector Malot

Hector Malot was born on 20 May 1830 in La Bouille, in Seine-Maritime. He studied law in Rouen and Paris, and began to write while working for a notary, before giving up law for literature. He contributed to several newspapers as a drama and literary critic. His first novel, in 1859, was a great success, and he went on to publish about seventy more over some forty years, often close to melodrama. He died in Fontenay-sous-Bois in July 1907.
