Jean Mariotti
Died in 1975
Jean Mariotti was born in 1901 in New Caledonia, at Farino, into a family of settlers, and grew up on the stories of his Melanesian nurse. Educated in Nouméa, he settled in France at the age of twenty-three and wrote almost all his work in Paris, novels, poems and tales, which makes him the first notable writer of Caledonia. A street and a school in Nouméa bear his name today. He died in Paris in 1975.
