Tristan Corbière

Édouard-Joachim Corbière, known as Tristan, was born on 18 July 1845 at the manor of Coat-Congar, in Ploujean, near Morlaix, the son of Édouard Corbière, a sailor and writer of maritime novels. In fragile health from adolescence, he lived for several years in Roscoff, where he sailed his own boats, then in Paris. His only collection of verse appeared in 1873, at his father's expense, and found almost no readers in his lifetime. He died in Morlaix in 1875, aged twenty-nine.
