Georges Courteline
Georges Courteline , actually Georges Moineau (born June 25, 1858 in Tours , † June 25, 1929 in Paris ), was a French novelist and playwright . He was the son of the writer Jules Moinaux . In his satires he caricatured the military and civil servants by depicting the everyday absurdities of these worlds.
He lived near Paris's Montmartre for the longest time since childhood . From his relationship with the actress Suzanne Berty (1868-1902), whom he married shortly before her death in Villette , he had a daughter and a son. In 1907 he married the actress Marie-Jeanne Brécou (1869–1967). He moved with her to the Quartier du Bel-Air, where today a street - Avenue Courteline - and a small park - Square Courteline - bear his name. His grave is in the Père Lachaise cemetery in Paris .
In 1899 Courteline was accepted into the French Legion of Honor and in 1926 into the Académie Goncourt . Also in 1926 he received a prize from the Académie française .
