Life

Énault first studied law in Paris and then worked as a lawyer. Politically, he was a believer in legitimism . As such, he was arrested after the June uprising in 1848 . After his release, he toured northern Europe and the Mediterranean region. In his travel diary he wrote a detailed description of the historical center of Genoa .

Back in France, he graduated from the University of Caen as a docteur ès lettre in 1851 . For this he submitted a work on the Greek poet Aeschylus . He then worked primarily as a journalist and worked for the newspapers La Vie à la campagne , au Le Constitutionnel et à la Gazette , Le Figaro , L'Illustration . He is also known as a translator of literary works. He did a translation of The Sorrows of Young Werther by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and he translated Uncle Tom's Hut by Harriet Beecher Stowe into French. There was an intensive collaboration between Énault and Gustave Doré , who, for example, contributed graphics to his travel literature. Énaut also published under the pseudonym Louis de Vernon . He died in Paris in 1900. The writer Jules Romains named Louis Énault as an example of an author who was forgotten even before his death and was of no importance to the younger generation.
