Alain-Fournier

Biography

Alain-Fournier was a gifted French writer whose literary talents showed great promise in the early twentieth century. His creative voice was silenced when he fell in 1914 during the opening year of World War I.

Though his life was brief, his literary legacy endures. He is honored at the national necropolis of Saint-Remy-la-Calonne, remembered as a writer of considerable talent whose contributions to French literature were cut short by the demands of war.
