Robert Merle

Robert Merle (August 28 1908 - March 28 2004) was a French novelist. Born in Tebessa in French occupied Algeria, he moved to France in 1918. Merle wrote in many styles and won the Prix Goncourt for his novel Week-end Zuydcoote. He has also written a 12 book series of historical novels, Fortune de France. Recreating 16th and 17th century France through the eyes of a fictitious Protestant doctor turned spy, he went so far as to write it in the period's French making it virtually untranslatable. He died of a heart attack in his house near Paris.
