Auguste Brizeux

Auguste Julien pelage Brizeux ( born September 12, 1803 in Lorient, † May 3, 1858 in Montpellier) was a French writer.

Bizeux was Abbé Marie -Joseph Lenir, a family friend, educated, who saw his primary purpose is to his students at good Christians and - to make good Latins - from reading of Virgil. Trained for a legal career, he began in 1825 to work on his first novel Marie, who appeared in 1828 in print and his childhood and youth in Brittany describes.

After a trip to Italy with Auguste Barbier he worked on a translation of Dante's "Divine Comedy ", which was published in 1843 in the print. After the Fleurs d' Or ( 1841) he published in 1845 his main work Les Bretons.

Since the early 1850s Brizeux suffered from tuberculosis. After he had ordered his manuscripts in April 1858 he traveled to an older half-brother to Montpellier, where he died on May 3. In his native city a monument to him in 1888 in the presence of Jules Simon and Ernest Renan inaugurated.
