Georges Darien (pseudonym for Georges Hippolyte Adrien, born April 6, 1862 in Paris, † August 19, 1921 ) was a French author who is associated with anarchism.

Life

Georges Hippolyte Adrien was born the son of a cloth merchant in 1862 in the Rue du Bac in Paris No. 46. His brother Henri- Gaston, who was a genre painter who specialized in interiors and Parisian street scenes came two years later to the world. His mother died in 1869 and his father married Elise Antoinette Schlumberger, an Alsatian Protestant. The strict religiosity his stepmother stood in stark contrast to his later views that are attributable to the anti-clericalism. After his schooling at the Lycée Charlemagne in Paris, he joined a five-year volunteer in the army. Between June 1883 and March 1886, he was part of the battalion infantry d' légère d'Afrique in the Tunisian desert. During his service there, he spent nearly a year in captivity.

In 1889, he published his first book, Bas les coeur! , A satire on the impact of German - Prussian War in 1870 and the Paris Commune of 1871. Biribi 1890 followed, discipline militaire. As the author personally experienced, the prison camp was not a normal prison, but the ultimate punishment that had the French army for disrespectful behavior. The book inspired a campaign to reform the prison camp. In the same year Les and Les Chapons vrais Sous- offs have been published, which in 1891 Les Pharisiens followed. The latter was a fictional indictment of the French anti-Semitism and its most prominent advocate Édouard Drumont.

Between 1893 and 1905 he traveled often to London and eventually settled there on. He estimated the British culture and began to write in English. He also lived temporarily in Brussels and Wiesbaden, however, many aspects of his life 1891-1897 are largely unknown.

In 1899 he married Suzanne Caroline Abresch, who was born in 1863 in London as a child of German parents. The following year he wrote his seditious pamphlet La Belle France, which was published in 1901.

In the years 1903 and 1904 he contributed articles to the anarchist magazine L' Ennemi du peuple until it was finally discontinued due to permanent dispute with Charles Malato. In the same year he published the novel L' epaulette.

In the late 1890s he discovered the Georgismus, inspired by the American economist Henry George doctrine of a tax exclusively on land ownership, for themselves. He ran unsuccessfully in local, cantonal and parliamentary elections in Paris. In addition, he devoted himself to the theater, where his last years not much is known. He died on 19 August 1921 as widowed and newly married man.

In France, Georges Darien was rediscovered after the publisher Jean -Jacques Le Pauvert Voleur (1955) and Bas les cœurs! (1957 ) re-released. In 1967 a film version of Le Voleur by Louis Malle.
