Georges Ohnet

Georges Ohnet, actually Georges Henot ( born April 3, 1848 in Paris, † May 5, 1918 ) was a French editor, journalist and writer.

Life

When after the Franco-German war, the political situation had returned to normal, he was called Ohnet editor of the Paris newspapers Le Constitutionnel and Le Pays. But addition to this task Ohnet could also journalistic work in various other newspapers and magazines, such as Gil Blas, publish.

In addition Ohnet 1875 in collaboration with Louis Denayrouze created the play Regina Carpi. With the play Marthe could repeat this success later, both two years.

Ohnet was a great admirer of the writer George Sand and rejected the contemporary " realistic novel " vehemently. With his novel cycle Les batailles de la vie, he enrolled in the hearts of his audience; the official literary criticism rejected this as trivial literature categorically. But some of his other novels - even in the form of dramatized on stage - fell in the critique by most. The editions of his books spoke a different language, and so could Ohnet after some time the Chateau Des Bondons at La Ferte- sous -Jouarre ( Seine- et- Marne ) buy.

Georges Ohnet died five weeks after his 70th birthday on May 5, 1918 in Paris and found his final resting place.
