| Writer, born in Cully, W Switzerland. He spent some time in Paris before World War 1, and his first novel, Le Petit Village (The Little Village), appeared in 1903. One of the best-known French-Swiss writers of the 20th-c, his prose style and descriptive power won him wide admiration and repute. Most of his works were written after he was 40, and include Beauté sur la terre (1927, Beauty on Earth), and Présence de la mort (1922, trans The Triumph of Death). |
