| Pseudonym of the brothers Joseph Henri Boëx (1856–1940) and Séraphin Justin François Boëx (1859–1948), French novelists, born in Brussels, Belgium. Their vast output of social novels, naturalistic in character, includes L'Immolation (1887) and L'Impérieuse Bonté (1905). After they separated in 1908, the older Rosny wrote L'Appel au bonheur (1919), and La Vie amoureuse de Balzac (1930); the younger wrote La Courtesane passionée (1925) and La Pantine (1929). |
