Monsieur de Camors, Volume 3

Born in 1821, Octave Feuillet emerged as a prominent French novelist and dramatist, initially destined for a diplomatic career. His literary journey began with successful collaborations in theater alongside Paul Bocage. Feuillet achieved notable recognition with his 1852 novel Bellak and the comedy La Crise. His contributions to literature earned him a place in the French Academy in 1862, and he later served as the librarian of Fontainebleau palace. His works reflect a blend of personal experience and the cultural milieu of 19th-century France.
