1395058 Are there any non-fiction books on the amazing lives of French figures pre-1970? I'm not looking for very mainstream names such as Napoleon, but someone more out of the way yet fascinating, so I can expand my knowledge of French culture.

Merci!

324433 Jean Jacques Rousseau is interesting. You can also learn a lot about him, fictionally, by reading Alexandre Dumas. Dumas is fascinating too, of course.

2185083 You can check out novels of Emile Zola and especially the Rougon-Macqaurt, which is about 20 books, undertitled "Histoire naturelle et sociale d'une famille sous le Second Empire" ;-)
