In April 1848, Georges Ohnet was born in Paris. He died on May 5, 1918. The Collège Sainte-Barbe and the Lycée Napoléon are where Ohnet went to school. Once the Franco-Prussian War was over, he was in charge of Pays and then Constitutionnel. Together with the engineer and playwright Louis Denayrouze, he put on the play Regina Sarpi, and in 1877, Marthe. Ohnet liked Georges Sand's work and didn't like realistic current books. He started writing a series of books called Les Batailles de la vie about a simple and idealistic character. The reviewers thought they were unrealistic and boring, but the books were a big hit. Serge Panine (1881), which won an award from the academy, Le Maitre de forges (1882), La Grande Marnière (1885), Volonté (1888), and Dernier Amour (1891) were all in this series. A lot of his books have been turned into plays that were big hits. For example, Le Maitre de forges were put on at the Gymnase in 1883 and ran for a whole year. Le Crépuscule (1902), Le Marchand de Poison (1903), La Conquérante (1905), La dixième muse (1906), La Route Rouge (1908), and La Serre de l'Aigle (1912) are some of his later works. Journal of a Bourgeois of Paris During the War of 1914 was his last book.
