The author (1862–1942) was a novelist and an engineer who graduated from the École Polytechnique; he coined the term ‘telecommunication’ in 1904. A psychologist and moralist, he was the literary and melancholic chronicler of the bourgeoisie. Elected to the Académie française in 1923. ‘Now it is my turn: would you allow me to ask you for a great favour? I would indeed be most pleased if, thanks to you, the bearer of this note might receive a warm and attentive welcome at Hachette [...] He is one of those for whom it is both desirable and commendable to offer a helping hand at the start of their career, and that is why I have no hesitation in knocking on your door.”
