CROWNED BY THE FRENCH ACADEMY
French author Andre Theuriet is well known for his many poems and novels focusing on the woodland life, as well as his emphasis on drama rather than adventure.
And plainly, that's so here: After his father dies intestate -- that is, leaving no will -- Claudet de Buxieres' future seems grim. When Julien de Buxieres, a distant cousin, arrives to assume control of Claudet's rightful inheritance, it looks as though a struggle will ensue over who will control the late Claude Buxieres' estate. Instead, after an initial cool reception, the two become close friends and the conflict arises from their mutual attraction to the same girl.

About the Author:
Claude Adhémar André Theuriet (1833 - 1907) was a 19th-century French poet and novelist. Theuriet was born at Marly-le-Roi (Seine et Oise) and was educated at Bar-le-Duc in his mother's province of Lorraine. Theuriet studied law in Paris and joined the public service, attaining the rank of chef de bureau, before his retirement during 1886. He published during 1867 the Chemin des bois, a volume of poems, many of which had been published already in the Revue des Deux Mondes; Le bleu et le noir, poèmes de la vie réelle (1874), Nos oiseaux (1886) and other volumes followed. Theuriet gives natural, simple description of rustic and especially woodland life and Théophile Gautier compared him to Shakespeare's Jaques of the forest of Arden. The best of his novels are those that deal with provincial and country life. Theuriet received during 1890 the prix Vitet from the Académie française, of which he became a member during 1896. He was made a Chevalier de la Légion d'honneur during 1879 and was made an Officier de la Légion d'honneur during 1895.
