Achille Essebac (January 29, 1868 – August 1, 1936) was a French writer primarily known for his novel ''Dédé'' about an ill-fated homoerotic friendship between two schoolboys. Essebac was a pseudonym, since his original surname Bécasse is a derogatory word for goose. Essebac was a friend of Jacques d'Adelswärd-Fersen and defended him against accusations of indecency caused by Fersen's penchant for ''tableaux vivants'' at his house in Avenue de Friedland. In 1909, Essebac also contributed an article for Fersen's short-lived gay-interest journal ''Akademos''. However, apart from the article, Essebac largely avoided writing about homosexuality after the Fersen scandal. Essebac was also a photographer of young men, preferably clothed in Renaissance or medieval theatrical costumes. A recently rediscovered album with 156 photographs by him was sold for €3,500 in Paris. In the 1920s and early 1930s the ''Dédé-bar'' existed in Berlin, which was a gay bar named after Essebac's most well-known gay character from his novels. ==Books== *''Partenza... vers la beauté !'', 1898 *''Dédé'', 1901 *''Luc'', 1902 *''L’Élu'', 1902 *''Les Boucs'', 1903 *''Les Griffes'', 1904 *''Nuit païenne'', 1907 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Achille Essebac」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
