Edmond François Valentin About : ウィキペディア英語版 | Edmond François Valentin About
Edmond François Valentin About (14 February 1828 – 16 January 1885) was a French novelist, publicist and journalist. ==Biography== About was born at Dieuze, in the Moselle ''département'' in the Lorraine region of France.〔Chambers Biographical Dictionary, ISBN 0-550-18022-2, page 5〕 In 1848 he entered the École Normale, taking second place in the annual competition for admission in which Hippolyte Taine came first. Among his college contemporaries, besides Taine, were Francisque Sarcey, Challemel-Lacour and Prevost-Paradol. Of them all, About was considered the most highly vitalized, exuberant, brilliant and "undisciplined". It is said that one of his schoolmasters told him "You will never be more than a little Voltaire," and About's career did tend toward Voltaire-style witty satire and commentaries on contemporary issues. At the end of his college career, he joined the French school in Athens, but claimed that he had never intended to follow the professorial career for which the École Normale was a preparation, and in 1853 he returned to France and devoted himself to literature and journalism.
