Paul Morand (b. March 13, 1888, Paris. d. July 24, 1976) was a French diplomat, novelist, playwright and poet. He was a member of the Académie française
During the pre-war period, he wrote a great number of short books, of which many are very interesting, not only by the elegance of the style, the research of the formulas or promptness of the account, but also by the observation of the countries crossed with the glance of a large middle-class man.
Even if his work and its periods should not be separated from its chronology, the fact marking of the life of Paul Morand is his attitude lasting in to the Second World War. When the Second World War finished, he was an ambassador in Bern, which was to be revoked with the Release, and constrained with his exile in Switzerland.
He devoted himself to the continuation of his work. His attitude during the also attracted the hostility of Charles de Gaulle, which prevented him for a long time his admission to the Académie française.
Part of the novels (in particular the news) of Paul Morand was gathered in the collection "the Pleiad" (2 volumes, 1992).
