Jean Tharaud

Jean Tharaud (May 9th 1877 with Saint-Junien - April 8th 1952 with Paris) is a writer French.

Biography

Jean and Jerome Tharaud (1874-1953), his brother, were born in Saint-Junien in High-Vienna, but pass their youth to Angouleme.

They will continue a work during fifty years with four hands, always signing their two first names, the junior charged with the first jet, the elder one, Jerome, person in charge of the development. Untiring travellers, they traversed many countries, the Palestine, the Iran, the Morocco, the Romania, and bring back their voyages the matter of reports and books.

In 1946, Jean Tharaud is elected with the 4 {{E}} armchair of the French Academy to replace Louis Bertrand. The election of Jerome Tharaud in 1939 had posed to the academicians a case of conscience: the writer, indeed, was only “half of a couple of authors” and they could not elect both simultaneously.
