Autorenporträt
Jules Lermina was a French novelist, journalist and political activist born on 27 March 1839 in Paris, France. He began his career as a journalist in 1859 and became closely associated with socialist movements of the time. His dedication to these ideals led to several years of imprisonment but also earned him the support of Victor Hugo who admired his commitment. Lermina's early novels appeared under the pseudonym William Cobb allowing him to establish his literary voice while navigating the challenges posed by his political stance. His work as both a writer and activist reflected his deep concern for social justice and human rights. Lermina balanced his passion for storytelling with his engagement in political discourse producing novels essays and journalistic pieces that captured the complexities of the society around him. He continued to write and advocate for change until his death on 23 June 1915 at the age of 76 in Paris France. He was survived by his child Juliette Lermina Flandre leaving behind a lasting literary and political legacy.
