Maurice Dekobra (26 May 1885, Paris – 1 June 1973, Paris) was a French writer. His real name was Ernest-Maurice Tessier.[1][2]
Viewed [by whom?] as a subversive writer in the 1920s and 1930s, he became one of the best-known French writers between the First and the Second World Wars.[1] His books have been translated into 77 languages, and he has been described as an early example of an international best-seller writer. This is particularly true of his best known work, La Madone des Sleepings (1925).[1][3]
In spite of this, and the publication of a biography by Philippe Collas in 2001, he was declared a "total unknown"[1] in 2005, though the republication of La Madone des Sleepings by the publisher Zulma[4] in 2006 has increased awareness of him, at least in France.[5]
