Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RHY-RON
ROD, EDOUARD (1857-1910) , French-Swiss novelist, was born at Nyon, in Switzerland, on the 31st of
March
  1857. He studied at Lausanne and Berlin, and in 1878 found his way to Paris. In 1881 he dedicated his novel, Palmyre Veulard, to Zola, of whom he was at this period of his career a faithful disciple. A
series
  of novels of similar tendency followed. In 1884 he became editor of the Revue contemporaine, and in 1887 succeeded Marc
Monnier
  as professor of
comparative
  literature at Geneva, where he remained till 1893. La Course d la mort (1885) marks a turning-point in his career; in it he
forsook the so-called naturalistic novel for the
analysis
  of moral motives. He is at his best in presenting cases of conscience, the struggle between passion and duty, and the virtues of renunciation. Le Sens de la vie (1889), one of his most famous books, is in the nature of a
complement
  to La Course d la mort. It was followed by Les Trois cceurs (189o), La Sacrifice (1892), La Vie privee de Michel Teissier (1893), translated as The Private Life of an Eminent Politician (1893); La Seconde Vie de Michel Teissier (1894), Le Silence (1894), Les Roches blanches (1895), Le Dernier
Refuge
  (1896), Le
Menage
  du Pasteur Naudie (1898), a study of
Protestant
  France; L'Eau courante (1902), L'Inutile Effort (1903), Un Vainqueur (1904), L'Indocile (1905), and L'Incendie (1906). M. Rod's books of literary criticism include Les Idees morales du temps present (1897), an admirable Essai sur Goethe (1898), Stendhal (1892), and some columns of collected essays. He published L'Affaire J. J. Rousseau in 1906, and in the same year he drew from an episode in the life of the philosopher a play in three acts, Le Reformateur, which was produced at the Nouveau Theatre. He died in January 1910.
