Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SIV-SOU
SOUVESTRE, SMILE (1806-1854) ,
French
  novelist, was
born
  on the 15th of
April
  1806. He was the son of a civil engineer, a native of Morlaix. He was by turns a bookseller's assistant, a private schoolmaster, a journalist, and master at the
grammar
  schools of Brest and of Miilhausen. He settled in Paris in 1836, where he was made (1848)
professor
  in a school for the instruction of civil servants. He began his literary career with a drama, played at the Theatre francais in 1828, the Siege de Missolonghi. In novel writing he did much better than for the stage, although he deliberately aimed at making the novel an
engine
  of moral instruction. His best
work
  is undoubtedly to be found in the charming Derniers Bretons (4 vols., 1835-1837) and Foyer
breton
  (1844), where the folk-
lore
  and natural features of his native province are worked up into story form, and in Un Philosophe sous les toils, which received in 1851 a well deserved academic prize. He also wrote a number of other worksnovels, dramas, essays and miscellanies. He died in Paris on the 5th of July 1854.
