xxx/ellauri128.html on line 533: Interprète militaire et officier de liaison auprès du BEF (Corps Expéditionnaire Britannique) en France et en Flandres pendant la Première Guerre mondiale, Maurois écrit en 1918 Les Silences du colonel Bramble, ouvrage qui connaîtra un vif succès tant en France que dans les pays anglo-saxons. Il y traduisit sous le titre Tu seras un homme, mon fils le célèbre poème If de Rudyard Kipling. Cet ouvrage sera suivi des Discours du docteur O´Grady. Les événements de cette guerre lui fournissent son pseudonyme « Maurois », nom d´un village du nord de la France.

Respecté de ses pairs, il restera assis dans le fauteuil près de trente ans. Par un décret du président de la République du 27 juin 1947, il est autorisé à changer de patronyme de Herzog en André-Maurois. Son nom de plume devient ainsi son nom officiel.

This was not exactly hidden, but it was not brought to the fore, either. Maurois, who was born Émile Herzog on July 26, 1885, found out that he was Jewish at the age of about six, when a friend at the local Protestant church told him so. His parents confirmed it, but they also spoke highly of Protestantism.

He gave Maurois a love of literature but also, perhaps surprisingly, urged him to take up the mill business after leaving school. Maurois did so, but in his Elbeuf office he kept a secret cupboard filled with Balzac novels and notebooks, and copied out pages of Stendhal to improve his writing style. He became a Kipling enthusiast, and learned excellent English. He travelled to Paris at least one day a week, and frequented brothels there.

Janine matched a template that he had got from a book that influenced his erotic fantasies permanently. With her Slavic features and her cool, rather fey manner, Wanda "Janine" de Szymkiewicz (though Polish) made a perfect Russian queen. She called him Minou, he called her Ginou. Sini ja mini. Sometime in the early nineteen-twenties, Maurois began having affairs. Janine had them, too, or at least flirtations, aquarels of fucking, especially on their seaside vacations in Deauville. Maurois put a lot of his own personality into Shelley, and wrote of Harriet as a “child-wife” made bitter by unhappiness. Emil could be savage: “Even when she had the air of being interested in ideas, her indifference was proved by the blankness of her gaze. Worst of all, she was coquettish, frivolous, versed in the tricks and wiles of woman.” Fortunately, becoming pregnant again in late 1922, Janine developed septicemia, was operated on unsuccessfully, and died on February 26, 1923. Maurois was bereaved, and free. Jahuu! Vihelteliköhän sekin koko matkan hautajaisiin kuten Peppy? Rakkaus on hassuttelua yhdessä.

Maurois">Andre Maurois toimi molempien elämäkerturina, pitäisikö lukea. Elsassin juutalainen Herzog ei tainnut kyllä olla mikään huumormies. Sen perhe oli seinäverkon kutojia. Herttuasta tuli maailmansodan jälkeen huono kuningas. Se oli vähän tollanen sakkolihan mezästäjä kuin Valesnesin herra. Munasäkillä on kyllä sana hallussa, sitä ei käy kieltäminen:
