About Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt
Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt is a French writer who was born in 1960 and made a Belgian citizen in 2008. He knew he wanted to be a writer when he was still at school and, although he went on to study philosophy, he tried his hand at theater in the 1990s. This first foray into literature was very successful. He therefore decided to abandon philosophy to fully concentrate on his writing. He wrote his first book in 1994, and has since written a number of novels and won over readers of all ages.
