Andre Morois is a famous French writer, a member of the French Academy, a classic of French literature of the 20th century. His creative heritage is vast and multifaceted - psychological novels, short stories, travel essays, historical and literary works, etc. He is also a recognized master of novelized biographies of Dumas, Balzac, Victor Victor Galsa, and others. But above all, Morua is a recognized master of novelized biographies of Dumas, Balzac, Victor Hugo and others. Therefore, the writer's turn to the genre of literary portrait - a kind of mini-biography, a small essay dedicated to one or another colleague was not accidental. By combining essays into cycles, Morua built his history of literary development. This book combines literary portraits of mainly French writers (Voltaire, Rousseau, Stendhal, Balzac, Flaubert, Valéry, de Saint-Exupéry, etc.), but there are also essays on Goethe, Dickens, Leo Tolstoy. Objectivity and erudition of the scientist is organically combined in them with the skill of presentation and accuracy of psychological observations. Morua perfectly conveys the contradictory nature of the characters of his heroes and reveals the complex nature of creativity. This edition was compiled in two author's collections of 1964 - "From Labruyere to Proust" and "From Proust to Camus".
