Georges Darien (pseudonym for Georges Hippolyte Adrien), (6 April 1862 – 19 August 1921), was a French writer described as an anarchist. April 6 is the 96th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar (97th in leap years). ...
1862 was a common year starting on Wednesday (see link for calendar). ...
August 19 is the 231st day of the year (232nd in leap years) in the Gregorian Calendar. ...
1921 (MCMXXI) was a common year starting on Saturday (see link for calendar). ...
Anarchism is the name for both a political philosophy and manner of organizing society, derived from the Greek αναÏχία (without archons or without rulers). Thus anarchism, in its most general meaning, is the belief that all forms of rulership are undesirable and should be abolished. ...
Darien's mother died while he was still an infant, and he was raised by his strict Catholic mother-in-law, which may explain the anti-clericalism view he would later hold. An infant Infant is a slightly more formal word for baby, the youngest category of child. ...
Anti-clericalism is a historical movement that opposes religious (generally Catholic) institutional power and influence in all aspects of public and political life, and the encroachment of religion in the everyday life of the citizen. ...
He later joined the army, but his insubordination has him sent to a prison camp, in Tunisia, where he found ideas for a book, Biribi.
Little is known about his life, hence some associate the writer's life to the life of Le Voleur's protagonist, Randal. Between 1891 and 1897, Georges Darien disappears, travels to Belgium, Germany, and London, and comes back with the manuscript for a new book, Le Voleur (The Thief). Rediscovered in 1955, this book assured him celebrity. For other uses, see London (disambiguation). ...
In addition to his book, Darien was one of the most violent pamphlet writer of his time. A pamphlet is an unbound booklet (that is, without a hard cover or binding). ...
