Buried But Not Quite Dead: Forgotten Writers of Père Lachaise - Paperback
by Anthony Daniels (Author)
While many famous writers - Balzac, Proust, Oscar Wilde - are buried at Paris's Père Lachaise Cemetery, "there are also writers, many more of them in fact, buried there who have been completely forgotten, not necessarily because they were not good but because cultural memory is necessarily limited."
In eight chapters, the inimitable Anthony Daniels dilates on some forgotten writers of Père Lachaise, exploring their literary merit and the amusing byways of history, aiming "to entertain while illustrating the inexhaustible depth of our past."Anthony Daniels was born in London in 1949. He trained as a doctor and psychiatrist, and travelled the world. He has written a series of travel books including one about the peripheral communist countries. Under his own name and his pseudonym, Theodore Dalrymple, has written thousands of articles for a wide variety of publications in many countries.
