EMILE POUVILLON (1840-1906), French novelist, was born at Montauban (Tarn et Garonne). He published in 1878 a collection of stories entitled Nouvelles realistes. Making himself the chronicler of his native province of Quercy, he painted its scenery and its life with great clearness of outline and without exaggeration. His books include Cesette (1881), the story of a peasant girl; L'Innocent (1884); Jean-de-Jeanne (1886); Le Cheval bleu (1888); Le V ceu d'être chaste (1900); Chante-pleure (1890); Les Antibel (1892); Petites (Imes (1893); Mademoiselle Clemente (1896); Pays et paysages (1895); Petites gens (1905); Bernadette de Lourdes (1894), a mystery; and Le Roi de Rome (1898),(1898), a play. He died at Chambery.
