Biography
Pierre-Jules Renard (pronounced [pjɛʁ ʒyl ʁənaʁ]; 22 February 1864 – 22 May 1910) was a French novelist, playwright, and diarist. He was a member of the Académie Goncourt and is acclaimed for Poil de carotte (Carrot Top, 1894), a bitterly ironical account of his own childhood. His other famous works include, Les Histoires Naturelles (Nature Stories, 1896), Le Plaisir de rompre (The Pleasure of Breaking, 1898), and the posthumously published Huit Jours à la campagne (Eight Days in the Country, 1912).
