Autor

Max O'Rell was the pen name of L�on Paul Blouet (1848-1903), a French author, humorist, and journalist, best known for his satirical takes on Anglo-American society and culture. Born in Brittany, France, O'Rell initially pursued a career in teaching, but his sharp wit and distinctive commentary soon led him to the literary world. He gained fame with the publication of 'John Bull & Co' (1886), which humorously critiqued English society based on his experiences living in England. His writing was characterized by its accessible style, humor, and keen observations on human nature. One of O'Rell's celebrated works is 'Friend Mac Donald' (1887), which continued his exploration of societal quirks, through the story of an amicable Scottish character navigating life in England. O'Rell's literary contributions reflect his adeptness at skewering social conventions and highlighting the idiosyncrasies of cultural interactions. His books remain an interesting snapshot of 19th-century societal norms and the often amusing misunderstandings that can arise between different cultures.
