Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt

French novelist, playwright, essayist and philosopher. He started his career as a professor of philosophy at the University of Savoy Mont Blanc - Chambery; however, after the enormous success of his plays – La Nuit de Valognes, staged in 1991 at the Comédie des Champs-Elysées Theatre in Paris, as well as Le Visiteur in 1993, he left his job at the university to focus on writing. In 2001, he won the Grand Prix du Théâtre de l'Académie Française. In 2010, he received Prix Goncourt for his collection of short stories Concerto à la mémoire d'un ange. His works have been translated into forty-four languages, with dozens of books published in Poland. Each of his books is sold in staggering number of copies, while his plays are regularly staged in more than fifty countries. This makes Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt one of the most popular Francophone authors in the world. He lives in Belgium and is a member of the Royal Academy of French Language and Literature of Belgium.

Member of the Goncourt Academy since January 2016.
