- Michel Zévaco was born on February 1, 1860 in Ajaccio, Corsica, France. He was a writer and director, known for Déchéance (1918), Clash of Steel (1962) and Nostradamus (1925). He died on August 8, 1918 in Eaubonne, Val-d'Oise, France.
- From 1905, he alternated with Gaston Leroux to provide the popular suspenseful serial-novels for 'Le Matin' newspaper.
- In his autobiographical 'Les Mots' (1963), Jean-Paul Sartre singled out his childhood love of Zevaco's swashbuckling stories in the newspaper as the first Republican 'cape and sword' historical adventures, as the ordinary man was able to bring down royalty or church figures when justified.
