First Name Albert
Last Name Cossery
Born on November 3, 1913
Died on June 22, 2008 (aged 94)

Albert Cossery was an Egyptian-born French writer of Levantine origin. Although Cossery lived most of his life in Paris and only wrote in the French language, all of his novels were either set in his home country of Egypt or in an imaginary Middle Eastern country. He was nicknamed "The Voltaire of the Nile". His writings pay tribute to the humble and to the misfits of his childhood in Cairo, as well as praise a form of laziness and simplicity very distant from our contemporary society.
