Abraham Albert Cohen (August 16, 1895 – October 17, 1981) was a Greek-born Romaniote Jewish Swiss novelist who wrote in French.

Albert's parents, who owned a soap factory, moved to Marseille, France, when he was a child.

[2] Albert Cohen discusses this period in his novel Le Livre de ma mère (The Book of My Mother).

In 1947, Cohen returned to Geneva where he held a senior post in International Refugee Organization until 1954.

It is the story of the radiant Solal – Cohen's double – a handsome and successful civil servant of the League of Nations whose charismatic identity is a constant struggle between his Jewish roots and his social status.

His masterpiece, Belle du Seigneur, originally included the novel that was later published as Les Valeureux.
