Jeanne Marni

Others of her works, that have been translated into English and other languages, include Frangoise, Reaction, Le Veilleur and La Piece do Vin.

In March, 1907, a writer for Le Figaro said: "Jeanne Marni is totally different from the conception we generally have of a literary woman.

Her cheeks are rosy, her eyes dreamy, her smile full of charm, and her costume always one of sober color and soft material.

Her intimate knowledge of the human heart has made her a rather cynical philosopher, but one without bitterness, for she is endowed with an excellent sense of humor."

By reason of her health, the active life of Paris was somewhat severe for her, but she has a villa at Cannes, where she lived and worked for nine months of the year.

To the drama, Marni contributed a large number of one-act plays: L’Aile, La Coopérative, L’heureux Auteur, and two works of considerable importance: Manoune (1901), and Le Joug (1902).

Marni was not indulgent toward the weaknesses of masculine humanity, and with her disconcerting knowledge of man's petty vices, she was able to denounce them effectively and seemed to feel a vengeful joy in so doing.
