Eugène Alcan

Eugène Alcan (1811 – c. 1898) was a French Jewish litterateur, painter, and poet, who embraced Roman Catholic Christianity.[1] He was born in Paris in 1811, and died about 1898.[1] He was a brother of Alphonse Alkan, but the reason for the difference in the orthography of the family name has never been explained.[1]

Alcan was the author of the following works:[1]

  • La Légende des Âmes: Souvenirs de Quelques Conférences de Saint Vincent de Paul (1879)
  • La Flore Printanière: Souvenirs du Berceau et de la Première Enfance (1882)
  • La Flore du Calvaire: Traits Caractéristiques de Quelques Voies Douloureuses (1884)
  • Les Cannibales et Leur Temps: Souvenir de la Campagne de l'Océanie sous le Commandant Marceau, Capitaine de Frégate (1887)
  • Les Grands Dévouements et l'Impôt du Sang (1890)
  • Récits Instructifs du Père Balthazar (1892)
