    Erckmann-Chatrian Description de cette image, également commentée ci-après Émile Erckmann et Alexandre Chatrian par Pierre Petit. Données clés Nom de naissance Émile Erckmann Alexandre Chatrian Données clés modifierConsultez la documentation du modèle Erckmann-Chatrian est le pseudonyme collectif utilisé de 1847 à 1887 par deux écrivains français : Émile Erckmann (né le 21 mai 1822 à Phalsbourg et mort le 14 mars 1899 à Lunéville) et Alexandre Chatrian (né le 18 décembre 1826 à Soldatenthal et mort le 3 septembre 1890 à Villemomble). Ils ont également écrit sous leurs patronymes respectifs. Nés tous deux en Meurthe (actuelle Moselle) et amis, ils ont écrit un grand nombre de romans nationalistes d'inspiration régionale exaltant le sentiment patriotique. Dans leur oeuvre, le réalisme rustique, influencé par les conteurs de la Forêt-Noire, se transfigure en une sorte d'épopée populaire.

      I learned of this from M.R. James' essay "Some Remarks on Ghost Stories," in which he writes favorably of the stories of Erckmann-Chatrian. I couldn't pass up the chance to try some of them out, and found them worth a read, if not rising to the level of James' stories in creepiness or quality of the writing. He absolutely must have hated "The Spider of Guyana," though! The title story, "The Man-Wolf," was the one I most enjoyed: good, classic, gothic suspense.
