Le Corsaire aka The Privateer by Marcel Achard – if you search for the author on The Greatest Books of All Time, which goes to 20,000 entries or more, you get…Marcel Proust, presumably, because Marcel Achard is not relevant enough, although he was elected, at the age of sixty, as member of The French Academy; you find more of my notes at https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2026/08/do-you-have-any-suggestions-how-to-make.html
