About the book: year / "Henri-François-Joseph de Regnier was born on December 28, 1864 in Gonfleur, an ancient and picturesque town located like an amphitheater on the hills near the mouth of the Seine .He is currently forty-five years old. He is in full bloom of his creativity. He looks younger than his years. There is something tired and youthful about his tall and lean figure.
