Alain Fournier

Alain-Fournier, whose real name was Henri-Alban Fournier, was born on October 3, 1886, in La Chapelle-d’Angillon, France. He adopted the pen name Alain-Fournier to distinguish himself from another writer named Henri-Alban Fournier. He only wrote a single work, as he was killed in WWI. (likely via Wikipedia)
