Transcription

Early life

Lev Aslanovich Tarasov[3] (Russian: Лев Асланович Тарасов, Lev Aslanovich Tarasov) was born in Moscow to parents of mixed heritage, including Armenian,[4] Russian, German and Georgian. In his autobiography, he states that his surname is Armenian (Torossian), while his maternal grandmother was German and his maternal grandfather was of mixed Georgian and Armenian descent.[5] His family fled Russia after the outbreak of the revolution. After a long exodus taking them to the Caucasus on to Crimea and later by sea to Istanbul and then Venice, the family finally settled in Paris in 1920, where young Troyat was schooled and later earned a law degree. The stirring and tragic events of this flight across half of Europe are vividly recounted by Troyat in Tant que la terre durera.

Career

Troyat received his first literary award, Le prix du roman populaire, at the age of twenty-four, and by twenty-seven, he was awarded the Prix Goncourt. He published more than 100 books, novels and biographies, among them those of Anton Chekhov, Catherine the Great, Rasputin, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Ivan the Terrible and Leo Tolstoy. Troyat's best-known work is La neige en deuil, which was adapted as an English-language film in 1956 under the title The Mountain.

Troyat was elected as a member of the Académie Française in 1959. At the time of his death, he was the longest-serving member.

Personal life and death

Troyat's first marriage produced a son before ending in divorce. He later married a widow with a young daughter whom he raised as his own. He died on 2 March 2007 in Paris.[6]

Non-fiction

In popular culture

A fictionalised version of Henry Troyat is featured in the 2014–2015 Image Comics Millarworld comic book series MPH by Mark Millar and Duncan Fegredo as the former Chief Scientific Officer of France's superhuman development program and inventor of the titular "MPH" super-speed pill, who disappeared in 1984 and has been living in-hiding ever since (bar attending the occasional jazz festival).[7] While Millar revealed in an interview in January 2014 that the character would return in another then-untitled title set in the Millarworld shared fictional universe the following year, which turned out to be Huck, the character would be renamed "Orlov" for this follow-up appearance.[8]
