Biography
Biography
A member of the Société Asiatique of Paris, Fouinet, who was employed at the Ministry of Finance, employed his bureaucratic leisure to translate into French, Arabic, Sanskrit, Malay, etc. poetry and prose, as well as English masterpieces, and collaborated with the Cent-et-un, la France littéraire, the Annales romantiques, the Keepsakes. He then relaxed from his scholarly studies of Oriental languages, by composing romantic short stories and books for youth. Victor Hugo, who owes him translations from Arabic and Persian quoted in several notes of his Orientales, paid hommage to his poetic talent, as well as Sainte-Beuve, by dedicating him one of his best Consolations.
