Baptiste Touverey

Baptiste Touverey is a journalist, novelist and translator.  He was the first to translate the work of the famed 20^th century Austrian novelist, playwright, and journalist Stefan Zweig into French, publishing Le voyage dans le passé and Un soupçon légitime to much criticial acclaim.

His first novel Constantinople (2018), revealed him to be the rising star of historical thrillers; his interweaving of gripping political plots with swooning love stories, his portrayal of the destinies of Nicetas, Heraclius, and the emperor Phocas commonly known as ‘The Usurper’, won over the French press, booksellers, and readers alike. The novel received extensive praise from Le Figaro and Figaro Magazine, RFI, France Inter, Nouvel Obs, and many others.

Baptiste’s new book, Le milieu du monde, is forthcoming.
