Alain Brunn is a noted French author, and a specialist in the French moral literature of the XVII century.

A graduate of the Ecole Normale Supérieure, he passed a Master of Arts and Sciences at Harvard and presented his doctoral thesis on François de La Rochefoucauld in December 2005 at the Sorbonne university. He subsequently engaged on a literary career while teaching French.

He has published several critical works, notably L'Auteur (The Author) (2001), Proportion et disproportion (2003) and La Satire (2004). He is actually considered as one of the world’s leading specialists in François de La Rochefoucauld, Montaigne and the jansenist movement.^{[citation needed]}

Brunn is a former member of the French Socialist Party, which he left in October 2006, when his friend Jack Lang withdrew from the primaries before the 2007 presidential elections^{[citation needed]}.
