In the works section, why would you make it a point to say "non auto-biographical" novels. Isn't that just a novel? I think it should be changed, but wanted to bring it up here before I edit. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 129.170.202.3 (talk • contribs) 1 October 2006.
- For most authors, yes, but for Pierre Loti, that makes them an exception to what he mostly wrote. - Jmabel | Talk 03:34, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Not a rounded picture
There is very little about this to indicate what a strange man he was, but I don't have anything citable offhand. He maintained a family in the Basque Country and another I'm not sure where but somewhere in the Muslim world as well as his official marriage in France; he appears to have had a very complex set of religious beliefs and practices blending at least Catholicism and Islam. None of this to be found in the 1911 EB, though. I added one paragraph some time ago about his home, now a museum, that hints about this. Does someone know more about him? I don't, really. - Jmabel | Talk 06:07, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Not Constantinapole, it is Istanbul
I changed the word Constantinopole to Istanbul, because the city's name was changed to Istanbul after the siege of Ottoman Empire in 1453. The year that Piere Loti visited Istanbul was 1913. 560 years is enough to tell what I mean. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.103.74.104 (talk) 23:26, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
