Born on the seventh day of August, 1922, André Ruellan, a celebrated literary luminary, first took his first breath in the picturesque city of Courbevoie, a municipality that, at the time of his birth, was an integral part of the Seine department, but has since been reorganized and now finds itself nestled within the sprawling Île-de-France region of Hauts-de-Seine, France, a country renowned for its rich cultural heritage and storied history.
Noted author Ruellan's illustrious literary trajectory was characterized by an astonishing level of fecundity and innovative expression, as he went on to author a multitude of novels under the pen name 'Kurt Steiner', thereby solidifying his standing as a virtuoso of narrative artistry.
It is with profound sorrow that we acknowledge the untimely passing of Ruellan on November 10, 2016, in the romantic and culturally rich City of Light, Paris, France.
