Léon Gozlan (11 September 1803 – 14 September 1866) was a 19th-century French novelist and playwright. When he was still a boy, his father, who had made a large fortune as a ship-broker, met with a series of misfortunes, and Léon, before completing his education, had to go to sea in order to earn a living.
In 1828 we find him in Paris, determined to run the risks of literary life.
His townsman, Joseph Méry, who was then making himself famous by his political satires, introduced him to several newspapers, and Gozlan's brilliant articles in Le Figaro did much harm to the already tottering government of Charles X.
