Tristan Bernard (September 7, 1866 – December 7, 1947) was a French playwright, novelist, journalist and lawyer.
Born Paul Bernard into a Jew family in Besançon, Doubs, Franche-Comté, France, the son of an architect. He left Besançon at the age of 14, moving with his father to Paris, where he studied at the Lycée Condorcet, which was noted for its numerous literary alumni.
He studied law, but after his military service, he started his career as the manager of an aluminium smelter. He also managed a velodrome. After his first publication in La Revue Blanche in 1891, he turned his talents increasingly to writing and adopted his pseudonym of Tristan. His first play, Les Pieds Nickelés (Nickel-plated Feet), was a great success and set the tone for his later work: humorous and generally light. He found the greatest fame writing for vaudeville, which was a very popular genre in France at the time. He also wrote several novels and tried his hand at poetry.
