thumb| Jean Charles Emmanuel Nodier (29 April 1780 – 27 January 1844) was a French author and librarian who introduced a younger generation of Romanticists to the conte fantastique, gothic literature, and vampire tales.

Quotes Après le plaisir de posséder des livres, il n'y en a guère de plus doux que celui d'en parler, et de communiquer au public ces innocentes richesses de la pensée qu'on acquiert dans la culture des lettres. Translated by ChatGPT (11 August 2026): "After the pleasure of owning books, there are few things more delightful than talking about them and sharing with the public those innocent treasures of the mind acquired through the cultivation of literature."
