Biography
Cherbuliez was born in Geneva, where his father, André Cherbuliez (1795–1874), was a classical professor at the University of Geneva. He was descended from a family of Huguenot refugees, and many years later Victor Cherbuliez resumed his French nationality, taking advantage of a right of return law passed in the early days of the French Revolution. Geneva was the scene of his early education; thence he proceeded to Paris, and afterwards to the universities of Bonn and Berlin.Template:Sfn
Cherbuliez returned to his native town and engaged in the profession of teaching. After his resumption of French citizenship he was elected a member of the Académie Française (1881), and having received the Legion of Honour in 1870, he was promoted to be officer of the order in 1892.Template:Sfn
Work
Cherbuliez was a voluminous and successful writer of fiction. His first book, originally published in 1860, reappeared in 1864 under the title of Un Cheval de Phidias: it is a romantic study of art in the golden age of Athens. He went on to produce a series of novels.Template:Sfn
Most of these novels first appeared in the Revue des deux mondes, such as Le Comte Kostia<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref> (1863). Cherbuliez also contributed a number of political and learned articles to the Revue des deux mondes, usually printed with the pseudonym G Valbert. Many of these have been published in collected form under the titles L'Allemagne politique (1870), L'Espagne politique (1874), Profils étrangers (1889), L'Art et la nature (1892), etc. The volume Etudes de littérature et d'art (1873) includes articles for the most part reprinted from Le Temps.Template:Sfn
