Minutes later, Druon, an imposing 84-year-old with an old-fashioned monocle hanging from the collar of an immaculate pinstripe suit, made his way through the crowd and emerged on a podium in front of a dozen television cameras and microphones.
Druon said meeting Putin was one of the high points of his long life and said the president made an "excellent" impression.
Druon, who was part of the French Resistance during World War II and then joined France Libre in London, also worked as a war journalist in the final years of the war.

 EURSOC: Speaking In Tongues
The campaign is led by academic and writer Maurice Druon, who says that the French version of any law passed by Brussels should be the definitive "legally binding" version.
Druon claims that French "reduces the chance of different interpretations." He has gathered support for the petition from the Académie Française and even from France's foreign ministry, which hopes for a "spirited campaign" in Brussels.
Furthermore, drawing attention to the need for a "fixed" single language for EU documents does French no favours, as nine of the ten new members and many of the original fifteen have chosen English as their preferred working language.

 Britain should quit EU, French sage says - Unexplained Mysteries Discussion Forums
Maurice Druon, an author, ex-culture minister and grandee of the Académie Française, said that Britain's aversion to full integration made it unsuited to the full membership for which he campaigned more than 30 years ago.
Mr Druon, 87, holder of an honorary knighthood for services to Anglo-French relations, said: "What Britain and Europe want of the EU is quite different.
Mr Druon listed the aspects of Britishness he judged incompatible with EU membership: an "umbilical" link with America; demands for special budgetary treatment; support for Turkish accession in defiance of Europe's natural boundaries; and stubborn resistance to the Euro.

 Guardian | Lame Académie
Despite his 85 years, the feisty Mr Druon this month launched an unprecedented personal offensive against the pompous former president's bid for immortality in the literary supplement of Le Figaro.
The core of Mr Druon's broadside, however, was aimed at Mr Giscard's lack of literary ability.
Others argue, with perhaps more weight, that Mr Druon, an arch-Gaullist if ever there was one, has never forgiven Mr Giscard his lack of loyalty to the late General.

Maurice Druon, secretary of the hallowed Academie Francaise which guards the language as a national treasure, bemoaned the recent fashion for "feminizing" titles.
Druon denounced the American practice as "perverting" and "contaminating" French grammar, condemning as laughable the feminine term "sapeuses-pompieres" (firewomen).
Prime Minister Lionel Jospin ruled in March that women cabinet members should be known by the feminine "Madame la Ministre" instead of "Madame le Ministre" as the rules of French grammar require.

 El Rey de Hierro, de Maurice Druon | Panorama Católico Internacional   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Sin embargo el autor, aunque se solaza un poco en exceso en remarcar ciertos vicios propios de la época, hace distinciones precisas (a veces con notas aclaratorias al pie, que revelan su hábito de historiador) en las que da un toque equilibrado y una precisión histórica exacta.
Por ejemplo, cuando se presenta el caso de los templarios, destruidos por afán de poder y dinero del rey Felipe, Druon anota que más allá de las intenciones nada santas del monarca, la orden se había corrompido moralmente, paganizado y enriquecido desmesuradamente.
La lectura es fascinante porque Druon narra con maestría, en un estilo muy depojado de adornos, sin dejar de ser detallista, preciso y verdaderamente novelesco.

 TIME.com: Remembrance of Loves Past -- Apr. 2, 1956 -- Page 1
French Novelist Maurice Druon, a Prix Goncourt winner, applies Latin brio and an urbane Gallic prose style to his tale, and he can navigate the rapids of a zany stream of consciousness without drowning the reader.
Amid the eerie indirections of the countess' mind, Novelist Druon subtly contrasts the past glories of Rome with the Via Veneto glitter of the present day.
The countess celebrates the life of blazing passion and pleasure on a neo-Renaissance scale, but Author Druon is too steady-eyed to blink what Cyril Connolly has called "the remorse which is the shadow of that sun." Oddly enough, it is the countess' way of dying rather than living that is memorable.
