BEGOUEN, Max

(? -?)

   French prehistorian and author of three prehistoric novels, of which only Les bisons d'argile (1925; trans as Bison of Clay 1926) has been translated into English. His entry for the Prix Jules Verne (AWARDS), Quand le mammouth ressuscita ("When the Mammoth Revives") (1928), although placed only second, was deemed of sufficient merit to warrant publication.
