Paris 2015: Père-Lachaise Columbarium #1: Jean-Paul Aron

The writer, epistemologist and historian Jean–Paul Aron (1925–88), who was the nephew of Raymond Aron. Aron wrote a few works for the theatre and two novels (La Retenue (1962) and Point mort (1964)), but the bulk of his writing was non-fiction, such as Essai sur la sensibilité alimentaire à Paris au XIXe siècle (1967), Le Mangeur du XIXe siècle (1973), Qu’est-ce que la culture française ? (1975), and (with Roger Kempf) Le Pénis et la démoralisation de l'occident (1978).
