Max & Alex FischerMax Fischer (1880-1957) - Alex Fischer (1881-1935)  Writers, novelists Max and Alex Fischer, two brothers, are 20th century French writers of Swiss origin who wrote humorous stories together.
Max (Maxime Chevalier Elieser Abraham) Fischer was born in Paris on May 10, 1880 and died on December 11, 1957 in Saint-Maur-des-Fossés (Val-de-Marne).
Alex (Alex James Abraham Eliezer) Fischer was born at the same address on May 20, 1881 and died in Paris 16th on April 3, 1935
They were literary directors at Éditions Flammarion from 1904 and created the Select-Collection in 1914.
Max was also sub-prefect in Paris during the Purge.

Max FischerOf Swiss origin, he is the son of Mr. Jacques Fischer, scholarship holder, and Mrs. Fischer, née Emma Rodriguez; he studied at the Sainte-Barbe college, at the Condorcet high school, then at the Paris law school.
Having become a man of letters, storyteller and novelist, playwright – in the humorous register – and journalist, he writes with his brother Alex many gay books, and collaborates with the Gaulois, the Petit Journal and the Écho de Paris. It was from 1904 that the books of the Fischer brothers, who enjoyed success sans brilliance, are published by Flammarion.
Both are also collection directors, then literary directors at Flammarion. They set up there, among other things, the Select-Collection which was a great success, especially during the Great War. Books are cheap (0.50 F). Their role is to be in contact with writers, to recruit them for Flammarion, in addition to scrutinizing the funds of other houses to buy back the rights to certain books.
This period of directorship extends from 1913 to 1928, May 27, 1928 to be precise, date on which a disagreement opposes them - others evoke rather a estrangement with Ernest Flammarion and his sons, because the Fischer brothers “collected particularly high royalties” – which prompted Alex to retire, while Max, with the support of Ernest Flammarion, assumed sole management of the house until 1940. Alex Fischer will sue for breach of contract, but will lose it.
With rare exceptions, Max Fischer will not write any more after 1928; later, after the Second World War, he became a literary advisor, still at Flammarion.
On January 25, 1952, five years before his death, he married Nelly Caron-Mialaret, writer, musician and musicologist, who notably published two books with Flammarion.
He died aged 77 in Saint-Maur-des-Fossés, leaving a son, Claude Fischer, born in 1930. Evocation of the FISCHER Brothers by Paul LEAUTAUDLiterary diary of Paul Léautaud on Mars 11, 1920:
“The brothers Max and Alex Fischer took it into their heads to have an article on them in the Mercure. They are readers at Flammarion. Bachelin is published by Flammarion. They told Bachelin about the case. He, last Tuesday, the day before yesterday, spoke about it to Vallette, in a way which showed that he was aware of the presumption of the Fischers and that he spoke of it only so that one could not say that he did nothing in this direction. Impossible, of course, the Fischer having nothing literary. Yesterday morning, Vallette, who had taken charge of the follow-up to the case, sent a letter to the Fischers to explain to them that the thing was not possible. He meets them in the evening [at the Théâtre de] la Renaissance. The Fischers say hello and add: \"We received your kind letter, with a sour smile.\"
