Pierre Marnet, born August 12, 1964 in Bert, (an active mining town with about 800 inhabitants before the war) is a voiseyian politician and writer. He is the Minister of Culture under Daniel Marangé.
Early Life, Education, and Family
Pierre was born into a very modest family. His father was a miner and his mother a seamstress. He lived with his 2 brothers and 2 sisters. But around the age of 4, war broke out. His father voluntarily enlisted in the Voiseyian Army and was sent to fight in Carélie. His mother had to support 5 children on her own, and was soon under enemy occupation. Father Marnet is taken prisoner and interned in a forced-labor camp in Carélie (Masbourg Camp). Unlike many of the region's inhabitants, the Marnet family did not leave Bert, not knowing where to go. Rationing of food and raw materials made life very difficult.
After the liberation of the Carélian labor camps, the father (who survived) set off on a 550 km march to reach the family home, which he completed in 1 week.
In 1980, with the war now geographically far from Voisey, Pierre could devote himself to his studies. During the war, he developed a taste for writing. So he left the small mining town of Bert for Clermont-Ferrand. A few years later, he graduated from the École de Lettres de Clermont-Ferrand. In 1985, the war ended and the world returned to peace.
Pierre, only 20, decided to travel around the world. His first stop was Hongroisie, where, thanks to a camera (a rare and expensive item in those days), he immortalized the towns and villages ravaged by war. He then travelled to Yudraga, where he fell in love with the landscape (a vast desert) and culture of the country. While there, he met a voiseyian journalist by the name of Léon Daniel. The latter noticed Pierre's talent for photography and writing, and encouraged him to write novels. Pierre Marnet's first works were published in "la potence", a very popular Voisey's newspaper. His first big success came in 1988, when his novel "Le Soleil Rouge" (The Red Sun) was published, telling the harrowing yet romantic story of a desert tribe massacred during the Great War. From then on, one success followed another. In 1990, he returned to Clermont-Ferrand, after visiting Alagoas, Eprea and Ushington. The same year, he married Mauricette Lalhain, a journalist for a local newspaper.
Political Career
His "political career" began in 1995, when he began defending the government of the day against leftists who cried dictatorship (Voisey was going through a difficult period at the time, marked by heavy taxation, growing poverty, unemployment and a severe economic recession). His texts finely criticize the "demagoguery" of Voisey's socialist left. At the same time, he published important articles on country cultures of the countries he had traveled to. He took part in numerous literary conferences in Voisey and abroad. He acquired an international reputation, and an image as a protector of Primeria's cultures.
From the 2000s onwards in Voisey, he gained the popularity of the population by taking a stand in favor of protecting the Voiseyian way of life, going perfectly against the grain of Primeria's fashion for so-called "IT" innovation.
In 2005, he became an academician. Pierre Marnet also became a teacher at the École de Littérature et Langues Anciennes et Contemporaines de Reims in 2008. He makes regular appearances on television, especially on ethnic topics.
In 2020, he became Minister of Culture under President Daniel Marangé.
