ouis de Rouvroy (1675 - 1755), Duke of Saint-Simon, was a French soldier, diplomat and a noted diarist.

Most of his manuscripts were retrieved by the Crown and it was long before their contents were fully partly in the form of notes in the marquis de Dangeau's Journal, partly in both original and independent memoirs, partly in scattered and multifarious extracts, he had committed to paper an immense amount of material. He had a profound influence on writers like Tolstoy, Barbey d' Aurevilly, Flaubert, Valle-Inclan, Proust, Mujica Lainez, and many others.
