Émile Zola.

Literary master Émile Zola (1840–1902), who spearheaded the development of theatrical naturalism, failed his baccalauréat examination not once, but twice! That goes to show you: Even if you may not be a good student, you can still be successful in literature…or in life. Many famous authors of the nineteenth century lived on almost nothing, as their works were not recognized when they were alive. Zola actually made quite a bite of money as a writer during his lifetime.
