Question: Was there a real person named Enoch who wrote a book at one point in history?
There was a person called Enoch, who was on Earth before the Flood.
He didn't write a book, though one was written in approx. 300 AD which has been attributed to him, falsely!
He had a very close relationship with God, so much so that God “took him” before he died, and that event is similar to that of Christians in 1Cor. 15:51-52!
Enoch stood out in his dedicated relationship with God, not only in his heart felt worship, but as the corrected AV translation shows, “walked to and fro” with God, Gen. 5:24; which showed a special relationship which continued for 300 years in dire times!
Enoch was thus spared the anguish of what was to happen to all people (including his daughters with fallen angels), prior to the destruction of the flood; of whom only Noah and his family (Gen. 6:9 & 7:1) were not polluted by fallen angel seed (Nephal = to fall)!
