Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, dit Moli�re, (1622-1673) est un dramaturge et acteur de th��tre fran�ais. Consid�r� comme l'�me de la Com�die-Fran�aise, il en est toujours l'auteur le plus jou�. Impitoyable pour le p�dantisme des faux savants, le mensonge des m�decins ignorants, la pr�tention des bourgeois enrichis, Moli�re aime la jeunesse qu'il veut lib�rer des contraintes absurdes. Tr�s loin des rigueurs de la d�votion ou de l'asc�tisme, son r?'le de moraliste s'arr�te l� o� il l'a d�fini: "Je ne sais s'il n'est pas mieux de travailler � rectifier et � adoucir les passions des hommes que de vouloir les retrancher enti�rement", et son but a d'abord �t� de "faire rire les honn�tes gens". Moli�re dispose d'un grand talent comique. Moli�re partage, en 1661, le th��tre du Palais-Royal avec la troupe de Domenico Biancolelli, dit Arlequin. Il pr�sente Dom Garcie de Navarre qui est un �chec et L'�cole des Maris qui triomphe. La m�me ann�e, Moli�re emm�nage en face du Palais-Royal. Le 17 ao�t il cr�e Les F�cheux, sa premi�re com�die-ballet.

About the Author:

Franz Kafka was born to Jewish parents in Bohemia in 1883. Kafka s father was a luxury goods retailer who worked long hours and as a result never became close with his son. Kafka s relationship with his father greatly influenced his later writing and directly informed his Brief an den Vater (Letter to His Father). Kafka had a thorough education and was fluent in both German and Czech. As a young man, he was hired to work at an insurance company where he was quickly promoted despite his desire to devote his time to writing rather than insurance. Over the course of his life, Kafka wrote a great number of stories, letters, and essays, but burned the majority of his work before his death and requested that his friend Max Brod burn the rest. Brod, however, did not fulfill this request and published many of the works in the years following Kafka s death of tuberculosis in 1924. Thus, most of Kafka s works were published posthumously, and he did not live to see them recognized as some of the most important examples of literature of the twentieth century. Kafka s works are considered among the most significant pieces of existentialist writing, and he is remembered for his poignant depictions of internal conflicts with alienation and oppression. Some of Kafka s most famous works include The Metamorphosis, The Trial and The Castle.
