AlainRené Lesage

    6 mei 1668 – 17 november 1747

    Alain-René Le Sage was een productief Frans satirisch toneelschrijver wiens werk de Europese literatuur aanzienlijk beïnvloedde, met name door zijn klassieke picareske roman. Geïnspireerd door Spaans theater en literatuur, creëerde Le Sage satirische toneelstukken en proza die de Parijse samenleving van zijn tijd scherp becommentarieerden. Zijn meest gevierde werk, beschouwd als een van de vroegste realistische romans, volgt de avonturen van een aanpasbare jonge protagonist die verschillende meesters doorloopt, daarbij zijn zonnigere geest behoudend en uiteindelijk een vredig pensioen vindt. Le Sage wordt erkend als een opvolger van Molière voor zijn bijdragen aan de komedie.
