Alain-René Lesage

    6. Mai 1668 – 17. November 1747

    Alain-René Le Sage war ein produktiver französischer Satiriker und Dramatiker, dessen Werk die europäische Literatur maßgeblich beeinflusste, insbesondere durch seinen klassischen pikaresken Roman. Inspiriert vom spanischen Theater und der Literatur, verfasste Le Sage satirische Stücke und Prosa, die die Pariser Gesellschaft seiner Zeit scharf kommentierten. Sein gefeiertstes Werk, das als einer der frühesten realistischen Romane gilt, verfolgt die Abenteuer eines anpassungsfähigen jungen Protagonisten, der sich durch verschiedene Herrschaften navigiert, dabei seinen optimistischen Geist bewahrt und schließlich einen friedlichen Ruhestand findet. Le Sage gilt für seine komödiantischen Beiträge als Nachfolger Molières.
