Henri-Alban Fournier

(Born October 3, 1886 in La Chapelle-d'Angillon in the Cher and killed in action on September 22, 1914 in Saint-Remy-la-Calonne)

Henri-Alban Fournier, born in La Chapelle-d'Angillon, spent part of his childhood in Epineuil-le-Fleuriel where his parents were teachers. At the age of twelve, he entered the Lycée Voltaire in Paris, then the Lycée Lakanal in Sceaux. After his military service, he gave up the idea of entering the Ecole Normale, and returned, thanks to Charle Morice, to Paris-Journal and wrote a literary column for several years. He also gives poems, essays and short stories to several magazines. But Alain-Fournier devotes most of his time to writing a novel, the Great Meaulnes. First published in serial form, in La NRF, it was edited in volume, by Emile-Paul Frères, in September 1913. It was an immediate success and just missed out on the Goncourt prize. In 1914, Alain-Fournier begins a new novel, Northern Dove and a play. But the war stops him. He is mobilized on August 2nd and joins the 288th infantry regiment which takes part in the Battle of the Marne. Sent on reconnaissance near Saint-Remy, he crossed the Calonne trench with his company and fell into an ambush. He was killed instantly. He was 28 years old.

Painter, sculptor, draftsman, he also became a poet by frequenting literary circles, meeting Paul Verlaine who signed the frontispiece-poem of Cursed Wine  :  "To Paterne Berrichon / Both of us have this weakness / To love good verses / And to love our rest; / So everything to the point of randomness / Punishes on our sad skins / These lizard principles. »

Admirer of Rimbaud, he will become his brother-in-law, after his marriage with Isabelle, the poet's younger sister. From then on, he will be one of the most important promoters and defenders of the work of the cursed poet.

Based in Algiers, he published the works of poets who were opposed to the Vichy regime, in an act of "Resistance in the full light of day". Louis Aragon, André Frénaud, Jules Supervielle, Henri Michaux and René Char were among the contributors to the magazine, which published 63 issues and is considered one of the major publications of the "Intellectual Resistance".

Jean Genet

Writer, poet and playwright (Paris: 19 December 1910- 15 April 1986).

Abandoned at birth by his mother, Jean Genet was placed in a family in the Morvan. A thief from an early age, he experiences his first homosexual emotions, the founding elements of the Genet myth. From his adolescence he begins a marginal and rebellious existence, passing through the penal colony of Métray, the Foreign Legion and prison on several occasions. It was in Fresnes that he began his first work, in 1942, The death row inmate. Several autobiographical novels will follow:
Our Lady of Flowers (1944), Miracle of the rose (1946), Brest Quarrel (1947), Funeral Home (1947). These first novels judged pornographic are censored and without the support of Jean Cocteau and Jean-Paul Sartre, Genet would probably have remained in the shadows and in prison for life. From 1947, Genet devotes himself to the theatre: The maids (1947), High surveillance (1949), Negroes (1959), Screens (1961). Co-founder with Michel Foucault of the observatory of prisons, takes sides with the Algerian independentists, commits himself to the Black Panthers and the Palestinians writing The captive in love (1986) and The declared enemy (posth. 1991)
In 1983 he was awarded the Grand Prix national des lettres, and is today one of the most frequently performed playwrights in the French repertoire.

Le Corbusier

Charles-Édouard Jeanneret

(Born on 6 October 1887 in La Chaux-de-Fonds, in the canton of Neuchâtel, Switzerland, and died on 27 August 1965 in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin)

Guillaume Le Gentil de La Galaisière

Guillaume-Hyacinthe-Joseph-Jean-Baptiste

(Coutances, 12 September 1725 - Paris, 22 October 1792)

Leaving in 1760 to observe the transit of Venus on June 6, 1761, Guillaume Le Gentil de la Galaisiere arrived in front of Pondicherry, a French trading post in the Indies then occupied by the English.
Unable to disembark, he remains at sea without being able to observe the transit of 6 June. He then decided to stay on site after the town was returned to France in 1763 to observe the next transit, scheduled for June 1769. He built an observatory, installed excellent instruments, learned the language of the country and Indian astronomy and the local flora.
But on June 3, 1769, the day of the transit of Venus, bad weather prevented him from observing the phenomenon.

On his way back to France, his boat was forced to turn back due to a storm at the Cape of Good Hope and dropped him off at Reunion Island. He had to wait for a Spanish boat to agree to take him back to Europe.
Finally, when he returned to Paris in 1771, he found that he was legally declared dead and that his property was in the process of being distributed to his heirs. His seat at the Academy of Sciences was occupied and his wife remarried.

He will eventually regain his rights after two trials and the intervention of the king.

Ancient moralists

Collection of old moralists

La Collection of ancient moralists (in French; "Collection de vieux moralistes") is one of the French kings of the time - d. H. Louis XVI (1754-1793), the last king of the Ancien Régime - a series of old french books moralists ("dedicated to the king"), published in Paris from 1782 to 1795 ( Didot l'aîné, et De Bure l'aîné"), initially from 1782 to 1785. In the years 1794-1795 - the king had meanwhile been executed - four further volumes were published. In all, eighteen volumes of the series were published.

The series includes Epictetus , Confucius miscellaneous Chinese authors , Isocrates , Seneca , Cicero , Theophrast , Ménandre , Socrates (after Xenophon ), Theognis , Phokylides , Pythagoras Greek sage, Jesus - Christ and apostles , Apophthegma de the Lacedemonians (from Plutarch), Plutarch Life and Apophthegm of Greek philosophers .

The collaborating translators were Jacques-André Naigeon (1738-1810), Pierre-Charles Levesque (1736-1812) and Athanase Auger (1734-1792).

The translations do not always come directly from the original ancient languages. For example, Pierre-Charles Levesque translates from Latin and Russian in the volume on the various Chinese authors ( Moral thoughts from various Chinese authors ) .
