Jean de La Fontaine

Jean de La Fontaine, baptized on July 8, 1621 in the Saint-Crépin-hors-les-murs church in Château-Thierry and died on April 13, 1695 in Paris, is a man of letters of the Great Century and one of the main representatives of French classicism. In addition to his Fables and Contes libertines, which established his fame in the 1660s, we owe him various poems, plays and opera librettos which confirm his ambition as a moralist.
