• Georg Christoph Lichtenberg (auteur)

  Georg Christoph Lichtenberg (1742-1799), philosophe, écrivain et physicien allemand, est l’un des satiristes les plus spirituels du siècle des Lumières. Neuvième enfant d’un pasteur luthérien, il a été laissé bossu par une chute accidentelle. Après des études de mathématiques et de sciences naturelles, il devient professeur à Göttingen. Ce sont ses « Brouillons » qui, après sa mort, le feront apparaître comme l’un des penseurs les plus singuliers et profonds de son temps, admiré et célébré par Goethe, Kant, Nietzsche, Tolstoï et tant d’autres. Les extraits de cette œuvre monumentale, publiés au XXe siècle sous le titre d’« Aphorismes », ont connu un succès jamais démenti depuis.

• Jane Austen (auteur)

  English novelist known primarily for her six major novels, which interpret, critique and comment upon the British landed gentry at the end of the 18th century. Austen's plots often explore the dependence of women on marriage in the pursuit of favourable social standing and economic security. Her works critique the novels of sensibility of the second half of the 18th century and are part of the transition to 19th-century literary realism.

• William Shakespeare (auteur)

  William Shakespeare is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He began his successful career in London as an actor, writer, and part-owner of a playing company called the Lord Chamberlain's Men. His early plays were comedies and histories, considered some of the best in these genres. In 1623, a more definitive collection of his works known as the First Folio was published. Shakespeare was born to a successful glover and educated at the King's New School in Stratford. He married Anne Hathaway and had three children. Shakespeare's plays were performed by the Lord Chamberlain's Men, making him a wealthy man. He continued to act in his own plays and collaborated with other playwrights. Shakespeare's last three plays were collaborations, and he retired to Stratford before his death. His work has had a lasting impact on theatre and literature, and he is considered a genius and a classic of the German Weimar era. There have been doubts about the authorship of his works, but they are considered fringe theories.
