Jean de La Fontaine was born in 1621 in Chรขteau-Thierry, in the Champagne region of France. He studied law and theology before turning to literature. He was a member of a literary circle that included Moliรจre, Racine, and Boileau, and he enjoyed the patronage of influential figures such as Nicolas Fouquet and Madame de La Sabliรจre. His first collection of Fables was published in 1668, followed by two more volumes in 1678 and 1694. He was elected to the Acadรฉmie franรงaise in 1684. He died in 1695 in Paris, leaving behind a body of work that has been translated into countless languages and continues to be read and loved around the world.

Key Works:

Fables โ€“ His masterpiece, published in three volumes

Contes et nouvelles โ€“ Risquรฉ tales in verse

Les Amours de Psychรฉ et de Cupidon โ€“ A prose romance

La Fontaine's journey from a provincial town to the heart of French literary life is a testament to the power of wit and observation. He was a man of gentle humour and deep insight, who used the simple framework of animal fables to explore the complexities of human nature. He was a keen observer of society, and his fables gently satirised the foibles of his contemporaries. He was also a master of verse, and his poems are celebrated for their elegance, rhythm, and charm. His legacy is one of literary brilliance and enduring popularity.
