Honoré de Balzac est un écrivain français du XIXème siècle. Auteur de la Comédie Humaine, Balzac est considéré comme l’un des plus grands romanciers de son siècle. Il a abordé plusieurs genres littéraires, du roman philosophique au roman fantastique.
Fille d'un pasteur anglican née en 1820, Anne Brontë passe sa jeunesse au presbytère de Haworth avec son frère et ses sœurs aînées Emily et Charlotte. Tous quatre font très tôt preuve d'une imagination hors du commun. Les trois sœurs publient ensemble un recueil de poèmes, avant d'écrire chacune des romans. Anne, marquée par son expérience de gouvernante (1835-1845), souligne dans Agnès Grey (1847) la responsabilité des parents dans le manque de valeurs morales des enfants de familles riches. Jeune femme réservée, elle masquait ses sentiments sous un « voile de nonne rarement soulevé », selon sa sœur Charlotte. Elle meurt en 1849 de la tuberculose, comme son frère et Emily, après avoir publié l'année précédente un second roman, La Dame du manoir de Wildfell Hall.
Miguel de Cervantes was born on September 29, 1547, in Alcala de Henares, Spain. At twenty-three he enlisted in the Spanish militia and in 1571 fought against the Turks in the Battle of Lepanto, where a gunshot wound permanently crippled his left hand. He spent four more years at sea and then another five as a slave after being captured by Barbary pirates. Ransomed by his family, he returned to Madrid but his disability hampered him; it was in debtor's prison that he began to write Don Quixote. Cervantes wrote many other works, including poems and plays, but he remains best known as the author of Don Quixote. He died on April 23, 1616.
