Jean de La Fontaine was born on July 8, 1621, in Château-Thierry, France, and died on April 13, 1695, in Paris.
La Fontaine is best known as the greatest French fabulist. His Fables, inspired by Aesop, Phaedrus, and Eastern traditions, have become universal classics. They combine humor with social and moral criticism, often expressed through the personification of animals.
La Fontaine also wrote tales in verse and poetry. Thanks to his simple, lively, and colorful style, his works have survived the centuries and are still studied in schools throughout the French-speaking world.
Jean de La Fontaine was admitted to the Académie Française in 1684, confirming his major role in French literature.
Today, Jean de La Fontaine is considered a master of the French language, and his Fables are part of our universal literary heritage.
