Comès

(aka Didier Comès, vrai nom Dieter Herman Comes)

Dieter Comes est né en 1942 à Sourbrodt, petit village des cantons de l'est. Son père parlant allemand et sa mère wallon et français, il se définit lui-même comme étant un "bâtard de deux cultures", caractéristique dont on retrouvera la trace dans son imaginaire. En sortant de l'école à 16 ans, il sera dessinateur industriel dans une entreprise textile de Verviers. En même temps, il s'initie à la musique. Il s'intéresse surtout au jazz, s'essayant aux percussions, et ne viendra à la bande dessinée que plus tard.

En 1969, il écrit Hermann, une série de gags humoristiques publiée dans les pages Jeunesse du Soir. En 1973, Pilote publie le premier épisode d'Ergun l'Errant, Le Dieu vivant, dont le

Il sonne alors à la porte des éditeurs et publie en 1991, avec Goupil au scénario, le premier opus de la série humoristique Nelson et Trafalgar chez Vents d’Ouest, qui remporte un succès immédiat. En 1999, il dessine une histoire de Fantasy, Fol, avant de se la

Seichō Matsumoto

Seicho Matsumoto (松本清張, Matsumoto Seichō), December 21, 1909 – August 4, 1992) was a Japanese writer.

Matsumoto's works created a new tradition of Japanese crime fiction. Dispensing with formulaic plot devices such as puzzles, Matsumoto incorporated elements of human psychology and ordinary life into his crime fiction. In particular, his works often reflect a wider social context and postwar nihilism that expanded the scope and further darkened the atmosphere of the genre. His exposé of corruption among police officials as well as criminals was a new addition to the field. The subject of investigation was not just the crime but also the society in which the crime was committed.

The self-educated Matsumoto did not see his first book in print u

Gustave Flaubert

Gustave Flaubert was a French novelist. He has been considered the leading exponent of literary realism in his country and abroad. According to the literary theorist Kornelije Kvas, "in Flaubert, realism strives for formal perfection, so the presentation of reality tends to be neutral, emphasizing the values and importance of style as an objective method of presenting reality". He is known especially for his debut novel Madame Bovary (1857), his Correspondence, and his scrupulous devotion to his style and aesthetics. The celebrated short story writer Guy de Maupassant was a protégé of Flaubert.
