  Alfred de Musset

  Alfred Louis Charles de Musset-Pathay (11 December 1810 – 2 May 1857) was a French dramatist, poet, and novelist. Along with his poetry, he is known for writing La Confession d'un enfant du siècle (The Confession of a Child of the Century, autobiographical) from 1836.

  Early indications of Musset's boyhood talents were seen by his fondness for acting impromptu min

  Pierre Choderlos de Laclos

  Pierre Ambroise François Choderlos de Laclos (1741-1803) was a French novelist, official and army general, best known for writing the epistolary novel Les Liaisons dangereuses.

It is one of the masterpieces of novelistic literature of the 18th century,
