Jean-Jacques Sempé

Français:
À 17 ans, Sempé roule à bicyclette pour un courtier en vins. En 1960, il démarre avec René Goscinny l'aventure du petit Nicolas, dressant une inoubliable galerie de portraits d' "affreux jojos qui tapissent depuis notre imaginaire" (dixit Goscinny). Son humour fin, subtil et allusif allié à un formidable sens du dérisoire caractérisent toute son ouvre. Sa plume traduit sa vision tendrement ironique de nos travers et des travers du monde. Aujourd'hui, Sempé est l'auteur d'une trentaine d'albums. En 1988, il a illustré Catherine Certitude, de Patrick Modiano. Il dessine régulièrement pour L'Express, Télérama, le New Yorker et expose ses dessins et ses aquarelles à Munich, New York, Londres ou Salzburg, où il rencontre toujours un trè

Sangeeta Bhadra

When Sangeeta Bhadra was two years old, her mom found her with her teddy bear, Jeremy, under one arm, pen in hand, scribbling furiously over the pages of The Three Bears. She claimed to be writing.
Sangeeta “wrote” many books during that period, but it wasn’t until she was in grade three (after a few author visits at her school) that she knew she wanted to be an author herself when she grew up. She told her parents so, they agreed it was a good idea, and that was that! Sangeeta has been writing ever since. She started with picture books, poetry in grade five, short stories when she got a little older … and back to picture books as she studied biology at the University of Toronto.

Albert Camus

Works, such as the novels The Stranger (1942) and The Plague (1947), of Algerian-born French writer and philosopher Albert Camus concern the absurdity of the human condition; he won the Nobel Prize of 1957 for literature.

Origin and his experiences of this representative of non-metropolitan literature in the 1930s dominated influences in his thought and work.

He also adapted plays of Pedro Calderón de la Barca, Lope de Vega, Dino Buzzati, and Requiem for a Nun of William Faulkner. One may trace his enjoyment of the theater back to his membership in l'Equipe, an Algerian group, whose "collective creation" Révolte dans les Asturies (1934) was banned for political reasons.
