About the Author

Jean Richepin (1849-1926) est un poete, romancier et auteur dramatique francais. Fils d'un medecin militaire originaire de l Aisne, tres tot Richepin acquiert la reputation de - fort en theme - ce qui lui a permit de faire de brillantes etudes secondaires et d'integrer l'Ecole normale superieure en 1868, avant d'obtenir une licence es-lettres en 1870. Maniant les mots et les images aussi bien que certains manient les armes, il se fait vite remarquer en s imposant grace a ses joutes verbales. D un caractere enclin a l emportement d aucun dirait a la violence, a l exaltation et a un certain romantisme, Richepin demeure le maitre incontestable de son metier poetique fort de sa culture de normalien lettre. Considere de nos jours que comme un - tres grand rhetoricien -, certains de ces ecrits dressent un portrait au vitriol de la societe de son epoque dont leurs exactitudes constituent une richesse incommensurable.
