Autorenporträt
Claude-Prosper Jolyot de Crébillon (1707–1777), primarily known as Crébillon fils, was a celebrated French novelist and a figure emblematic of the libertine literature of the 18th century. The son of the famous tragedian Prosper Jolyot de Crébillon (Crébillon père), he carved out a distinct identity of his own in the literary circles of his time. While his father was known for the grandeur of tragedy, Crébillon fils gained notoriety for the erotic and risqué elements prevalent in his works, which satirized the mores of the aristocracy and delved into psychological insights into love and attraction. A notable work by Crébillon fils is 'The Amours of Zeokinizul, King of the Kofirans' (Les amours de Zéokinizul, roi des Kofirans), which demonstrates his narrative dexterity and his aptitude for exploring the sensual dimensions of his characters with a blend of irony and moral critique. Distinguished for his urbane wit and nuanced portrayal of the complexities of human relationships, Crébillon fils aligns with the libertines of his era in challenging societal norms and celebrating sensuality. His literary contributions offer a window into the intricate social fabric of 18th-century France and reflect the enduring tensions between virtue and vice, control and passion.
