Autor

Jean-Henri Casimir Fabre (21 December 1823 - 11 October 1915) was a French scientist, entomologist, and novelist recognized for the vibrant language of his popular insect-life books. Fabre was born in Saint-Léons, Aveyron, France on December 22, 1823. Due to his family's poverty, Fabre was primarily self-taught. Nonetheless, at the age of 19, he obtained a primary teaching credential and began teaching in Carpentras while continuing his studies. He was recruited to a teaching position at Ajaccio (Corsica) in 1849, then to the lycée in Avignon in 1853. In 1816, the couple and Mary's stepsister notably spent a summer near Geneva, Switzerland, with Lord Byron and John William Polidori, when Shelley created the idea for her masterpiece Frankenstein. The Shelleys emigrated to Italy in 1818, where their second and third children perished before Shelley gave birth to her final and only surviving child, Percy Florence Shelley. Her spouse drowned in 1822 when his sailing boat capsized during a storm near Viareggio. Shelley returned to England a year later and devoted herself to raising her kid and pursuing a career as a professional author.
