Birthdays

On this day, January 15, in 1622, Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, better known as Molière, was born in Paris, France. A playwright who was wildly popular with both the court and the people in his own time, he is considered one of the masters of Western comedy even today. His hilarious and satirical works – such as Tartuffe and The Misanthrope – remain staples of modern theater. Also a well known actor who often appeared in his own plays, he suffered from pulmonary tuberculosis; legend has it that he died a few hours after suffering a coughing fit and hemorrhaging on stage in the last play he ever wrote, ironically titled, The Imaginary Invalid. He was 51.

Birthdays

On this day, December 3, in 1857, Joseph Conrad was born in Berdichev, Imperial Russia (modern
Ukraine, then a part of Poland). While he settled in England and wrote in English, he always considered himself a Pole. Heart of Darkness, one of the most famous of his 20 novels (which explores colonialism and the attitudes regarding what constitutes a barbarian versus civilized society) is considered one of the best English novels of the 20th century, as is his novel Lord Jim, which chronicles a crew’s abandonment of its disabled ship. Conrad died in England in 1924 at age 66.
