| | France Portal | | Literature Portal | Gatien de Courtilz de Sandras (1644–1712) was a French novelist and memorialist who wrote semi-fictional "memoirs" (in the first person) of historical figures from the recent past (such as the marquis de Montbrun and M. de Rochefort). His memoir-novels -- such as "Mémoires de M.L.C.D.R." (1687), "Mémoires de M. d'Artagnan" (1700), "Mémoires de M. de B." (1711) -- describe the social and political world of Richelieu and Mazarin without galant clichés (spies, kidnappings, poitical machinations predominate) and they were important precursers to both French picaresque novels and literary realism in the 18th century. // Events February to August - Explorer Abel Tasmans second expedition for the Dutch East India Company maps the north coast of Australia. ...
