History: Alain-René Lesage is best known for his picaresque novel 'Histoire de Gil Blas de Santillane,' which is considered one of his major works. Lesage is a link between the classicism of the Grand Siècle and the modernism of the 18th century, using a satirical style to criticize the greed of the powerful. Despite his talent and the success of his works, he never achieved wealth.
