Paul Tallemant the Younger
Paul Tallement , called Paul Tallemant the Younger , (born June 18, 1642 in Paris , † July 30, 1712 ibid) was a French cleric and writer.
Tallement came from a Huguenot family; the brothers François and Gédéon Tallemant were his cousins.
As a writer, Tallement became known for his work "Voyage de l'isle d'amour", which, inspired by Jonathan Swift's " Gulliver's Travels ", he was able to publish with great success in 1663/64. In addition, Tallement favored the small literary forms, such as divertissement , panegyric or eulogies .
In 1666 the Académie française named Tallement to succeed the late writer Jean Ogier de Gombauld ( armchair 5 ). He was followed in 1712 by the writer Antoine Danchet in this place.
The Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres accepted Tallement as a member in 1673. This event was commented on by their Secrétaire perpétuel , Claude Gros de Boze , according to a bon mot with "... plus recommandable par ses vertus que par ses talents."
Paul Tallemant the Younger died six weeks after his 70th birthday on July 30, 1712 in Paris, where he found his final resting place.
