Pierre Lachambeaudie
Pierre Lachambeaudie (born December 16, 1806 near Sarlat , † July 7, 1872 in Brunoy near Paris ) was a French fabulous poet .
Life
Lachambeaudie was the son of a poor farmer and became an accountant in a trading house in Lyon. After his first collection of poems, Essais poétiques (1829), went largely unnoticed, he got a job on a railroad. At the same time he edited the Échos de la Loire . His Fables populaires , published in 1839, were published in their seventh edition in 1849 and not only secured him an existence, but also gave him a name. Lachambeaudie had placed himself next to Jean de La Fontaine and Jean-Pierre Claris de Florian in the first row of French fabulous poets.
Active in the February Revolution in 1848 , he escaped deportation after the coup d'état on December 2, 1851 only through the powerful intercession of Minister Victor Falian, comte de Persigny , his former colleague at the Échos de la Loire . He lived in Brussels for several years and then returned to France.
