René Barjavel
The French writer, scriptwriter and journalist Rene Barjavel (1911-1985) is one of the most prominent representatives of sci-fi literature in the twentieth century. His works express a concern for humanity threatened by disruptive technological developments which are not always subject to reason and consistent with moral values.
"The Ice People" (1968) is his most famous novel, a classic example of science fiction, honored with the Award of booksellers, continually reprinted and translated into many languages.
Jean-Jacques Sempé
Jean-Jacques Sempé, usually known as Sempé (born August 17, 1932 in Bordeaux), is a French cartoonist. Some of his cartoons are quite striking, but retain a sentimental and often a somewhat gentle edge to them, even if the topic is a difficult one to approach. He once drew a series called Le petit Nicolas, starting it in the 1950s, but he is best known for his posterlike illustrations, usually drawn from a distant or high viewpoint depicting detailed countrysides or cities.
