   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.04 sec.

Le Sage, Alain-René (1668-1747)

French novelist and dramatist. His novels include Le Diable boîteux/The Devil upon Two Sticks (1707) and his picaresque masterpiece Gil Blas de Santillane (1715-35), which is much indebted to Spanish originals. He also published over 100 plays, the best of which are the Molièresque comedies Crispin, rival de son maître/Crispin, His Master's Rival (1707) and Turcaret (1709).

Born in Sarzeau, Brittany, Le Sage studied for the law, but preferred literature and became a prolific writer.
