Born in 1808, Karr made a significant mark on French literature and journalism with his satirical wit and incisive commentary. His most famous work, "Les Guepes" (The Wasps), a collection of satirical essays, brought him widespread acclaim. Despite his success in the literary world, Karr's true passion lay in gardening.
