  • Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr was a French critic, journalist, and novelist. His brother Eugène was a talented engineer and his aunt Carme Karr was a writer, journalist and suffragist in La Roche-Mabile. He was born in Paris, and after being educated at the Collège Bourbon, became a teacher there. Some of his novels, including his first, Sous les Tilleuls (1832), were autobiographical romances. A second novel, Une heure trop tard, followed next year, and was succeeded by many other popular works. His Vendredi soir (1835) and Le Chemin le plus court (1836) continued the vein of autobiographical romance with which he had made his first success. Geneviève (1838) is one of his best stories, and his Voyage autour de mon jardin (1845) was deservedly popular. Others were Feu Bressier (1848), and Fort en thème (1853), which had some influence in stimulating educational reform. In 1839 Alphonse Karr became editor of Le Figaro, to which he had been a constant contributor; and he also started a monthly journal, Les Guêpes, of a keenly satirical tone, a publication which brought him the reputation of a somewhat bitter wit. His epigrams are frequently quoted, for example "plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose"—"the more it changes, the more it's the same thing", usually translated as "the more things change, the more they stay the same" (Les Guêpes, January 1849). On the proposal to abolish capital punishment, "je veux bien que messieurs les assassins commencent"—"let the gentlemen who do the murders take the first step". In 1848 he founded Le Journal. In 1855 he went to live at Nice, where he indulged his predilections for floriculture, and gave his name to more than one new variety, notably the dahlia. Indeed he practically founded the trade in cut flowers on the French Riviera. He was also devoted to fishing, and in Les Soirées de Sainte-Adresse (1853) and Au bord de la mer (1860) he made use of his experiences. His reminiscences, Livre de bord, were published in 1879–1880. He died at Saint-Raphaël. His short story Les Willis was the basis of Giacomo Puccini's opera Le Villi.
  • Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr war ein französischer Journalist, Schriftsteller und Satiriker. Karrs erster Roman „Sous les Tilleuls“ („Unter den Linden“) erschien 1832. Karr war einer der ersten, der die Küste der Normandie populär machte. Besonders angetan hatte es ihm Étretat, wo auch sein Roman „Le chemin le plus court“ („Der kürzeste Weg“, 1837) spielt. Alphonse Karr gründete das satirische Magazin „Les Guêpes“ („Die Wespen“), das zwischen 1839 und 1876 erschien. Als erbitterter Gegner von Napoléon III. ging Karr nach dem Staatsstreich von 1851 nach Nizza ins Exil. Seine letzten Jahre verbrachte Alphonse Karr in Saint-Raphaël an der Côte d'Azur, wo er sich intensiv dem Gartenbau und der Kultivierung von Blumen widmete. Ihm wird deshalb die Begründung der Blumenriviera zugeschrieben. Im Alter von fast 82 Jahren starb er dort am 29. September 1890. Ihm zu Ehren wurden postum zwei Pflanzen nach ihm benannt: der Zimmerbambus „Bambus multiplex Alphonse Karr“ und eine Birne.
  • Alfons Karr, nat a París el 24 de novembre de 1808 i mort a Saint-Raphaël el 29 de setembre de 1890, fou un novel·lista i periodista francès, oncle de l'escriptora feminista Carme Karr. Debutà com a escriptor amb la seva novel·la més coneguda, Sous les tilleuls, que li permeté entrar a treballar per Le Figaro. El 1836, col·laborà amb La Chronique de Paris, fundada per Honoré de Balzac, però només per sis mesos, pel que fou un joiós intermedi. La seva novel·la Histoire de Romain d'Étretat li permeté conèixer Étretat, on anava tot sovint. De 1839 a 1849, publicà una revista satírica: Les Guêpes (Les vespes). Tot seguit fundà Le Journal per donar suport al general Louis Eugène Cavaignac. Opositor a Napoléon III, es retirà a la Costa Blava després del cop d'estat de 1851. El 1854 a Niça, mentre continuava escrivint, va llogar una propietat agrícola en el barri de Saint Etienne, on esdevení horticultor. I amb molt d'èxit, al número 8 de la plaça del Jardin Albert 1er, obrí una botiga de venda de rams de flors, de fruites i llegums, destinat a una clientela d'hivernants. Una pera, la Pera Alphonse Karr, i un bambú, el Bambusa multiplex Alphonse Karr, han estat anomenats en record seu. I ell va anomenar una rosa Eugène Karr, en record del seu germà.
