About Michael Huber
Michael Huber was a German writer, translator and art expert. Born in Bavaria, he moved to Paris as a young man, where he probably worked as a language teacher. In the 1750s, he became a contributor to a French literary journal presenting foreign literature and started translating; his successful translations of the works of the Swiss poet Salomon Gessner into French were instrumental in popularising Gessner's works outside German-speaking areas. Huber also published an anthology of German poetry in French, with an introduction that separated German literary history into four distinct eras and was also translated into German.
