pAlmost all galaxies host in their center a supermassive black hole of mass between a million and tens of billions solar masses. Supermassive black holes grow in symbiosis with their host galaxies across the Hubble time, occasionally accreting surround matter, giving rise to an Active Galactic Nuclei AGN. This book gives a general review of our current knowledge of AGN, powered by supermassive black holes how they are fueled by gas or stars and what problems are encountered how can we account for the wide variety of AGN, from SeyfertLiners to quasars, and for the two types AGN 1 and 2 either through dust obscuration, and geometrical orientation arguments, or through intrinsic activity difference, qualitative or quantitative. With modern instruments, providing high resolution and sensitivity, like ALMA in radio, or MUSE at the ESOVLT, it is possible to unveil the interstellar medium and stars in the circumnuclear regions, discover molecular disks and tori, in the sphere of influence of
