Luc de Clapiers Vauvenargues

1715 6 august Luc de Clapiers, marchiz de Vauvenargues,s-a nascut la Aix-en-Provence (Franta). Nu se cunosc amanuntele despre anii copilariei celui care avea sa ajunga unul dintre marii moralisti. 1720 In Aix izbucneste o cumplita epidemie de ciuma. Primar al orasului era tatal lui Vauvenargues, Josep de Clapiers. Molima a bantuit aproape un an si a facut peste sapte mii de victime; datorita darzeniei, curajului si abnegatiei primarului, a fost insa curmata, iar jafurile care au terorizat alte tinuturi nu s-au putut dezlantui la Aix. Pentru aceste merite, tatal lui Luc avea sa primeasca, in 1722, o pensie de 3000 de livre si titlul de marchiz. 1731 Firav, cu o sanatate subreda, blajin si excesiv de sfios, tanarul Luc trebuie sa fi studiat, o vreme, la colegiul Royal-Bourbon, tinut de iezuiti; dar se pare ca prin 1731 a fost nevoit intrerupa studiile, ramanand sa le completeze acasa, singur, sau cu ajutorul vreunui profesor particular. Judecand dupa scrisul lui, avea ceva cunostinte de...

Abdul al-Hazred

Abdul Alhazred is a fictional character created by American horror writer H. P. Lovecraft. He is the so-called "Mad Arab" credited with authoring the imaginary book Kitab al-Azif (the Necronomicon), and as such an integral part of Cthulhu Mythos lore. Despite the existence of several hoax Necronomicons, it is clear that neither Alhazred nor his book ever existed. The name Abdul Alhazred is a pseudonym that Lovecraft created in his youth, which he took on after reading 1001 Arabian Nights at the age of about five years. The name was invented either by Lovecraft, or by Albert Baker, the Phillips family lawyer. Abdul is a common Arabic name component (but never a name by itself; additionally the ending -ul and the beginning Al- are redundant), but Alhazred may allude to Hazard, a name from Lovecraft's family tree. It might also have been a pun on "all-has-read", since Lovecraft was an avid reader in youth. Abdul Alhazred is not a real Arabic name, and seems to contain the Arabic definite...

Maram al - Masri

Maram al-Masri est née en 1962 à Lattaquié en Syrie, sur cette rive de la Méditerranée située à vingt milles marins à peine de l\'île de Cypris. Vivant à Paris depuis 1982, cette jeune Syrienne, après un premier livre publié en 1984 à Damas sous le titre \"Je te menace d\'une colombe blanche\", revient à la poésie avec \"Cerise rouge sur un carrelage blanc\", édité à Tunis par les éditions de L\'Or du Temps, en 1997, et salué par la critique des pays arabes. Le tout récent prix du Forum culturel libanais en France, auquel a participé le poète libanais Adonis et destiné à récompenser toute création littéraire arabe, lui a été attribué en mars 1998. D\'autre part, ce livre a été traduit en espagnol et en partie en anglais, en allemand, en Italien et en turc. Cette poésie est le cri étouffé et nu de la femme qui attend tout de l\'homme aimé. Cette revendication féminine bien éloignée de toute préoccupation hédoniste, n\'est pas non plus une nouvelle voix qui soulèverait la chape de plomb...
