WBWilliam Blake
William Blake (1757-1827) was a British poet, painter, visionary mystic, and engraver, who illustrated and printed his own books. Blake proclaimed the supremacy of the imagination over the rationalism and materialism of the 18th- century. Misunderstanding shadowed his career as a writer and artist and it was left to later generations to recognize his importance. Blake was born in London, where he spent most of his life. His father was a successful London hosier who encouraged Blake\'s artistic talents. Blake was first educated at home, chiefly by his mother. In 1767 he was sent to Henry Pars\' drawing school. Blake has recorded that from his early years, he experienced visions of angels and ghostly monks and that he saw and conversed with the angel Gabriel, the Virgin Mary, and various historical figures. At the age of 14 Blake was apprenticed for seven years to the engraver James Basire. Gothic art and architecture influenced him deeply. In 1783 he married Catherine Boucher, the...

SBSaul Bellow
A fost primul romancier care a câștigat National Book Award de trei ori. În 1976, a câștigat Premiul Nobel pentru literatură, premiul National Medal of Arts, în 1990 National Book Foundation Medal. Saul Bellow (10 iunie 1915 – 5 aprilie 2005) a fost unul dintre cei mai cunoscuți prozatori evrei americani. S-a născut în Lachine, Québec (Canada) într-o familie de evrei, emigrați din Sankt Petersburg (Rusia). Când avea 9 ani familia s-a mutat în Chicago, Illinois (USA), unde Bellow urmează cursurile Universității din Chicago, dar renunță și își ia un B.A. în sociologie și antropologie la Universitatea Northwestern. Chicago este și locul unde se desfășoară acțiunea multora din scrierile sale. S-a decis să devină scriitor după ce a citit romanul clasic al lui Harriet Becher Stowe "Coliba unchiului Tom". Bellow se mută în 1993 din Chicago la Brookline, Massachusetts, unde moare la 5 aprilie 2005, la vârsta de 89 ani. A fost ingropat în cimitirul evreiesc "Shir he-harim" din Brattleboro,...

AFAnatole France
Anatole France, pseudonym for Jacques Anatole Thibault (1844-1924), was the son of a Paris book dealer. He received a thorough classical education at the Collège Stanislas, a boys\' school in Paris, and for a while he studied at the École des Chartes. For about twenty years he held diverse positions, but he always had enough time for his own writings, especially during his period as assistant librarian at the Senate from 1876 to 1890. His literary output is vast, and though he is chiefly known as a novelist and storyteller, there is hardly a literary genre that he did not touch upon at one time or another. France is a writer in the mainstream of French classicism. His style, modelled on Voltaire and Fénélon, as well as his urbane scepticism and enlightened hedonism, continue the tradition of the French eighteenth century. This outlook on life, which appears in all his works, is explicitly expressed in collection of aphorisms, Le Jardin d\'Épicure (1895) [The Garden of...

AAAbdul 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...

NNostradamus
Michel de Nostredame[1] (14 or 21 December 1503[2] – 2 July 1566), usually Latinised to Nostradamus, was a French apothecary and reputed seer who published collections of prophecies that have since become famous worldwide. He is best known for his book Les Propheties (The Prophecies), the first edition of which appeared in 1555. Since the publication of this book, which has rarely been out of print since his death, Nostradamus has attracted a following that, along with the popular press, credits him with predicting many major world events. Most academic sources maintain that the associations made between world events and Nostradamus's quatrains are largely the result of misinterpretations or mistranslations (sometimes deliberate) or else are so tenuous as to render them useless as evidence of any genuine predictive power.[3] Moreover, none of the sources listed offers any evidence that anyone has ever interpreted any of Nostradamus's quatrains specifically enough to allow a clear...

Din anul 2000 isi ia inima in dinti si se expune oprobriului incepand sa publice pe site-ul www.poezie.ro . La indemnul unor entitati astrale cu gusturi literarea extravagante, debuteaza in anul 2006 cu volumul „"Glissando" ”. Lansarea oficiala a volumului a fost amanata in ultimul moment pentru ca autorul risca sa fie sufocat de fanii dezlantuiti . *** In anul 2014 publica la Editura Sfantul Ierarh Nicolae, sub pseudonimul Chris Bluemoon, volumul de versuri "Daca vei intreba". Raspunsul Marelui public la acest act de adanca si intensa cultura a fost de neimaginat: datorita tirajului insuficient cititorii prezenti la lansare s-au batut pe carti, sfasiindu-le pur si simplu in bucatele. Din fericire e-book ul poate fi descarcat de la adresa : librarie.bibliotecadigitala.ro ===
