0.01 secundeMeilisearchDon Miguel de Cervantes y Saavedra
It is not known for certain the exact date of his birth, but since according to Spanish tradition the Christening was carried through very closely after the birth, there is no doubt that his birthday was in 1547. The actual date of the Christening was October 9th, 1547 at the city of Alcala de Henares. Since then, little is known of his childhood, other than he lived with his family in Valladolid, Madrid, and other Andalusian cities. Finally, they settled in Madrid, and afterwards, he became the attendant to the Cardinal Acquaviva in Italy in 1569 . Later on, Cervantes enlisted in to armed forces for the naval Battle of Lepanto (it took place on the 7th of December of 1571) where he was injured. This meant the handicap of his left hand, but he still continued as a soldier, on his voyage returning to Spain 1575 in the galley Sun, he fell prisoner of the Turks when it was over powered. The next five years, Cervantes is a prisoner of war in Algiers, from where he tried to escape four...

JBJean de La Bruyère
He was born in Paris, not, as was once thought, at Dourdan (in today's Essonne département) in 1645. His family was middle class, and his reference to a certain Geoffroy de La Bruyère, a crusader, is only a satirical illustration of a method of self-ennoblement common in France as in some other countries. Indeed he himself always signed the name Delabruyère in one word, as evidence of this. He could trace his family back at least as far as his great-grandfather, who had been a strong Leaguer. La Bruyère's own father was controller general of finance to the Hôtel de Ville. The son was educated by the Oratorians and at the University of Orléans; he was called to the bar, and in 1673 bought a post in the revenue department at Caen, which gave him status and an income. His predecessor in the post was a relation of Jacques Benigne Bossuet, and it is thought that the transaction was the cause of La Bruyère's introduction to the great orator Bossuet, who from the date of his own...

BVBernard de Ventadour
Bernard de Ventadour ( en ancien occitan Bernartz de Ventedorn ), né vers 1145 à Ventadour, mort après 1195, est l'un des plus célèbres troubadours. Sa Vie, très romancée car tirée des vidas écrites un demi-siècle plus tard par Uc de Saint-Circ, est mal connue. Il est dit fils d'un homme d'armes et d'une boulangère du château de Ventadour en Corrèze. Il n'est pas certain qu'il fût d'origine modeste et certains l'assimilent à un membre de la lignée des Ventadour qui mourut abbé de Saint-Martin de Tulle. Il devint le disciple de son seigneur, le vicomte Ebles III Lo Cantador qui l'instruisit dans l'art de la composition lyrique dite trobar. Il aurait composé ses premiers chants pour la femme du fils de ce seigneur, ce qui lui valut d'être chassé de Ventadour. Il suivit alors jusqu'en Angleterre la cour d'Aliénor d'Aquitaine devenue l'épouse du roi Henri II Plantagenet, puis passa au service de Raymond V de Toulouse pour, selon sa vida, finir sa vie à l'abbaye de Dalon. Ses chansons -...

CSClaude Simon
Claude Simon (10 October 1913, — 6 July 2005) was a French novelist and the 1985 Nobel Laureate in Literature. He was born in Antananarivo, Madagascar, and died in Paris, France. Simon is often identified with the nouveau roman movement exemplified in the works of Alain Robbe-Grillet and Michel Butor, and while his fragmented narratives certainly contain some of the formal disruption characteristic of that movement (in particular Triptyque from 1973), he nevertheless retains a strong sense of narrative and character. In fact, Simon arguably has much more in common with his Modernist predecessors than with his contemporaries; in particular, the works of Marcel Proust and William Faulkner are a clear influence. Simon's use of self-consciously long sentences (often stretching across many pages and with parentheses sometimes interrupting a clause which is only completed pages later) can be seen to reference Proust's own style, and Simon morever makes use of certain Proustian settings (in...

MAManuel Acuña
Manuel Acuña Narro (27 August 1849 – 6 December 1873) was a 19th-century Mexican writer. He focused on poetry, but also wrote some novels and plays. Even though he was famous at an early time of his life, he decided to commit suicide. It is not certain why he killed himself, but it is thought that he did so because of a woman. Acuña was born in the city of Saltillo, Coahuila, on August 27, 1849 to Francisco Acuña and Refugio Narro. He was taught how to write and read at an early age. Later he studied in the “Colegio Josefino”, in Saltillo. Around 1865 he was transferred to Mexico City to the School of San Ildefonso, where he entered as a full time student. Here he studied mathematics, Latin, French and philosophy. Acuña lived at a time at which Mexican society was dominated by philosophical-positivist intellectuality. Furthermore he was living as a romantic tendency in poetry was occurring. In January 1868, Acuña initiated his studies in medicine at the...

PCPierre de Saint Cloud
This skillful and cultured poet brought the adventures of Renart the Fox, known previously only in Latin, to a wider, French-speaking public. The two earliest branches of the Roman de Renart, II and Va (ca. 1174–77), which relate the love affair of Renart and Hersent the she-wolf, are attributed to him. Though he imitated Ysengrimus for three episodes (“Renart and Chantecler,” “Renart and the Titmouse,” “Renart and Hersent”) and Marie de France for another (“The Fox and the Crow”), “Renart and Tibert the Cat” is his own invention. He pokes fun at the legal system, pontifical legates and certain religious institutions, princes and nobles, through a subtle parody, intended largely to evoke laughter, of the chansons de geste and Arthurian romance. He was read and imitated by French and foreign authors of beast epics, such as Jacquemart Gielée, Heinrich der Glîchezâre, and Chaucer), by fabulists and writers of exempla (Eudes de Cheriton, Nicole Bozon, Jacques de Vitry), and by Philippe de...

Jaime Sabines
Je te veux à aux dix heures du matin Je te veux à aux dix heures du matin, et aux onze, et aux douze du jour. Je te veux avec toute mon âme et avec tout mon corps, parfois, dans les après-midi de pluie. Mais à aux deux heures de l\'après-midi, ou aux trois, quand je me mettes à penser nous deux, et tu penses le repas ou au travail quotidien, ou dans les divertissements que tu n\'as pas, je me mets a te haiser sourdement, avec la moitié de la haine que je garde pour moi. Je retourne ensuite à t’aimer, quand nous nous coucherons et consigne que tu es faite pour moi, d\'une certaine manière me le dissent ton genou et ton ventre, que mes mains me convainquent de cela, et qui il n\'y a pas un autre lieu où je viens, où je vais, mieux que ton corps. Tu viens toute complète à ma rencontre, et les deux nous disparaissons un moment, nous nous mettons dans la bouche de Dieu, jusqu\'à ce que je te dise que j\'ai faim ou sommeil. Tous les jours je te veux et je te haïs irrémédiablement. Et il y a...

RGRené Ghil
René François Ghilbert, dit René Ghil, né le 27 septembre 1862 à Tourcoing et mort le 15 septembre 1925 à Niort, est un poète "instrumentiste" et "scientifique" français. Salué par Mallarmé en 1885 dès son "volume d'essai", il rompit avec lui en 1888 sur la question de l'Idéalisme, auquel il opposait un matérialisme métaphysique inspiré de Darwin et du bouddhisme : il apparaît dès lors comme l' "adversaire du symbolisme" et de la "poésie égotiste". De 1887 à 1892, il dirigea les Écrits pour l'Art, première revue et premier groupe d'avant-garde de l'histoire ; puis il poursuivit son œuvre en solitaire, proche autour de 1900 de certains milieux anarcho-syndicalistes, encourageant les débuts d'un auteur comme Charles Louis Philippe. En décembre 1913, quelques jours avant Apollinaire, il enregistra aux "Archives de la Parole" son "Chant dans l'Espace" qui contient ce vers résumant toute sa conception du monde et de la poésie : Ma pensée est le monde en émoi de soi-même. L'œuvre poétique...
