AHAldous Leonard Huxley
[[en]] Aldous Leonard Huxley was born on July 26, 1894, into a family that included some of the most distinguished members of that part of the English ruling class made up of the intellectual elite. Aldous' father was the son of Thomas Henry Huxley, a great biologist who helped develop the theory of evolution. His mother was the sister of Mrs. Humphrey Ward, the novelist; the niece of Matthew Arnold, the poet; and the granddaughter of Thomas Arnold, a famous educator and the real-life headmaster of Rugby School who became a character in the novel Tom Brown's Schooldays.Brave New World book cover Undoubtedly, Huxley's heritage and upbringing had an effect on his work. Gerald Heard, a longtime friend, said that Huxley's ancestry "brought down on him a weight of intellectual authority and a momentum of moral obligations." Throughout Brave New World you can see evidence of an ambivalent attitude toward such authority assumed by a ruling class. Like the England of his day, Huxley's Utopia...

VLVilliers de l'Isle-Adam
Jean-Marie-Mathias-Philippe-Auguste, comte de Villiers de l'Isle-Adam (7 November 1838 – 19 August 1889) was a French symbolist writer. Villiers de l'Isle-Adam was born in Saint-Brieuc, Brittany, to a distinguished aristocratic family. His parents, Marquis Joseph-Toussaint and Marie-Francoise (née Le Nepvou de Carfort) were not rich, however, and were financially supported by Marie's aunt, Mademoiselle de Kerinou. His father became obsessed with the idea he could restore the family fortune by finding the lost treasure of the Knights of Malta (Philippe Villiers de L'Isle-Adam, 16th century Grand Master of the Knights Hospitaller, was his ancestor), which had reputedly been buried near Quintin during the French Revolution. Consequently, he spent large sums of money buying land, excavating it and then selling it at a loss when he failed to find anything of value. The young Villiers' education was troubled (he attended over half a dozen different schools) but from an early age his family...

MAMiroslav Antici
Miroslav "Mika" Antiæ (March 14, 1932 – June 24, 1986) was a Serbian poet, journalist and painter. Antiæ was born in Mokrin, Vojvodina, Serbia (then Yugoslavia). He wrote poems, articles, dramas, movie and TV scripts and documentaries. Mika also acted in several movies, and was an amateur painter. His best known poem is "Srem", in which he mourns for dead in World War II and describes the beauty of Srem using "beæarac" song form. He is well known as a bohemian. Mika Antiæ is best known as a children and youth poet, a master of delicate and gentle sentiments. His bohemian, hard-drinking lifestyle is best illustrated by a barely translatable pun about him: "Èika Jova deci, èika Mika Antiæ dva deci" "Èika Jova deci" meaning "Mister Jova to the children", referring to Jovan Jovanoviæ Zmaj, a known children's poet. "Èika Mika Antiæ dva deci" means "Mister Mika Antiæ two deciliters", referring to drinking from a glass, likely of alcohol.

Louise Labee
Fille et femme de riches cordiers, son surnom de «belle cordière» est fort explicable. Louise Labé, femme de lettres surtout poétesse, ravissante joueuse de luth qui s\'initia au latin, à l\'italien et à la musique, était aussi une amazone pour qui l\'escrime ou l\'équitation n\'avaient aucun secret. Par surcroit, l\'une des premières féministes de l\'histoire, Louise Labé ne laisse personne indifférent. La belle cordière tenait «bureau d\'esprit» dans sa maison à Lyon. Le domicile de Louise Labé était le rendez-vous de la société la plus distinguée et la plus lettrée. Les artistes, des avocats, des érudits, de riches Italiens figuraient aussi dans ce cénacle.

Adam Drucker
The power of word and a child\'s imagination walk their way through Doseone\'s works creating music described by Urb as \"so indelible you may have to physically turn it off and take a breather.\" From his sought after release \'Hemispheres\' to his poetic soundscape \'Slow Death\', his releases have overflowed with such style that it prompted one reviewer to dub him \"an artist who may turn out to be one of our generation\'s most important.\" One of hiphop\'s most prolific artists, he is the driving force behind Themselves, Deep Puddle Dynamics, cLOUDDEAD, and Greenthink and has provided guest vocals for a slew of other notable releases. From an east coast birth, to a midwest education, and now a westcoast lease, its full circle and all heart. \"Some kids just gotta be different, and some kids just gotta be Doseone.\" - Vice

PSpedro salinas
Poeta nacido en Madrid. Profesor universitario en Sevilla, Murcia, Cambridge y Boston. Los tres elementos básicos de su creación son -autenticidad, belleza e ingenio-. Autor perfeccionista, pero de gran sensibilidad. Es el principal poeta del amor de su generación. Podemos distinguir tres etapas en su producción, la primera que abarca hasta 1932. Poesía pura bajo el influjo de Juan Ramón Jiménez: Presagios (1923), Seguro azar (1929) y Fábula y signo (1931). Una segunda etapa de 1933-1939. Poeta del amor. Amor antirromántico (no es un amor atormentado ni sufrido). El amor supone un enriquecimiento de la vida y la persona, confiere sentido al mundo. La voz a ti debida (1933), Razón de amor (1936) (algo más pesimista, aparecen los límites del amor) y Largo lamento (1939) de tono elegíaco, le canta al amor que agoniza y muere. Y una tercera etapa tras la guerra civil, libros de poemas en lo que se observa una lucha entre su fe en la vida y los signos angustiosos que ve a su alrededor. El...
