JBJames G. Ballard
James Graham Ballard (15 November 1930 – 19 April 2009) was an English novelist and short story writer who was a prominent part of the science fiction New Wave movement. His best-known novels are the controversial Crash, an exploration of sexual fetishism connected to automobile accidents, and the loosely autobiographical Empire of the Sun, about his childhood internment by the Japanese during World War II after the invasion and conquest of Shanghai, where Ballard was born in the International Settlement. Both books were adapted into films, by David Cronenberg and Stephen Spielberg respectively. So distinctive was his work that the adjective "Ballardian" entered the language, defined by the Collins English Dictionary as "resembling or suggestive of the conditions described in J. G. Ballard's novels and stories, especially dystopian modernity, bleak man-made landscapes and the psychological effects of technological, social or environmental developments." Ballard was diagnosed with...

DGDavid Gascoyne
David Gascoyne (October 10, 1916 - November 25, 2001) was an English poet associated with the Surrealist movement. Gascoyne was born in Harrow and grew up in England and Scotland and attended Salisbury Cathedral School and Regent Street Polytechnic in London. He spent part of the early 1930s in Paris. His first book, Roman Balcony and Other Poems, was published in 1932, when he was sixteen. A novel, Opening Day, was published the following year. However, it was Man's Life is This Meat (1936), which collected his early surrealist work and translations of French surrealists, and Hölderlin's Madness (1938) that established his reputation. These publications, together with his 1935 A Short Survey of Surrealism and his work on the 1936 London International Surrealist Exhibition, which he helped to organise, made him one of a small group of English surrealists that included Hugh Sykes Davies and Roger Roughton. Ironically, at this exhibition, Gascoyne had to rescue Salvador Dalí from the...

Jiddu Krishnamurti
The core of Krishnamurti\'s teaching is contained in the statement he made in 1929 when he said: \'Truth is a pathless land\'. Man cannot come to it through any organisation, through any creed, through any dogma, priest or ritual, not through any philosophic knowledge or psychological technique. He has to find it through the mirror of relationship, through the understanding of the contents of his own mind . . . Statement by Krishnamurti in 1981. Jiddu Krishnamurti was born on 11th May 1895 in Madanapalle, a town in south India, the eighth child in a middle-class family. At an early age he was adopted by Annie Besant, then the President of the Theosophical Society, with its headquarters in Madras. She took Krishnamurti and his brother Nitya to England where she had them educated privately. On Krishnamurti\'s return to India while still in his teens, Theosophists proclaimed him to be the world teacher whose coming they had been awaiting. They built a large and rich order round him, with...

Jimi Hendrix
La 27 noiembrie 1942 se naste la Seattle James Marshall Hendrix dintr-o familie in care s-a amestecat sange de alb, negru si rosu. La unsprezece ani, putin dupa moartea mamei sale, incepe sa cante la chitara. La 16 ani abandoneaza scoala si devine un muzician ratacitor. Ei, nu trubadur, nu, ci rythm&blues si rock’n’roll. Dupa ce face armata la parasutisti, la 21 de ani devine session man, adicatalea canta si el cu cine avea nevoie de un chitarist de acompaniament. In ‚65 isi face primul grup, dar nu are prea mare succes in America, asa ca un baiat dragut, Chas Chandler de la Animals il duce la Londinium, unde Jimi devine star. Dupa ce da niste albume tari gen „Are you experienced?”(‚67) sau „Electric Ladyland”(‚68) si dupa ce face istorie la Woodstock(‚69) si in insula Wight(‚70), Jimi moare din cauza unei supradoze in anul de gratie 1970. Daca va fascineaza chitara lui ca si pe mine, va invit sa-i cititi si versurile. Merita.
