Aldo Palazzeschi

Aldo Palazzeschi (pe numele real Aldo Giurlani) s-a născut la 2 februarie 1885 la Florența. Urmează inițial o școală de actorie (avându-l coleg pe Marino Moretti), fiind chiar actor pentru o perioadă în compania teatrală a Lydei Borelli. Trăiește izolat aproape tot timpul la Florența (cu unele sejururi la Paris) până în 1941, când se mută la Roma unde va și deceda la 17 august 1974. Pe propria cheltuială îi apar primele trei plachete de poezie: I cavalli bianchi (1906), Lanterna (1907) și Poemi (1909). Va adera la mișcarea futuristă, publicând L\'incendario în 1910 sub auspiciile lui T.F. Marinetti. (Aici, e de observat că Drumețul incendiar al lui Gellu Naum apare abia în 1936). Deși mai revine în 1925 la Vallecchi cu o antologie, intitulată Poesie, Palazzeschi va traversa apoi o lungă etapă de proză (având ca punct maxim apariția romanelor Stampe dell\'800, 1932; Le sorelle Materassi, 1934). Spre sfârșitul vieții, cu Cuor mio (1968) se întoarce către actul poetic, retrăindu-l cu...

Publilius Syrus

Scriitor latin, de origine siriană. Autor de mimi (farse), care abundau în maxime morale (sententiae) foarte apreciate atât de contemporanii săi, cât și de posteritate. Engleză Publilius (less correctly Publius) Syrus, a Latin writer of maxims, flourished in the 1st century BC. He was a Syrian who was brought as a slave to Italy, but by his wit and talent he won the favor of his master, who freed and educated him. His mimes, in which he acted himself, had a great success in the provincial towns of Italy and at the games given by Caesar in 46 BC. Publilius was perhaps even more famous as an improviser, and received from Caesar himself the prize in a contest in which he vanquished all his competitors, including the celebrated Decimus Laberius. All that remains of his works is a collection of Sentences (Sententiae), a series of moral maxims in iambic and trochaic verse. This collection must have been made at a very early date, since it was known to Aulus Gellius in the 2nd century AD....

Maxim Gorki

[[en]] * Born: 16 March 1868 * Birthplace: Nizhny Novgorod (now Gorky), Russia * Death: June 1936 * Best Known As: Russian writer known for his socialist realism Name at birth: Aleksey Maksimovich Peshkov Maxim Gorky (also spelled Maksim Gorki) is one of the giants of 20th century Russian literature and theater, known for his realistic depictions of how terrible it is to be poor and oppressed. Gorky himself grew up in rough times and was a lifelong spokesperson for the underclass. His political activism led to several years of exile, in spite of his popularity with Russian readers. By 1900 Gorky was a famous literary figure, thanks in part to help from Anton Chekhov. His short stories and his first novel, Foma Gordeyev (1902) gave him notoriety as well as critical success, but his outspoken opposition to the rule of Nicholas II led to his exile to the island of Capri (1907-13). After the 1917 revolution Gorky's criticism of his friend V. I. Lenin and the Bolsheviks led to another...
