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...

EKElizabeth Kim
Elizabeth Kim was born in Korea. Omma was killed by her brother and father ('honour killing') for the sin of sleeping with an American soldier and producing a mixed-race child, Elizabeth. There is no record of her birth or of her name. Dumped in a horrific orphanage in post-war Seoul, Kim was lucky to be adopted by a fundamentalist American family. But just as her American features doomed her in racist Korea, her Korean features served as a constant reminder that she wasn't good enough for her new all-white environment. Her mother had always told her that life was made up of ten thousand joys as well as ten thousand sorrows.

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...

MMMaram al - Masri
Maram al-Masri est née en 1962 à Lattaquié en Syrie, sur cette rive de la Méditerranée située à vingt milles marins à peine de l\'île de Cypris. Vivant à Paris depuis 1982, cette jeune Syrienne, après un premier livre publié en 1984 à Damas sous le titre \"Je te menace d\'une colombe blanche\", revient à la poésie avec \"Cerise rouge sur un carrelage blanc\", édité à Tunis par les éditions de L\'Or du Temps, en 1997, et salué par la critique des pays arabes. Le tout récent prix du Forum culturel libanais en France, auquel a participé le poète libanais Adonis et destiné à récompenser toute création littéraire arabe, lui a été attribué en mars 1998. D\'autre part, ce livre a été traduit en espagnol et en partie en anglais, en allemand, en Italien et en turc. Cette poésie est le cri étouffé et nu de la femme qui attend tout de l\'homme aimé. Cette revendication féminine bien éloignée de toute préoccupation hédoniste, n\'est pas non plus une nouvelle voix qui soulèverait la chape de plomb...

VHVicente Huidobro
Vicente García-Huidobro Fernández (January 10, 1893 – January 2, 1948) was a Chilean poet born to an aristocratic family. He was an exponent of the artistic movement called Creacionismo ("Creationism"), which held that a poet should bring life to the things he or she writes about, rather than just describe them. Huidobro was born into a wealthy family in Santiago. After spending his first years in Europe, he enrolled in a Jesuit secondary school in Santiago where he was expelled for using a ring, which he claimed, was for marriage. He studied literature at the University of Chile and published Ecos del alma (Soul's Echoes) in 1911, a work with modernist tendencies. The following year he married, and started to edit the journal Musa Joven (Young Muse), where part of his later book, Canciones en la noche (Songs in the Night) appeared, as well as his first calligram, "Triángulo armónico" ("Harmonic Triangle"). In 1913, along with Carlos Díaz Loyola, he edited the three issues of the...

EMEduard Mörike
Eduard Friedrich Mörike (Ludwigsburg, 8 September 1804 – 4 June 1875 in Stuttgart) was a German romantic poet. He studied Theology at the Seminary of Tübingen, and followed the ecclesiastical career, becoming a Lutheran pastor. In 1834 he was appointed pastor of Cleversulzbach near Weinsberg, and, after his early retirement for reasons of health, in 1851 became professor of German literature at the Katharinenstift in Stuttgart. This office he held until his retirement in 1866; but he continued to live at Stuttgart until his death on the 4th of June 1875. Mörike is a member of the so-called Swabian school which gathered round Ludwig Uhland. His poems, Gedichte (1838; 22nd ed., 1905), are mostly lyrics, often humorous, but expressed in simple and natural language. His lieder (songs) are traditional in form and have been compared to those of Goethe. He also wrote a somewhat fantastic Idylle vom Bodensee, oder Fischer Martin und die Glockendiebe (1846; 2nd ed., 1856), and published a...

RERalph Waldo Emerson
Ralph Waldo Emerson (n. 25 mai 1803–d. 27 aprilie 1882) a fost un poet și eseist american, liderul mișcării transcendentaliste de la începutul secolului al XIX-lea. Ralph Waldo Emerson s-a născut în Boston, ca fiul reverendului William Emerson, un pastor unitarian provenind dintr-o familie de lungă tradiție pastorală. Cu timpul avea să se distanțeze de doctrinele apropiaților săi, formulându-și pentru prima dată filozofia transcendentalistă în eseul său „Nature” („Natura”). Tatăl lui Emerson, care și-a numit fiul "a rather dull scholar" („un elev cam greoi”), a murit în 1811, la mai puțin de două săptămâni de la aniversarea de 8 ani a băiatului său. Tânărul Emerson a fost trimis la Școala Latină din Boston în 1812, pe când avea doar nouă ani. În luna octombrie a anului 1817 Emerson a fost admis la Harvard și numit președintele bobocilor, o funcție care îi asigura cazarea gratuită. Emerson a primit o bursă, și, pentru a-și completa salariul infim, a dat meditații și a predat în timpul...
