Cezar Bolliac sau Cesar Bolliac (n. 23 martie 1813, București - d. 25 februarie 1881) a fost unul dintre fruntașii revoluției din 1848, poet liric protestatar, promotor al studiilor arheologice și gazetar român. Cezar Bolliac s-a născut la 23 martie 1813 la București în căsătoria dintre doctorul Anton Bogliako (Bogliaco), de origine (greco-)italiană, și Zinca Kalamogdartis, recăsătorită ulterior cu stolnicul Petrache Peretz, care a avut grijă de creșterea și educarea viitorului poet. După ce a învățat carte în casă cu învățatul dascăl grec Neofit Duca, a fost elev la Colegiul Sfântul Sava, având ca profesor pe I.H. Rădulescu; de altfel, acesta îl va ajuta să publice în ziarele sale, cum făcuse și cu Gr. Alexandrescu. În anul 1830 se înrolează cu gradul de iuncher în miliția pământeană, având colegi pe Constantin Telegescu și pe Marin Serghiescu Naționalu, viitori fruntași ai revoluției de la 1848. Nu va rămâne mult în armată, pentru că își descoperă veleitățile literare. Mai târziu,...

Am terminat liceul M. Eminescu, Iasi, timp in care am participat la intalnirile cenaclului "Utopos", si la cateva concursuri literare (obtinand o mentiune si un loc 1 la "Tinere Condee"). Am urmat un an cursurile Facultatii de Litere din cadrul Universitatii Al. I. Cuza Iasi, dupa care am intrat la (si in 2007 am absolvit) Facultatea de Filosofie in cadrul Universitatii Bucuresti. Printre autorii mei preferati se numara Julio Cortazar, M.V.Llosa, G.G.Marquez, E. Sabato, Carpentier, Bastos, Asturias, R. M. Rilke, H. Boll, G. Grass, S. Heym, W. Faulkner, D. J. Salinger, Kafka, S. Rushdie, G. Orwell, A. Huxley, J. Fowles, J. Joyce, G. Green, W. Golding, I. Kadare si J.P Sartre. Filosofia, (care-mi va fi si profesie) desi ma atrage, este, ca pasiune, in urma muzicii si a literaturii.

Isaac Asimov

Biographical (non-literary) How do you pronounce \"Isaac Asimov\"? \"EYE\'zik AA\'zi-mov\". The name is spelled with an \"s\" and not a \"z\" because Asimov\'s father didn\'t understand the English alphabet clearly when the family moved to the U.S. in 1923. (In Russian, the spelling was the Cyrillic equivalent of Azimov, and in Yiddish, the Hebrew letters were aleph-zayin-yod-mem-aleph-vav-vav.) One way to remember this pronunciation is the pun from The Flying Sorcerers by Larry Niven and David Gerrold: \"As a color, shade of purple-grey\", or \"As a mauve\". Asimov wrote a poem (\"The Prime of Life\") in which he rhymes his surname with \"stars above\"; someone else suggested amending the poem to rhyme it with \"mazel tov\", which he thought an improvement. Asimov\'s own suggestion, however, as to how to remember his name was to say \"Has Him Off\" and leave out the H\'s. When did Asimov die? What was the cause of his death? Where is he buried? Asimov died on April 6, 1992 of heart...

Taneda Santôka

Taneda Santōka, birth name: Taneda Shōichi; 3 December 1882 - 11 October 1940) was the pen-name of a Japanese author and haiku poet. He is known for his free verse haiku. Santoka, an ordained Zen priest, after spending most of his life wandering all over the country as a begging monk, chose to settle in Matsuyama only to die 10 months later. The humble cottage where he dwelt -- Isso-an (A Blade of Grass Hermitage) is preserved north of Ehime University. His books and documents are also preserved in Shiki Memorial Museum. "In February of 1929 I received ordination as a monk and became resident priest at Mitori Kannon-do in the countryside of Kumamoto Prefecture. It was truly a solitary forest life (sanrin dokuju); as for quietness it was quiet, as for loneliness it was lonely -- such a life it was." (Taneda Santoka - from "Sômokutô") The Zen he was ultimately to practice, however, though traditional, was unusual. It was the Zen of solitary walking. The open road was to become...

Abdul 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...

Robert Duncan

Robert Duncan (January 7, 1919 – February 3, 1988) was an American poet and a student of H.D. and the Western esoteric tradition who spent most of his career in and around San Francisco. Though associated with any number of literary traditions and schools, Duncan is often identified with the New American Poetry and Black Mountain poets. Duncan's mature work emerged in the 1950s from within the literary context of Beat culture and today he is also identified as a key figure in the San Francisco Renaissance. During the 1960s, Duncan achieved considerable artistic and critical success with three books; The Opening of the Field (1960), Roots and Branches (1964), and Bending the Bow (1968). These are generally considered to be his most significant works. His poetry is modernist in its preference for the impersonal, mythic, and hieratic, but Romantic in its privileging of the organic, the irrational and primordial, the not-yet-articulate blindly making its way into language like salmon...

Ezra Pound

Ezra Weston Loomis Pound (n. 30 octombrie 1885 - d. 1 noiembrie 1972) a fost un poet american *** Ezra Weston Loomis Pound (October 30, 1885 – November 1, 1972) was an American expatriate poet, critic and intellectual who was a major figure of the Modernist movement in the first half of the 20th century. He is generally considered the poet most responsible for defining and promoting a modernist aesthetic in poetry. In the early teens of the twentieth century, he opened a seminal exchange of work and ideas between British and American writers, and was famous for the generosity with which he advanced the work of such major contemporaries as Robert Frost, William Carlos Williams, Marianne Moore, H. D., Ernest Hemingway, and especially T. S. Eliot. Pound also had a profound influence on Irish writers W. B. Yeats and James Joyce. His own significant contributions to poetry begin with his promotion of Imagism, a movement in poetry which derived its technique from classical Chinese and...
