Rupert Chawner Brooke

Rupert Chawner Brooke (middle name sometimes given as Chaucer)(3 August 1887–23 April 1915) was an English poet known for his idealistic war sonnets written during the First World War (especially The Soldier); however, he never experienced combat at first hand. He was also known for his boyish good looks, which prompted the Irish poet William Butler Yeats to describe him as \"the handsomest young man in England\". English poet Brooke was born at 5 Hillmorton Road in Rugby, Warwickshire, the second of the three sons of William Parker Brooke, a Rugby schoolmaster, and Ruth Mary Brooke, née Cotterill. He attended Hillbrow Prep School before being educated at Rugby School.

Sun Tzu

Singura sursa care a ramas cu privire la Sun Tzu, este biografia scrisa in secolul II i.Hr de catre istoricul Sina Qian, care il descrie ca un general ce a locuit in statul Wu in secolul VI i.Hr. Oricum, biografia nu este sustinuta de catre alte surse ale vremii respective si atat forma cat si continutul indica faptul ca a fost scrisa intre anii 400 i.Hr si 320 i.Hr. . - Lucrarea sa, "Arta Razboiului" ("Art of War") ofera un numar de indicii directe catre viata sa. De exemplu, carele de lupta descrise de el au fost folosite pentru o scurta perioada la sfarsitul secolului 4 i.Hr. , precum si alte lucruri care indica aceeasi perioada. - Niste studenti au dedus ca, de fapt opera lui Sun Tzu a fost scrisa de niste filosofi chinezi necunoscuti si ca Sun Tzu nu a existat cu adevarat ca si persoana istorica. - In 1972 un ser de texte gravate in bambus au fost descoperite intr-un mormant de langa Linyi in Shandong. Acestea au ajutat la confirmarea textului care era deja cunoscut si de...

Kurt Weill

Biography Early Years Kurt Weill was born on 2 March 1900 in Dessau, Germany. The son of a cantor, Weill displayed musical talent early on. By the time he was twelve, he was composing and mounting concerts and dramatic works in the hall above his family\'s quarters in the Gemeindehaus. During the First World War, the teenage Weill was conscripted as a substitute accompanist at the Dessau Court Theater. After studying theory and composition with Albert Bing, Kapellmeister of the Theater, Weill enrolled at the Berlin Hochschule für Musik, but found the conservative training and the infrequent lessons with Engelbert Humperdinck too stifling. After a season as conductor of the newly formed municipal theater in Lüdenscheid, he returned to Berlin and was accepted into Ferruccio Busoni\'s master class in composition. He supported himself through a wide range of musical occupations, from playing organ in a synagogue to piano in a Bierkeller, by tutoring students (including Claudio Arrau and...

Jakob Vorberger

Jakob Vorberger *20.10.1926, Freidorf/Banat/Rumänien; †29.09.2001, Freilassing/Bayern/Deutschland Jakob Vorberger war gerade mal 19 Jahre alt, als er in ein stalinistisches Arbeitslager deportiert wurde. Da hatte er allerdings schon einen Gymnasiumsabschluss der deutschen Lehranstalt „Banatia“ in der Tasche. Der sollte ihm auch dienlich werden, als er bereits 1946 aus dem Zwangsarbeitslager krankheitsbedingt vorzeitig entlassen wurde und nach Freidorf zurückkehren konnte. Seiner Neigung folgend, suchte er seinen Brotberuf nicht in der hauseigenen Schreinerei, sondern in der Schreiberzunft. FREIHEIT hieß sein erster Arbeitgeber, ein sozialdemokratisches Temeswarer Tageblatt, und eine Journalistenlaufbahn hatte ihren Anfang genommen. Das war im Jahre 1947. Ein Jahr später heuerte er bei der berühmten TEMEVARER ZEITUNG an. Es war halt eine ungute Zeit, auch für junge, ambitionierte Journalisten. 1949 stellten die Kommunisten dieses verdiente Presseorgan ein. Das veranlasste Jakob...
