Maram 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...

Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie s-a născut ca Agatha Mary Clarissa Miller în Torquay, Devon, în Regatul Unit. Părinţii ei erau Frederick Alvah Miller, un broker american bogat și Clarissa Margaret Boehmer, fiica unui căpitan din armata britanică. Cu toate că era îndreptăţită, Christie nu a cerut niciodată cetăţenia americană. A avut o soră, Margaret Frary Miller (1879 – 1950), numită colocvial Madge, cu 11 ani mai în vârstă și un frate Louis Montant Miller (1880 – 1929), numit colocvial Monty, cu 10 ani mai în vârstă. Tatăl ei a murit când Agatha avea doar 11 ani. A primit o educaţie acasă sub îndrumarea mamei sale, aceasta încurajând-o să scrie de la o vârstă fragedă. De la vârsta de 16 ani a urmat școala Doamnei Dryden din Paris unde a studiat canto-ul și pianul. Prima căsătorie a avut loc în 1914 cu colonelul Archibald Christie, un aviator din Royal Flying Corps....

Charles Bukowski

Henry Charles Bukowski (16 august 1920 - 9 martie 1994), a fost un poet, romancier germano-american. Scrierile lui Bukowski au fost puternic influențate de atmosfera casei lui din orașul Los Angeles și sunt marcate de empatie pentru viața obișnuită a săracilor americani albi, actul scrisului, alcool, relațiile cu femei. Un autor prolific, Bukowski a scris mii de poezii, sute de nuvele și șase romane. Descendent literar al lui Henry Miller, Charles Bukowski scrie o proza care, chiar daca socheaza adesea prin vulgaritate, este de o cruda si dezarmanta onestitate. S-a nascut in Germania, in Andernach, in 1920. Cind avea doi ani, parintii sai au emigrat in Statele Unite; a crescut si si-a petrecut mare parte din viata in Los Angeles. Impreuna cu sotia sa, Linda, a locuit apoi in San Pedro, California, unde a murit in 1994, de leucemie. Hank, asa cum ii spuneau prietenii, a fost, dupa opinia lui Genet si Sartre, „cel mai bun poet din America“. Este printre cei mai cititi scriitori...

Seamus Heaney

Seamus Heaney (born 13 April 1939) is an Irish poet, writer and lecturer who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1995. He currently lives in Dublin. Seamus Heaney was born on April 13, 1939 into a family of nine children at the family farmhouse called Mossbawn, between Castledawson and Toomebridge in Northern Ireland. In 1953, his family moved to Bellaghy, a few miles away, which is now the family home. His father, Patrick Heaney, owned and worked a small farm of fifty acres in County Londonderry, but his real commitment was to cattle-dealing, to which he was introduced by the uncles who had cared for him after the early death of his own parents. Seamus' mother came from the McCann family, whose uncles and relations were employed in the local linen mill and whose aunt had worked as a maid to the mill owners' family. The poet has commented on the fact that his parentage thus contains both the Ireland of the cattle-herding Gaelic past and the Ulster of the Industrial...
