SCStephen Crane
Stephen Crane (1871-1900), American author, whose second novel, The Red Badge Of Courage (1895), brought him international fame. The Red Badge of Courage depicted the American Civil War from the point of view of an ordinary soldier. It has been called the first modern war novel. Crane was born in Newark, New Jersey, on November1, 1871, as the 14th child of a Methodist minister. He started to write stories at the age of eight and at 16 he was writing articles for the New York Tribune. Crane studied at Lafayette College and Syracuse University. After his mother's death in 1890 - his father had died earlier - Crane moved to New York, where he lived a bohemian life, and worked as a free-lance writer and journalist. While supporting himself by his writings, he lived among the poor in the Bowery slums to research his first novel. Crane's first novel, Maggie: A Girl Of The Streets(1893) was a milestone in the development of literary naturalism. Crane had to print the book at his own expense,...

FBFranz Bardon

HFHÖLDERLIN, Friedrich
Johann Christian Friedrich Hölderlin (20 March 1770 – 6 June 1843) was a major German lyric poet. His work bridges the Classical and Romantic schools. Having spent most of his life tormented by mental illness, he suffered great loneliness, and often spent his time playing the piano, drawing, reading, writing, and enjoyed travelling when he had the chance. The poetry of Hölderlin, widely recognized today as one of the highest points of German literature, was little known or understood during his lifetime and slipped into obscurity shortly after his death; his illness and reclusion made him fade from his contemporaries' consciousness – and, even though selections of his work were being published by his friends already during his lifetime, it was largely ignored for the rest of the 19th century. In fact, Hölderlin was a man of his time, an early supporter of the French Revolution – in his youth at the Seminary of Tübingen, he and some colleagues from a "republican club" planted a "Tree...

NNostradamus
Michel de Nostredame[1] (14 or 21 December 1503[2] – 2 July 1566), usually Latinised to Nostradamus, was a French apothecary and reputed seer who published collections of prophecies that have since become famous worldwide. He is best known for his book Les Propheties (The Prophecies), the first edition of which appeared in 1555. Since the publication of this book, which has rarely been out of print since his death, Nostradamus has attracted a following that, along with the popular press, credits him with predicting many major world events. Most academic sources maintain that the associations made between world events and Nostradamus's quatrains are largely the result of misinterpretations or mistranslations (sometimes deliberate) or else are so tenuous as to render them useless as evidence of any genuine predictive power.[3] Moreover, none of the sources listed offers any evidence that anyone has ever interpreted any of Nostradamus's quatrains specifically enough to allow a clear...

JRJaufré Rudel
Jaufré Rudel de Blaia a fost un om foarte nobil și generos și prinț de Blaia. Și s-a îndrăgostit de contesa de Tripoli, fără a o fi văzut vreodată, și numai pentru vorbele bune pe care le-a auzit despre ea de la pelerinii ce se întorceau din Antiohia. Și a scris despre ea multe versuri cu melodii bune, dar cu cuvinte simple. Și pentru că voia să o vadă, s-a făcut cruciat și s-a pornit pe mare. Și pe corabie a căzut bolnav și a fost dus la Tripoli aproape mort într-un han. Și aceasta a ajuns la urechile contesei și ea a venit la el, la căpătâiul său și l-a luat în brațe. Și a știut că ea era contesa, și pe loc și-a redobândit vederea și auzul și l-a lăudat pe Dumnezeu pentru că l-a ținut în viață până a văzut-o. Și astfel a murit el în brațele sale. Iar ea l-a așezat în mormânt cu mare cinste în casa Templului. Și pe urmă, în aceeași zi, s-a călugărit pentru durerea pe care a dobândit-o prin moartea lui. Engleză Jaufre Rudel (Jaufré in modern Occitan) was the Prince of Blaye (Princes...

JMJean Marot
Jehan Desmaretz, alias Jean Marot (Mathieu, près de Caen, v. 1465 - Paris, v. 1526), écrivain français de la fin du XVe et du début du XVIe siècle, qui fut un poète et grand rhétoriqueur . Jean Marot reçut une éducation négligée. On ne lui fit point apprendre le latin ; mais il y suppléa, autant qu'il fut en lui, en étudiant dans les auteurs l'histoire, la fable et la poésie. Le Roman de la Rose était sa lecture favorite. Sa bonne conduite et quelques vers qu'il avait composés lui méritèrent la protection d'Anne de Bretagne, depuis femme de Louis XII ; il fut son secrétaire en 1506 et son poète en titre ; et, par son ordre, il suivit Louis XII dans ses expéditions de Gènes et de Venise, avec mission expresse de les célébrer c'est ce qu'il fit dans deux poèmes intitulés l'un Voyage de Gênes, l'autre Voyage de Venise, où l'emploi du merveilleux ne nuit en rien à l'exactitude historique. Louis XII mort, il entra au service de François Ier comme valet de garde-robe, et donna à son maître...
