Karin Boye

Karin Boye s-a născut pe 26 Octombrie 1900, în orașul Suedez Göteborg. Ea a început să scrie și sã participe la dezbateri culturale chiar din vremea studenției, la început din punct de vedere religios, răzvrătindu-se pe atunci împotriva politicii conservatoare culturale. Poeziile din tinerețe au fost influențate de Buddhism, Schopenhauer și în cele din urmã de Nietzsche. A scris în tinerețe volumele de poezii: MOLN(1922), GÖMDA LAND(1924) și HÄRDARNA(1927). În volumul FÖR TRÄDETS SKULL( 1935) ea își schimbă stilul… Romanele și povestirile scurte pe care le-a scris au tratat dificile probleme psihologice și morale… În 1931 Boye a fondat cu Erik Mesterton revista de poezie Riwkin Spektrum, prezentându-i pe T.S.Eliot și Surrealists cititorilor Suedezi. Împreunã cu criticul Erik Mesterton, ea a tradus Eliot's Waste Land. Boye a contribuit de asemenea la revista Arbetet(între anii 1932-1933).

T.S. Eliot

Thomas Stearns Eliot, OM (26 September 1888–4 January 1965), was a poet, playwright and literary critic. He received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1948. Among his most famous writings are the poems The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, The Waste Land, The Hollow Men, Ash Wednesday and Four Quartets; the plays Murder in the Cathedral and The Cocktail Party; and the essay "Tradition and the Individual Talent". Eliot was born in the United States, moved to the United Kingdom in 1914 (at age 25), and became a British subject in 1927 at the age of 39. Of his nationality and its role in his work, Eliot said: "[My poetry] wouldn't be what it is if I'd been born in England, and it wouldn't be what it is if I'd stayed in America. It's a combination of things. But in its sources, in its emotional springs, it comes from America."

paulo coelho

Paulo Coelho was born in 1947 into a middle-class family, the son of Pedro, an engineer, and Lygia, a housewife. At seven, he entered the Jesuit school of San Ignacio in Rio de Janeiro. Paulo came to detest the obligatory nature of religious practice. However, although he hated praying and going to mass, there were compensations. In the school\'s austere corridors, Paulo discovered his true vocation: to be a writer. He won his first literary prize in a school poetry competition, and his sister, Sonia, recounts how she won an essay prize by entering something that Paulo had discarded in the wastepaper bin. \"Paulo Coelho is not only one of the most widely read, but also one the most influential authors writing today,\" wrote the Bambi awards in Germany. \"His books have had a life-enhancing impact on millions of people\" wrote The Times in UK. To date a sum of 280 translations in 59 languages have been published with sales totalling almost 56 million copies in 150 countries. For 15...
