Anne Hébert (1916-2000)
Novelista, poetisa, teatróloga e contista Franco-Canadense, que se tornou famosa por examinar a vida dos Quebeçois*. Herbert combinou realismo e simbolismo, ao mesmo tempo em que “retrabalhou” as tradições da Novela Histórica. Em seus poemas, Ela usou versos livres e densos, com imagens quase surrealistas. Suas novelas mostram a influência do “nouveau roman”** francês e técnicas de narrativas pós modernistas.
* Após 22 anos de governo liberal, em 1957 os conservadores ganharam as eleições, retornando em 1963, liderados por Lester Bowles Pearson. Surgiram então organizações separatistas, como o Parti Québécois, fundado em 1968.
(J.B.Xavier)
** Nouveau roman, também conhecido como anti-romance. Gênero cultivado, depois da Segunda Guerra Mundial, por um grupo de escritores franceses que, reagindo contra o romance tradicional, lançaram-se em busca de novos temas e técnicas literárias. Entre os mais destacados autores deste estilo narrativo figuram Claude Simon, Robert Pinget, Alain Robbe-Grillet e Michel Butor.

I lost so many battles during it that I even began to suspect that my assistant director was plotting against me. Then I realized that it was only God. God had a perfectly good reason. Ahab saw the White Whale as a mask worn by the Deity, and he saw the Deity as a malignant force. It was God"s pleasure to torment and torture man. Ahab didn"t deny God, he simply looked on him as a murderer - a thought that is utterly blasphemous: "Is Ahab Ahab? Is it I, God, or who, that lifts this arm?...Where do murderers go?... Who"s to doom, when the judge himself is dragged to the bar?"" (John Huston in An Open Book, 1980)

Carter Brown (1923-1985) –Pseudônimo para Allan Geoffrey Yates, que usou também o pseudônimo de Caroline Farr
Escritor australiano.Alan G. Yates arrancou de sua máquina de escrever, entre 1953 e 1958, mais de 150 estórias de crimes, sob o nome de Carter Brown. Seus livros eram muito copiados, razão pela qual as vendas eram baixas, apesar de sua fama. Seus últimos livros apareceram nos primeiros anos da década de 80, e apesar de nunca freqüentado muito os Estados Unidos – ele preferia muito mais a Europa - era em terras americanas que ele ambientava suas histórias. As novelas de yates têm uma atmosfera leve, e seus heróis são sempre inteligentes, sagazes, refinados e cultos

Rupert (Chawner) Brooke (1887-1915)
Poeta Inglês cuja morte prematura, na Primeira Guerra Mundial encerrou uma carreira promissora. O trabalho mais conhecido de Brooke é a seqüência de sonetos “1914 E OUTROS POEMAS” contendo o famoso “O SOLDADO”. Poetas sempre glorificaram a guerra, e Brooke envidou seus melhores esforços para continuar essa tradição, ainda que para isso tenha sacrificado a própria vida. Sua morte transformou-o num herói da primeira fase da guerra e um ícone para todos os que tinhas enviado seus jovens para o front. Contudo, a poesia de Brooke, com seu bom humor patriótico e seu ingênuo entusiasmo foram além da realidade da guerra e contribuíram para sua total compreensão.

Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822)
Poeta romântico inglês, que se rebelou contra o sistema político de seu país e seus valores demasiadamente conservadores. Juntamente com seu amigo Lord Byron, Shelley era considerado um paria, devido ao estilo de vida que levavam. Ele não via distinções muito claras entre poesia e política e seus trabalhos refletem suas idéias radicais e seu otimismo revolucionário. Como muitos poetas de seu tempo, Shelley utilizou temas e figuras mitológicas da poesia grega, o que fornecia um tom exaltado aos seus trabalhos.

Guy de Maupassant (1850-1893) – Nome completo: Henry-René-Albert-Guy de Maupassant
Escritor francês da escola naturalista, ainda hoje é reconhecido o maior contista que a França já conheceu. Maupassant extraía suas histórias pessimistas e suas principais novelas diretamente da vida dos camponeses normandos, da guerra Franco-Prussiana, do ambiente da vida burguesa e da vida volátil de Paris. Já ao fim da vida, Maupassant passou a sofre de doenças mentais, perdendo completamente a capacidade de escrever.

Jacinto Benavente (1866-1954) - Jacinto Benavente y Martinez
Um dos mais importantes dramaturgos do século XX. Ganhou o Premio Nobel de 1922 e escreveu mais de 170 peças. Em seus primeiros trabalhos, ele expôs os preconceitos da alta classe média e os defeitos da sociedade em que vivia, mesmo não sendo um reformista social. A segunda metade da carreira de Benaventes é considerado um longo e ininterrupto declínio.

Alfred Hitchcock (1899-1980)
Diretor de cinematográfico, é considerado o grande mago da magia do cinema. Seus trabalhos abrangem grande parte da história dessa arte, podendo-se mesmo dizer que se confunde com ela, pois vai desde THE LODGER (1926) a FAMILY PLOT (1976). Enchendo as telas com suas histórias, ele foi um dos principais artífices que ajudaram a elevar o cinema ao status de Arte. Quando Hitchcock recebeu o prêmio Achievement, da American Film Institute"s Lifetime, ele o dedicou à sua esposa Alma Reville, declarando: “à editora de filmes, roteirista, mãe de meus filhos e talentosa cozinheira.”

Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832)
Escocês, Scott foi, além de escritor e poeta, um contador de histórias nato e um dos maiores criadores de romances históricos que o mundo já conheceu. Suas novelas históricas ampliaram o repertório técnico da prosa em ficção, dando-lhe respeito e status através de sua projeção e apresentação à moderna indústria editorial. A influência de Scottt pode ser sentida em outros grandes da literatura, como James Fenimore Cooper, Alexandre Dumas, e Aleksandr Pushkin.

T(homas) E(dward) Lawrence (1888-1935) – Conhecido como Lawrence da Arábia, também chamado, a partir de 1927, T.E. Shaw
Professor de arqueologia britânico, aventureiro, estrategista militar, e escritor de THE SEVEN PILLARS OF WISDOM - OS SETE PILARES DA SABEDORIA (1927), um ambicioso trabalho que combina fatos acontecidos na revolta árabe contra os turcos, e fatos espirituosos da própria biografia do autor. A personalidade enigmática de T.E. Lawrence ainda fascina seus biógrafos e sua lenda tem sobrevivido às tentativas de descrédito de suas aventuras. Ele foi mais conhecido em seu tempo como “Lawrence da Arábia” devido à ter lutado ao lado dos árabes contra os turcos, durante a Primeira Guerra Mundial. Aos 31 anos, Lawrence era uma personalidade mundial, mas amargurado com a política de seu próprio país, ele escolheu a obscuridade e morreu aos 46 anos, num acidente de motocicleta.
