Irish dramatist, literary critic, a socialist spokesman, and a leading figure in the 20th century theater. He was a freethinker, defender of women's rights, and advocate of equality of income. In 1925 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. He accepted the honour but refused the money. = George Bernard Shaw

He was considered with his friend Lord Byron a pariah for his life style. He drew no essential distinction between poetry and politics, and his work reflected the radical ideas and revolutionary optimism of the era. Like many poets of his day, He employed mythological themes and figures from Greek poetry that gave an exalted tone for his visions. = Percy Bysshe Shelley 830 – Need for not having religious beliefs = The Necessity of Atheism 831 – Song to the fairness of the mind = Hymn to Intellectual Beauty 832 – White mountain in the alps = Mont Blanc 833 – The tumult of Mohammad's followers = The Revolt of Islam 834 – The amourous subject = On Love 835 – Unrulyness covered = The Masque of Anarchy 836 – Freedom's poem = Ode to Liberty 837 – Poem of the city where Trattoria de carmine can be found = Ode to Naples 838 – Greek firegiver freed = Prometheus Unbound 839 – Victory to the living = The Triumph of Life Last edited by Grey_Wolf : 03-02-2007 at 08:43 AM. |

Playwright and actor, a major force in contemporary American theatre since his earliest work. His plays are not easy to categorize, but in general they blend images of the Old West, fascination with pop culture - rock and roll, drugs and television - and bizarre family problems. In 1971 he stated that "I don't want to be a playwright, I want to be a rock and roll star..." Before he was thirty, had over thirty plays produced in New York. He has repeatedly examined the moral anomie and spiritual starvation that label the world of his drama. = Sam Shepard
840 – Ranchers = Cowboys 841 – Stony patch = Rockgarden 842 – Mission: swirling snake = Operation Sidewinder 843 – Criminality's Dental piece = The Tooth of Crime 844 – Sleepimages of an equestrian = Geography of A Horsedreamer 845 – Lump of a murderer = Killers’s Head 846 – God's henchmen's town = Angel City 847 – Poverty's state = Curse of the Starving Class 848 – Deveived amoursly = Seduced 849 – Amourously unaware = Fool For Love Last edited by Grey_Wolf : 03-07-2007 at 01:53 PM. |

British-born Australian novelist, an accomplished storyteller, a book of his was adapted for the screen in 1959. The picture became one of the most celebrated anti-Bomb films, and attracted much attention in Moscow because it was the first full-length American feature to have a premiere in the Soviet Union. He was educated as an aeronautical engineer and he used his expertise on technical issues and knowledge of aviation in his books. = Nevil Shute
