Germán Castro Caycedo

Germán Castro Caycedo nació en Zipaquirá, una ciudad cercana a Bogotá, en 1940.

Actualmente es el escritor colombiano de literatura no-ficción más leído en su país. Sus libros alcanzan tirajes que hoy sobrepasan un millón de libros acogidos por el público colombiano. La sólida credibilidad con que goza el autor sumada a la calidad literaria de su trabajo son parte del resultado.

Sus historias cortadas de la realidad son tejidas con base en investigaciones minuciosas y vivencias propias en los lugares donde acontecen los hechos.

Escribe utilizando la misma técnica de la novela en cuanto a estructura, manejo del tiempo dramático, equilibrio en los clímax y todos aquellos factores de la gran narrativa, pero rechaza crear situaciones ficticias.

Adolfo Vicente Perfecto Bioy Casares (1914-1999) was born in Buenos Aires, the child of wealthy parents.

Albert Camus

Works, such as the novels The Stranger (1942) and The Plague (1947), of Algerian-born French writer and philosopher Albert Camus concern the absurdity of the human condition; he won the Nobel Prize of 1957 for literature.

Origin and his experiences of this representative of non-metropolitan literature in the 1930s dominated influences in his thought and work.

He also adapted plays of Pedro Calderón de la Barca, Lope de Vega, Dino Buzzati, and Requiem for a Nun of William Faulkner. One may trace his enjoyment of the theater back to his membership in l'Equipe, an Algerian group, whose "collective creation" Révolte dans les Asturies (1934) was banned for political reasons.
