José Joaquín Fernández de Lizardi
Escritor mexicano. Es el gran iniciador de la novela americana. En 1812 fundó el periódico liberal El Pensador Mexicano, suspendido por el gobierno de Fernando VII, pero cuyo título se apropió el autor como seudónimo. Su vigor polémico le enfrentó en repetidas ocasiones con el orden constituido. Tras la independencia, dirigió la Gaceta del Gobierno (1825). Sus obras narrativas, que reflejan sus posturas críticas, incluyen El Periquillo Sarniento (1816 y 1830-1831) y La Quijotita y su prima (1818). También cultivó, con menos éxito, la poesía y el teatro. Su autobiografía, Noches tristes y día alegre (1818), contiene los primeros gérmenes del romanticismo mexicano.

William Shakespeare
William Shakespeare was an English playwright, poet, and actor. He is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon" (or simply "the Bard"). His extant works, including collaborations, consist of some 39 plays, 154 sonnets, three long narrative poems, and a few other verses, some of uncertain authorship. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Shakespeare remains arguably the most influential writer in the English language, and his works continue to be studied and reinterpreted.

Pablo Neruda
Pablo Neruda, born Ricardo Eliécer Neftalí Reyes Basoalto in 1904 in Parral, Chile, was a poet, diplomat, and politician, widely considered one of the most influential literary figures of the 20th century.

His breakthrough came with Veinte poemas de amor y una canción desesperada (Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair, 1924), a collection of deeply emotional and sensual poetry that gained international recognition and remains one of his most celebrated works.

Xavier Velasco
Enamorado impenitente de la música, las motocicletas, la adrenalina y las palabras en esteroides, Velasco comenzó a escribir a los nueve años, como una forma de escapar a las aulas. Ejerce desde entonces la literatura como un vicio secreto, al que años después da curso a través de experimentar con la crónica y la forma de vida del rock. Tránsfuga de las carreras de Ciencias Políticas y Literatura, ejerce luego oficios variopintos, como el de director creativo (de lo cual dice haber extraído "algún dinero y ningún orgullo") y editor de una revista de aristócratas. Acostumbrado a dobles y triples vidas, Velasco desempeña al mismo tiempo los papeles de copywriter, periodista, rockero, socialité, noctámbulo barriobajero y escritor subrepticio.

Joan Manuel Gisbert nació cuando un otoño se encaminaba a su plenitud, hecho que siempre ha ejercido una sutil influencia en su vida. Vivió sus tres primeros años, hasta la prematura muerte de su padre, muy cerca del Parque Güell, de Gaudí, que fue muchas veces escenario de sus juegos, en aquellos tiempos en que las empinadas calles que conducen al recinto estaban casi siempre solitarias, sin sombra ni presagio de los cientos de miles de visitantes de todo el mundo que, décadas más tarde, las recorrerían cada temporada.
