Joan Manuel Gisbert

Joan Manuel Gisbert (Barcelona, 16 de octubre de 1949)

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.

Se dio a conocer como escritor para jóvenes lectores en mil novecientos setenta y nueve, con su primera obra, Escenarios fantásticos, editada en una colección dirigida por

Henrik Ibsen

Henrik Johan Ibsen was a major Norwegian playwright largely responsible for the rise of modern realistic drama. He is often referred to as the "father of modern drama." Ibsen is held to be the greatest of Norwegian authors and one of the most important playwrights of all time, celebrated as a national symbol by Norwegians.

His plays were considered scandalous to many of his era, when Victorian values of family life and propriety largely held sway in Europe and any challenge to them was considered immoral and outrageous. Ibsen's work examined the realities that lay behind many facades, possessing a revelatory nature that was disquieting to many contemporaries.

Ibsen largely founded the modern stage by introducing a critical eye and free inquir

Patrick Rothfuss

It all began when Pat Rothfuss was born to a marvelous set of parents. Throughout his formative years they encouraged him to do his best, gave him good advice, and were no doubt appropriately dismayed when he failed to live up to his full potential.

In high-school Pat was something of a class clown. His hobbies included reading a novel or two a day and giving relationship advice to all his friends despite the fact that he had never so much as kissed a girl. He also role-played and wrote terrible stories about elves. He was pretty much a geek.

Most of Pat's adult life has been spent in the University Wisconsin Stevens Point. In 1991 he started college in order to pursue a career in chemical engineering, then he considered clinical psychology.

Michael Ende

Michael Andreas Helmuth Ende was a German writer of fantasy and children's literature. He was the son of the surrealist painter Edgar Ende.

Ende was one of the most popular and famous German authors of the 20th century, mostly due to the enormous success of his children's books. However, Ende was not strictly a children’s author, as he also wrote books for adults. Ende claimed, "It is for this child in me, and in all of us, that I tell my stories," and that "[my books are] for any child between 80 and 8 years" (qtd. Senick 95, 97). Ende’s writing could be described as a surreal mixture of reality and fantasy. The reader is often invited to take a more interactive role in the story, and the worlds in his books often mirror our reality, using

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.
