Nikolai Gogol
People consider that Russian writer Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol (Николай Васильевич Гоголь) founded realism in Russian literature. His works include The Overcoat (1842) and Dead Souls (1842).

Ukrainian birth, heritage, and upbringing of Gogol influenced many of his written works among the most beloved in the tradition of Russian-language literature. Most critics see Gogol as the first Russian realist. His biting satire, comic realism, and descriptions of Russian provincials and petty bureaucrats influenced later Russian masters Leo Tolstoy, Ivan Turgenev, and especially Fyodor Dostoyevsky. Gogol wittily said many later Russian maxims.

Pedro Calderón de la Barca
Pedro Calderón de la Barca y Henao was a dramatist of the Spanish Golden Age.
Buy books on Amazon
Calderón initiated what has been called the second cycle of Spanish Golden Age theatre. Whereas his predecessor, Lope de Vega, pioneered the dramatic forms and genres of Spanish Golden Age theatre, Calderón polished and perfected them. Whereas Lope's strength lay in the sponteneity and naturalness of his work, Calderón's strength lay in his capacity for poetic beauty, dramatic structure and philosophical depth. Calderón was a perfectionist who often revisited and reworked his plays, even long after they debuted. This perfectionism was not just limited to his own work: many of his plays rework existing plays or scenes by other dramatists, improving their depth, comp -
Goran Tribuson
Diplomirao je i magistrirao (filmolgija) na Filozofskom fakultetu u Zagrebu. Kratke priče počinje objavljivati početkom 1970-ih godina 20. stoljeća u prvom valu tzv. fantastičara (Zavjera kartografa i Praška smrt), da bi se postupno opredijelio za žanrovsku prozu. Kritika je odmah uočila Tribusona kao najtipičnijeg predstavnika hrvatskih borgesovaca koji prvi među brojnima u toj struji postiže punu autorsku zrelost. Postupno napušta fantastiku, ali zadržava interes za srednjoeuropsku ikonografiju i težnju prema okultnome, što se očituje u njegovim romanima Snijeg u Heidelbergu, Čuješ li nas, Frido Štern (u cjelokupnom autorovom opusu jednom od najboljih njegovih djela), te Ruskom ruletu.

Edgar Allan Poe
The name Poe brings to mind images of murderers and madmen, premature burials, and mysterious women who return from the dead. His works have been in print since 1827 and include such literary classics as The Tell-Tale Heart, The Raven, and The Fall of the House of Usher. This versatile writer’s oeuvre includes short stories, poetry, a novel, a textbook, a book of scientific theory, and hundreds of essays and book reviews. He is widely acknowledged as the inventor of the modern detective story and an innovator in the science fiction genre, but he made his living as America’s first great literary critic and theoretician. Poe’s reputation today rests primarily on his tales of terror as well as on his haunting lyric poetry.

He became a man of many abilities: he spoke 9 languages and was well versed in astronomy and mathematics. His realistic assessment of strengths and weaknesses of Croatia's position between the hammer of Austrian bureaucracy and the anvil of Hungarian expansionist nationalism served his country invaluably in times of political turmoil. Mažuranić is best remembered for the "triple accomplishment"—contributions in economics, linguistics, and poetry.
