  Júlia Lopes de Almeida

  The first Brazilian woman to lead what can legitimately be called a career as an author, Júlia Valentina de Silveira Lopes de Almeida was a novelist and playwright, an advocate for women's education and other progressive social reform, and an all-around intellectual. Though she was immensely popular in the late 19th and early 20th Century, her works were forgotten soon after her death, largely due to the country's literary trajectory toward modernism. Recently, however, scholars and readers have begun to unearth and rediscover the pleasures and technical merits of the vast and diverse body of literature she left behind.

  Fernando Pessoa

  Fernando António Nogueira Pessoa was a poet and writer.
  
  It is sometimes said that the four greatest Portuguese poets of modern times are Fernando Pessoa. The statement is possible since Pessoa, whose name means ‘person’ in Portuguese, had three alter egos who wrote in styles completely different from his own. In fact Pessoa wrote under dozens of names, but Alberto Caeiro, Ricardo Reis and Álvaro de Campos were – their creator claimed – full-fledged individuals who wrote things that he himself would never or could never write.

Not only were their styles different; they thought differently, they h

  Yasmina Khadra

  Yasmina Khadra (Arabic: ياسمينة خضراء‎, literally "green jasmine") is the pen name of the Algerian author Mohammed Moulessehoul.

Despite the publication of many successful novels in Algeria, Moulessehoul only revealed his true identity in 2001 after leaving the army and going into exile and seclusion in France. Anonymity was the only way for him to survive and avoid censorship during the Algerian Civil War.
  In 2004, Newsweek acclaimed him as "one of the rare writers capable of giving a meaning to the violence in Algeria today."
  His novel The Swallows of Kabul, set in Afghanistan under the Taliban, was shortlisted for the 2006 International
