Julia Donaldson

Growing up
I grew up in a tall Victorian London house with my parents, grandmother, aunt, uncle, younger sister Mary and cat Geoffrey (who was really a prince in disguise. Mary and I would argue about which of us would marry him).

Mary and I were always creating imaginary characters and mimicking real ones, and I used to write shows and choreograph ballets for us. A wind-up gramophone wafted out Chopin waltzes.

I studied Drama and French at Bristol University, where I met Malcolm, a guitar-playing medic to whom I’m now married.

Busking and books
Before Malcolm and I had our three sons we used to go busking together and I would write special songs for each country; the best one was in Italian about pasta.

The busking led to a career in singing a

Born into Barcelona's upper middle class on August 30, 1936, Tusquets grew up during Francisco Franco's right-wing dictatorship (in power from 1937 to 1975).

Klaus Mann

Born in Munich, Klaus Mann was the son of German writer Thomas Mann and his wife, Katia Pringsheim. His father was baptized as a Lutheran, while his mother was from a family of secular Jews.

Mann's most famous novel, Mephisto, was written in 1936 and first published in Amsterdam. The novel is a thinly-disguised portrait of his former brother-in-law, the actor Gustaf Gründgens. The literary scandal surrounding it made Mann posthumously famous in West Germany, as Gründgens' adopted son brought a legal case to have the novel banned after its first publication in West Germany in the early 1960s. After seven years of legal hearings, the West German Supreme Court upheld the ban, although it continued to be available in East Germany and abroad. Th

Manuel García Morente

Filósofo, traductor, profesor universitario y sacerdote español nacido en Arjonilla (Jaén) en 1886 y fallecido en Madrid el 7 de diciembre de 1942. Humanista fecundo y polifacético, vivamente interesado por todas las corrientes del pensamiento actual (y, en especial, por el bergsonismo, la fenomenología y la axiología o teoría de los valores), acusó la notable influencia filosófica y personal (tanto en su obra como en su propia vida) de su maestro, colega y amigo José Ortega y Gasset, hasta el extremo de convertirse en uno de los más autorizados difusores de su pensamiento. A la postre, sus inquietudes religiosas le fueron llevando hacia una filosofía espiritualista cuyo eje central fue la especulación sobre el tema de Dios.
