Tadeusz Dołęga-Mostowicz

Tadeusz Dołęga-Mostowicz was a Polish journalist and author of over a dozen popular novels. The best known, which in Poland became a byword for fortuitous careerism, was The Career of Nicodemus Dyzma. It is claimed by some that the book subsequently inspired the 1971 novel Being There by Jerzy Kosiński.

Tadeusz Mostowicz was born August 10, 1898, at his family's village of Okuniewo, near Vitebsk in the Russian Empire, the son of a wealthy lawyer. After graduating from gimnazjum (high school) in Vilna (now Vilnius, Lithuania), then Russian Empire in 1915 he embarked upon law studies at the University of Kiev. There he befriended numerous fellow members of the Polish diaspora and became involved in a local underground group of the Polska Organ

Peter Pišťanek

Pišťanek was a prose writer who managed to come out with a new type of prose at the beginning of the 1990's. He began publishing at the end of the 1980's in Slovenské pohľady, the best literary magazine in those years. His novelistic debut, Rivers of Babylon was an unusual success with the readers as well as the critics. The author described what was then a non-traditional topic for the Slovak literature - the Bratislava underground - using very expressive language and a variety of stylistic levels. The characters that fill his novel are small-time crooks and bigime entrepreneurs-privatizers as well as prostitutes. The only ambition of these people is to make their life more pleasant which, in their understanding, means to cheat, exploit, o

Jozef Gregor Tajovský

Spisovateľ, prozaik, dramatik, vedúca osobnosť druhej vlny slovenského literárneho realizmu

Pochádzal z rodiny remeselníka a hutníckeho dozorcu. Vyrastal však u starého otca Štefana Grešku, hutníckeho robotníka a domkára. Rodisko sa podpísalo pod jeho národnú uvedomelosť, čo mu pomohlo pri zblížení sa s banskobystrickými národovcami. Národné presvedčenie bolo neskôr dôvodom na časté striedanie učiteľských miest, keďže bolo prameňom nezhôd s vrchnosťou (cirkevnou i štátnou). Počas štúdií v Prahe sa stal členom spolku Detvan a zblížil sa s hlasistami a českými realistami. Prebúdzal národné povedomie dedinského a robotníckeho ľudu, sústredil sa najmä na odhaľovanie jeho zlého sociálneho postavenia, študoval jeho život (piesne, obyčaje, porekadl

Božena Slančíková Timrava

Slovenská prozaička a dramatička.

Narodila sa v rodine evanjelického farára Pavla Slančíka, ktorý bol spoluzakladateľom Matice slovenskej. Mala desať súrodencov (jej brat Bohuslav, evanjelický farár, bol jej dvojčaťom), z ktorých 6 sa dožilo dospelého veku, a viacerí z nich boli neskôr literárne činní. Vzdelanie získala najprv v rodisku, potom ju učil otec, v Banskej Bystrici ukončila 4. triedu meštianskej školy. Nevydala sa, vďaka čomu mala celý život existenčné problémy. Hoci sa neustále snažila oslobodiť od rodiny, jej pokusy nájsť si prácu neboli veľmi úspešné. Chvíľu bola spoločníčkou vdovy v Dolnom Kubíne, neskôr sa stala v Martine opatrovateľkou zbierok Slovenského národného múzea, no vydržala tam tiež len krátko. V roku 1909 sa presť
