Lope de Vega
Lope de Vega Carpio (Madrid, 25 de noviembre de 1562 - Madrid, 27 de agosto de 1635) fue uno de los poetas y dramaturgos más importantes del Siglo de Oro español y, por la extensión de su obra, uno de los autores más prolíficos de la literatura universal. El llamado Fénix de los ingenios y Monstruo de Naturaleza (por Miguel de Cervantes) renovó las fórmulas del teatro español en un momento en el que el teatro comenzaba a ser un fenómeno cultural de masas. Máximo exponente, junto a Tirso de Molina y Calderón de la Barca, del teatro barroco español, sus obras siguen representándose en la actualidad y constituyen una de las cotas más altas alcanzadas en la literatura y las artes españolas. Fue también uno de los grandes líricos de la lengua castellana y autor de varias novelas y obras narrativas largas en prosa y en verso. Se le atribuyen unos 3.000 sonetos, tres novelas, cuatro novelas cortas, nueve epopeyas, tres poemas didácticos y varios centenares de comedias (1.800 según Juan Pérez de Montalbán). Amigo de Francisco de Quevedo y de Juan Ruiz de Alarcón, enemistado con Luis de Góngora y en larga rivalidad con Cervantes, su vida fue tan extrema como su obra. Fue padre de la también dramaturga sor Marcela de San Félix.

Louis-Ferdinand Celine
Louis-Ferdinand Céline, né le 27 mai 1894 à Courbevoie et mort le 1er juillet 1961 à Meudon, connu sous son nom de plume généralement abrégé en Céline, est un écrivain, médecin et collaborationniste français. Il est notamment célèbre pour Voyage au bout de la nuit, publié en 1932 et récompensé par le prix Renaudot la même année. Considéré, à l'instar de Faulkner et de Joyce, comme l'un des plus grands novateurs de la littérature du XXe siècle, Céline introduit un style elliptique personnel et très travaillé, qui emprunte à l'argot et tend à s'approcher de l'émotion immédiate du langage parlé. Céline est aussi connu pour son antisémitisme et sa collaboration active avec l'occupant nazi : il publie des pamphlets virulents dès 1937 et dénonce publiquement plusieurs personnes pour leur judéité réelle ou supposée. Il est alors proche des milieux collaborationnistes et du service de sécurité nazi. Il rejoint en 1944 le gouvernement en exil du régime de Vichy à Sigmaringen. Ces faits lui vaudront, après la guerre, d'être frappé d'indignité nationale. (Wikipedia) Louis-Ferdinand Céline, born on May 27, 1894, in Courbevoie and died on July 1, 1961, in Meudon, known by his pen name usually shortened to Céline, was a French writer, physician, and collaborator. He is particularly famous for Journey to the End of the Night, published in 1932 and awarded the Prix Renaudot the same year. Considered, like Faulkner and Joyce, one of the greatest innovators of 20th-century literature, Céline introduced a personal and highly crafted elliptical style, drawing on slang and striving to capture the immediate emotion of spoken language. Céline is also known for his antisemitism and active collaboration with the Nazi occupiers: he published virulent pamphlets as early as 1937 and publicly denounced several people for their real or perceived Jewishness. He was then close to collaborationist circles and the Nazi security service. In 1944, he joined the Vichy regime's government-in-exile in Sigmaringen. These actions led to his being stripped of his civic rights after the war.

We cover the arts, too - theworld-renowned music festival, the shops full of museum-quality paintingsand sculptures. Southwestern art is big, of course: paintings and potteryand Navajo rugs."

Marcella Thum
Marcella Thum, an award-winning author and librarian, died Thursday (July 11, 2002) of lymphoma at St. Mary's Health Center. She was 77 and lived in Affton. Miss Thum wrote more than 20 books, both fiction and nonfiction, on various subjects. For her first book, "The Mystery at Crane's Landing," she received an Edgar Award for best juvenile work from the Mystery Writers of America in 1965. Her nonfiction work, "Exploring Black America," was a guide to points of interest for African-Americans in 1975. For that, she received a Notable Children's Book Award from the American Library Association. She updated it in 1991, and it was published as "A Guide to Black America." She also collaborated with her sister, Gladys, on several nonfiction books, including "Exploring Military America," which pointed out battlefields and museums of interest, in 1982. Born in St. Louis, Miss Thum earned a bachelor's degree from Washington University and a master's degree in library science from the University of California at Berkeley. Throughout the 1950s, she worked as a librarian and writer for the Air Force and was stationed in South Korea, Germany, Hawaii and Okinawa and at Scott Air Force Base in Illinois. With her love of traveling and her experience living abroad, she was able to set a few novels in exotic locales. She wrote "Mistress of Paradise" about the takeover of Hawaii by the United States, and "Thorn Trees," which was set in Kenya in World War I. "When she wrote her stories, she always wanted to teach the history in a way that would be interesting so people would learn," said her niece, Marilee Gilmore. "She always took the underdog side. She educated people, in a gentle way, to see the other side." She wrote primarily in her spare time. After working for the government, she became librarian at Affton High School in the early 1960s. She later was a librarian at St. Louis Community College at Meramec. She was honored as a Distinguished St. Louisan at Cupples House at St. Louis University and by the Missouri Writers Guild. Although she received numerous accolades, Miss Thum did not boast about her accomplishments. "She was very humble; nobody would guess that she was such a great writer," Gilmore said. Years ago, she was active in the St. Louis chapter of Romance Writers of America and several area writers clubs. She was a member of the Rose Society at the Missouri Botanical Garden, the Mount Tabor United Church of Christ and the American Library Association. She is interred with her sister, Gladys (1920-2005). *Goodreads
