IMPORTANT AND FAMOUS WRITERS!!!


____________________________________________________________________________        “I lived to write, and wrote to live”

Samuel Rogers (1763-1855) was an English poet, during his lifetime one of the most celebrated, although his fame has long since been eclipsed by his Romantic colleagues and friends Wordsworth, Coleridge and Byron. His recollections of these and other friends such as Charles James Fox are key sources for information about London artistic and literary life, with which he was intimate, and which he used his wealth to support. He made his money as a banker and was also a discriminating art collector. _________________________________________________________________________________"Write without pay until somebody offers to pay”


Mark Twain (1835-1910). American Humorist, Writer and Lecturer. People write to obtain a pleasure in their world and the mind. Therefore, we can express feelings, doubts, thoughts, etc. to others in any moment. Twain's first book, "The Innocents Abroad," was published in 1869, "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" in 1876, and "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" in 1885. He wrote 28 books and numerous short stories, letters and sketches. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ "Writing is nothing more than a guided dream.”
Jorge Luis Borges (24 de agosto de 1899–Ginebra, 14 de junio de 1986) was an Argentine poet, essayist, and short-story writer whose works have become classics of 20th-century world literature. The author said that writing is a process in which there are steps to achieve a goal: the reader´s attention. It insists on some grammatical rules, coherence and sense. Thus, writing sends on different messages. _________________________________________________________
