Ivo Andrić (10 October 1892 – 13 March 1975) was a Yugoslav novelist, poet and short story writer who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1961. His writings dealt mainly with life in his native Bosnia under Ottoman rule. Born in Travnik in Austrian-occupied Bosnia, Andrić attended high school in Sarajevo, where he became an active member of several South Slav national youth organizations. After the war, he studied South Slavic history and literature at universities in Zagreb and Graz, eventually attaining his Ph.D in Graz in 1924. He worked in the diplomatic service of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia from 1920–1923 and again from 1924–1941. In 1939, he became Yugoslavia's ambassador to Germany, but his tenure ended in April 1941 with the German-led invasion of his country. Shortly after the invasion, Andrić returned to German-occupied Belgrade. He lived quietly in a friend's apartment for the duration of World War II, in conditions likened by some biographers to house arrest, and wrote some of his most important works, including Na Drini ćuprija (The Bridge on the Drina), Chronicles of Travnik; Jelena, the Woman of My Dream; The Vizier's Elephant; The House on Its Own. Omer-Pasha Latas; Signs by the Roadside.. By the late 1950s, Andrić's works had been translated into a number of languages. On 26 October 1961, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature by the Swedish Academy.

NECİP FAZIL KISAKÜREK KİMDİR?

Ahmet Necip Fazıl Kısakürek, 26 Mayıs 1904 tarihinde İstanbul'da dünyaya geldi. Eğitim hayatını Fransız Frerler Mektebi'nde, Amerikan Koleji'nde, Emin Efendi Mahalle Mektebi'nde, Rehber-i İttihat Mektebi, Büyük Reşit Paşa Mektebi, Aydınlı Köyü'nün ilk mektebinde ve Heybeliada Numune Mektebi'nde tamamladı.

Adından 1916 yılında günümüzdeki Deniz Harp Okulu olan Mekteb-i Fünûn-ı Bahriye-i Şâhâne'de eğitim gören Kısakürek, beş yıl boyunca bu okulda öğrenim gördü ve okulda Yahya Kemal Beyatlı, Ahmet Hamdi Akseki gibi Hamdullah Suphi Tanrıöver gibi tanınmış isimler görev alıyordu.

Türk şiir ve düşünce hayatında birbirlerine zıt olan Necip Fazıl Kısakürek ve Nazım Hikmet Ran, aynı okulda okumuşlardır. Necip Fazıl Kısakürek, Bahriye Mektebi'nde öğrenim gördüğü sırada şiir ile ilgilenmeye başladı ve "Nihal" adında haftalık bir dergi çıkarmaya başladı.

Okuduğu okulda İngilizce öğrendi ve "Lord Byron, Oscar Wilde, Shakespeare" gibi yazarların eserlerini orjinal dilde okudu. Ahmet Necip olan adının "Necip Fazıl" olması da bu okulda gerçekleşmiştir.

1934 yılı, Necip Fazıl Kısakürek için bir dönüm noktasıdır. 1934 yılında bir Nakşi şeyhi olan Abdülhakim Arvasi ile tanışan Kısakürek, Abdülhakim Arvasi ile yaptığı sohbetleri sayesinde ciddi bir fikir ve zihniyet dönüşümü yaşadı ve bu tanışmayı kendisine milat olarak kabul etti.

Bu tanışmanın ardından Necip Fazıl Kısakürek'in şiirlerinde tasavvufi düşüncenin izlerine rastlandı. Aynı zamanda bu tanışmayla birlikte yeni düşünce sisteminin ilk önemli eseri olan "Tohum" adlı tiyatro oyununu yazdı.

1936’da bir kültür–sanat dergisi olan "Ağaç Mecmuası"nı yayınlamaya başlayan Kısakürek, başarı yakaladı ve dergi Ankara'dan sonra İstanbul'da da çıkarılmaya başlandı.

Dergiye Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar, Cahit Sıtkı Tarancı gibi önemli edebiyatçılar katkı sağladı. Bir kısmı İş Bankası tarafından finanse edilen dergi, 16 sayı sürdü.

1937 yılında tamamladığı “Bir Adam Yaratmak” adlı piyesi ilk defa 1937-38 tiyatro sezonunda, İstanbul Şehir Tiyatroları'nda Muhsin Ertuğrul tarafından sahneye kondu ve büyük ilgi yarattı.

Hayatı boyunca birçok esere imza atan Necip Fazıl Kısakürek, 25 Mayıs 1983 tarihinde 78 yaşındayken İstanbul'da hayatını kaybetti.

Primo Michele Levi (Turin, 31 July 1919 - Turin, 11 April 1987) was a writer, partisan and Italian chemist, author of stories, memoirs, poems and novels.

His most famous novel, his debut work, If this is a man, who tells of his terrible experiences in the Nazi extermination camp, is considered a classic of world literature, inserting himself in the vein of autobiographical memorialism and in the so-called neorealism. Graduated in chemistry, in some of his works appear direct and indirect references to this branch of science.

IF IT IS A MAN*

You who live safe
In your warm houses,
You who find, returning in the evening,
Hot food and friendly faces:
Consider if this is a man
Who works in the mud
Who does not know peace
Who fights for a scrap of bread
Who dies because of a yes or a no.
Consider if this is a woman,
Without hair and without name
With no more strength to remember,
Her eyes empty and her womb cold
Like a frog in winter.
Meditate that this came about:
I commend these words to you.
Carve them in your hearts
At home, in the street,
Going to bed, rising;
Repeat them to your children,
Or may your house fall apart,
May illness impede you,
May your children turn their faces from you.
