Source: Wikipedia Russell, Bertrand 1872 1970 en 4 8857 Bertrand Arthur William Russell, 3rd Earl Russell, OM, FRS (18 May 1872 – 2 February 1970), was a British philosopher, logician, mathematician, historian, religious sceptic, social reformer, socialist and pacifist. Although he spent the majority of his life in England, he was born in Wales, where he also died. Russell led the British "revolt against idealism" in the early 1900s and is considered one of the founders of analytic philosophy along with his protégé Wittgenstein and his elder Frege. He co-authored, with A. N. Whitehead, Principia Mathematica, an attempt to ground mathematics on logic. His philosophical essay "On Denoting" has been considered a "paradigm of philosophy." Both works have had a considerable influence on logic, mathematics, set theory, linguistics and analytic philosophy. He was a prominent anti-war activist, championing free trade between nations and anti-imperialism. Russell was imprisoned for his pacifist activism during World War I, campaigned against Adolf Hitler, for nuclear disarmament, criticised Soviet totalitarianism and the United States of America's involvement in the Vietnam War. In 1950, Russell was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, "in recognition of his varied and significant writings in which he champions humanitarian ideals and freedom of thought."

Two of his stories were included in an American world-anthology of detective stories. Some of his works were translated into French and German.

Baroja cultivó preferentemente el género narrativo, pero se acercó también con frecuencia al ensayo y más ocasionalmente al teatro, la lírica (Canciones del suburbio) y la biografía. El propio autor agrupó sus novelas, un poco arbitrariamente, en nueve trilogías y una tetralogía, aunque es difícil distinguir qué elementos pueden tener en común: Tierra vasca, La lucha por la vida, El pasado, El mar, La raza, Las ciudades, Agonías de nuestro tiempo, La selva oscura, La juventud perdida y La vida fantástica. http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/P%C3%ADo_Baroja O'Donnell, Elliott 1872 1965 en 1 1553 Elliott O'Donnell (February 27, 1872 - May 8, 1965) was an Irish author known primarily for his books about ghosts.
