Antoine de Saint-Exupery (1900-1944) was born in Lyons, France. He wrote The Little Prince in the United States during a two-year self-imposed exile from occupied France.A year after the book's publication in 1943, Saint-Exupery disappeared over the Mediterranean while flying a reconnaissance mission for his French air squadron. Best known throughout the world as the author and illustrator of The Little Prince, Saint-Exupery wrote several other books that have also become classics of world literature. Katherine Woods (1886-1968) produced the original English translation of The Little Prince in 1943.It was later followed by several other English translations, but her classic translation is treasured by fans and is often considered to be the definitive English translation. Her poetic translation perfectly captures the enchantment and charm of Saint-Exupery's storytelling.

Sto rokov samoty
V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný. Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka Macondo.
