Ivan Turgenev (1818-1883)

Novelist, poet, and playwright, known for his detailed descriptions about the everyday life in Russia in the 19th century. Turgenev portrayed realistically the peasantry and the rising intelligentsia in its attempt to move the country into a new age. Although Turgenev has been overshadowed by his contemporaries Dostoevsky and Tolstoy, he remains one of the major figures of the 19th-century Russian literature.

Brian Friel

Born 9 January 1929, Catholic, in Omagh, County Tyrone in Northern Ireland, Brian  Friel is one of Ireland's most prominent playwrights.  In addition to his published plays, he has written short stories; screenplays; film, TV and Radio adaptations of his plays; and several pieces of non-fiction on the role of theatre and the artist.
