Pu Songling was a Qing Dynasty Chinese writer, best known as the author of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio. Wikipedia
Born: June 5, 1640, Zibo, China
Died: February 25, 1715, Zibo, China

Today is the 377th birthday of Qing Dynasty writer Pu Songling, author of STRANGE TALES FROM A CHINESE STUDIO (prh.com/books/299446). A schoolteacher by profession, Pu and his work did not become widely known until well after his death in 1715.
STRANGE TALES FROM A CHINESE STUDIO abounds with stories of the supernatural—demons, animal spirits, couplings between humans and magical creatures. Some are tragic, some humorous, some witty and redemptive, but all are entertaining and surprising.

Sep. 24：Euripides, Horace Walpole, Pablo Neruda

Horatio Walpole, 4th Earl of Orford, also known as Horace Walpole, was an English art historian, man of letters, antiquarian and Whig politician. Wikipedia Born :  September 24, 1717,  London, United Kingdom Died :  March 2, 1797,  Berkeley Square, London, United Kingdom Movies :  Castle of Otranto Parents :  Robert Walpole ,  Catherine, Lady Walpole Quotes The world is a tragedy to those who feel, but a comedy to those who think. The whole secret of life is to be interested in one thing profoundly and in a thousand things well. Justice is rather the activity of truth, than a virtue in itself. Truth tells us what is due to others, and justice renders that due. Injustice is acting a lie. To mark the tercentenary of the birth of Horace Walpole (1717–1797), English author, antiquarian, collector, and politician, the Lewis Walpole Library is sponsoring programs throughout the year to commemorate the occasion.

Yes, they were all one, one and the same force, one and the same idea, and all of them could be comprehended in one single word... The word was — civilization!" —from THE MAGIC MOUNTAIN by  Thomas Mann With rich novel of ideas, Thomas Mann rose to the front
