Amos Oz was an Israeli writer, novelist, journalist, and intellectual. He was also a professor of Hebrew literature at the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. From 1967 onwards, Oz was a prominent advocate of a two-state solution to the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. He was the author of 40 books, including novels, short story collections, children's books, and essays, and his work has been published in 45 languages, more than any other Israeli writer.&nbsp;
He received many honors and awards, including the Friedenspreis des Deutschen Buchhandels, the Legion of Honour of France, the Israel Prize, the Goethe Prize, the Prince of Asturias Award in Literature, the Heinrich Heine Prize, and the Franz Kafka Prize. Oz is regarded as one of "Israel's most prolific writers and respected intellectuals," as The New York Times worded it in an obituary.
Oz published his first book, Where the Jackals Howl, a collection of short stories, in 1965. His first novel, Another Place (published in the U.S. as Elsewhere, Perhaps), appeared in 1966. Subsequently, Oz averaged a book per year with the Histadrut press Am Oved. In 1988, Oz left Am Oved for the Keter Publishing House [de], which offered him an exclusive contract that granted him a fixed monthly salary regardless of output.&nbsp;
Oz became a primary figure in the Israeli "New Wave" movement in literature in the 1960s, a group that included A. B. Yehoshua, Amalia Kahana-Carmon, and Aharon Appelfeld. Oz published 40 books, among them 14 novels, five collections of stories and novellas, two children's books, and twelve books of articles and essays (as well as eight selections of essays that appeared in various languages), and about 450 articles and essays.&nbsp;
His works have been translated into 45 languages, more than any other Israeli writer. In 2007, a selection from the Chinese translation of A Tale of Love and Darkness was the first work of modern Hebrew literature to appear in an official Chinese textbook. The story "Esperanto" from the collection Between Friends was translated into Esperanto in 2015. Oz's political commentary and literary criticism have been published in the Histadrut newspaper Davar and Yedioth Ahronoth.&nbsp;
Translations of his essays have appeared in the New York Review of Books. The Ben-Gurion University of the Negev maintains an archive of his work. Oz tended to present protagonists in a realistic light with an ironic touch, while a somewhat critical tone accompanied his treatment of life in the kibbutz. Oz credited a 1959 translation of American writer Sherwood Anderson's short story collection Winesburg, Ohio, with his decision to "write about what was around me."&nbsp;
In A Tale of Love and Darkness, his memoir of coming of age in the midst of Israel's violent birth pangs, Oz credited Anderson's "modest book" with his own realization that "the written word... always revolves around the hand that is writing, wherever it happens to be writing: where you are in the center of the universe." In his 2004 essay "How to Cure a Fanatic" (later the title essay of a 2006 collection), Oz argues that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is not a war of religion or cultures or traditions but rather a real estate dispute – one that will be resolved not by greater understanding, but by painful compromise.

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry was a French writer, aviator, poet, and author. Raised in an aristocratic family, he fell in love with aviation at an early age after taking his first airplane ride at the age of 12. He received his pilot’s wings during his compulsory military service in 1922, around which time he also began to write. His adventures as a pilot would supply the inspiration for all of his literary endeavors, which culminated with the 1943 publication of the classic The Little Prince.&nbsp;
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry was born into an aristocratic family in Lyon, France, on June 29, 1900. His father died when he was a young boy, and his mother moved him and his four siblings to a relative’s château in the east. Saint-Exupéry enjoyed a mostly carefree and privileged life, and in 1912, he took his first trip in an airplane—an experience that would have a profound and lasting impression on him.
Receiving his early education at Catholic schools in France, Saint-Exupéry was sent away to a boarding school in Switzerland after the outbreak of World War I. He returned to France in 1917 and briefly attended a college prep school in Paris before attempting to enter the naval academy. However, a historically poor student, Saint-Exupéry failed the examination and studied architecture at the École des Beaux-Arts instead.

Ernest Hemingway was born in 1899. His father was a doctor, and he was the second of six children. Their home was in Oak Park, a Chicago suburb.&nbsp;
In 1917, Hemingway joined the Kansas City Star as a cub reporter. The following year, he volunteered as an ambulance driver on the Italian front, where he was badly wounded but decorated for his services. He returned to America in 1919 and married in 1921. In 1922, he reported on the Greco-Turkish war before resigning from journalism to devote himself to fiction. He settled in Paris, where he renewed his earlier friendships with such fellow-American expatriates as Ezra Pound and Gertrude Stein. Their encouragement and criticism were to play a valuable part in the formation of his style.
Hemingway's first two published works were Three Stories and Ten Poems and In Our Time, but it was the satirical novel, The Torrents of Spring that established his name more widely. His international reputation was firmly secured by his next three books; Fiesta, Men Without Women, and A Farewell to Arms.
He was passionately involved with bullfighting, big-game hunting, and deep-sea fishing and his writing reflected this. He visited Spain during the Civil War and described his experiences in the bestseller, For Whom the Bell Tolls.
His direct and deceptively simple style of writing spawned generations of imitators but no equals. Recognition of his position in contemporary literature came in 1954 when he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature following the publication of The Old Man and the Sea. He died in 1961.

Hunter S. Thompson showed a knack for writing at a young age, and after high school began his career in journalism while serving in the United States Air Force. Following his military service, Thompson traveled the country to cover a wide array of topics for numerous magazines and developed an immersive, highly personal style of reporting that would become known as “Gonzo Journalism.”&nbsp;
He would employ the style in the 1972 book for which he is best known, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, which was an instant and lasting success. For the remainder of his life, Thompson’s hard-driving lifestyle — which included the steady use of illicit drugs and an ongoing love affair with firearms — and his relentlessly antiauthoritarian work made him a perpetual counterculture icon.&nbsp;
However, his fondness for substances also contributed to several bouts of poor health, and in 2005 Thompson committed suicide at the age of 67.&nbsp;
With the proceeds from Hell’s Angels, in 1967, Thompson bought a compound on the outskirts of Aspen, Colorado — which he named Owl Creek — and moved there with his wife, Sandy Conklin, whom he had married in 1963, and their son, Juan, who was born in 1964.&nbsp;
But despite these seemingly domestic trappings, Thompson was anything but settled down. He constantly traveled on assignments for a wide array of magazines, covering topics such as the hippie movement, the Vietnam War, and the 1968 presidential campaigns, all in his now characteristically irreverent style.
Among the best known and important of these pieces was “The Kentucky Derby Is Decadent and Depraved," a rambling, willingly subjective account of the Derby that was more the experience of watching it than it was about the race itself. Published in the June 1970 edition of Scanlan’s Monthly, and with illustrations by British artist Ralph Steadman, it was hailed as a breakthrough in journalism and is considered the first-ever example of what is now known as “Gonzo Journalism.”
