Ada Negri was an Italian poet. She was born in 1870 and died in 1945. Her first book of verses, 'Fatalita/Destiny', was published in 1892 and her success was rapid. Her early poetry was that of an authentic daughter of the people, and was filled with a sense of revolt. The later work lost some of its spontaneity and became more classical in form although her themes were still humanitarian and feminist. Among her books of poems are 'Tempeste' published in 1895, 'Maternita' published in 1904, 'Esilio' published in 1914, 'Il libro di Mara' published in 1919, 'I canti dell'isola' published in 1925, and 'Vespertina' published in 1931. In the novel 'Stella Mattutina' published in 1921 she gave a lyrical description in poetic prose of her childhood.

Vladimir Nabokov was a Russian-born American author. He was born in 1899 and died in 1977. Brought up in St Petersburg, he left Russia in 1919 and later lived in Berlin and Paris, writing fiction in Russian under the name V. Sirin. His first novel in English, 'The Real Life of Sebastian Knight', appeared in 1939, and in the following year he emigrated to the USA. His witty, ingenious, stylised, and erudite novels include 'Lolita' published in 1955, a farcical and satirical novel of the passion of a middle-aged sophisticated European emigre for a 12-year-old American nymphet; 'Pale Fire' published in 1962, a satirical fantasy encounter between poet and madman; and 'Ada or Ardor' published in 1969, a witty parody of a family chronicle. ' Conclusive Evidence' published in 1951 revised as 'Speak, Memory' in 1966 is a brilliant poetic autobiography.

Pascal is an Algol-descended computer programming language designed by Niklaus Wirth on the CDC 6600 around 1967 as an instructional tool for elementary programming. The language, designed primarily to keep students from shooting themselves in the foot and thus extremely restrictive from a general- purpose-programming point of view, was later promoted as a general-purpose tool and, in fact, became the ancestor of a large family of languages including Modula-2 and Ada.
