Hermman Hesse

Hesse is one of my favorite writter. He was born on July 2, 1877, in the Black Forest town of Wurttemberg in Germany, he bolong to a Christian Missionary family. Hesse's father, Johannes Hesse, was born in 1847 in Estonia, the son of a doctor.In 1880 the family moved to Switzerland. After successful attendance at the Latin School in Goppimgen, Hesse began to attend the Evangelical Theological Seminary in Maulbronn in 1891. Here in March 1892, Hesse showed his rebellious character: he fled from the Seminary and was found in a field a day later.
During this time, Hesse began a journey through various institutions and schools, and experienced intense conflicts with his parents. In May, after an attempt at suicide, he spent time at an institution in Bad Boll. Later he was placed in a mental institution in Basel.


At the end of 1892, he attended the Gymnasium in Cannstatt. In 1893, he passed the One Year Examination, which concluded his schooling.On October 17, 1895, Hesse began working in the bookshop in Tübingen, which had a collection specializing in theology, philology, and law. Hesse's assignment there consisted of organizing, packing, and archiving the books. After the end of each twelve hour workday, his prefered the books rather than friends. . In 1896 his poem 'Madonna' appeared in a Viennese periodical.

Hesse married Maria Bernoulli in 1904, he had three sons, in the First World in 1914, Hesse registered himself as a volunteer, he was assigned to service involving the care of war prisoners.deeper life crisis befell Hesse with the death of his father on March, 1916, the difficult sickness of his son Martin, and his wife's scizophrenia. He was forced to leave his military service and begin receiving psychotherapy. This began for Hesse a long preoccupation with psychoanalysis, through which he came to know Carl Jung personally, and was challenged to new creative heights: During a three-week period during September and October 1917, Hesse penned his novel Damian, which would be published following the armistice in 1919.

Hesse death in 1962, his novels enjoyed a revival of popularity due to their association with some of the themes of the counterculture of the 1660s (or " hippie" movement). In particular, the quest-for-enlightenment theme of Siddhartha, Journey to the East, and Narcissus and Goldmund resonated with countercultural ideals.

Hesse received honorary citizenship from his home city of Calw, and additionally, throughout Germany many schools are named after him. Hesse was born poet, novelist, and painter. In 1946, he received the Nobel Prize in Literature. His best known works include Steppenwolf, Siddharta, and The Glass Bead Game (also known as Magister Ludi) which explore an individual's search for spirituality outside society

In that same year she leave the convent for helping the sickest people in Calcuta in special in slums She though that people need her.

I admire the Mother Teresa for her determination to help people with illness of skin
She was a special woman. The poor people were the first for her, but she had shared frienship with Lady Di, the princess of England,because Diana helped her to collected money, medicines, food around the world to mantain the hospitals for curing the sickers with lepra in India and other poor countries

When the were losing the second world war the Germans closed all the universities and so young Karol had to work in a quarry and in manufactur chemistry to earn a living. This experience has helped him to know the physical fatigue, so with simplicity good sense and the work religious fervor and the poor.

In november of 1946, Karol Wojtlyla priest was ordered to the bigger seminar of Cracovia and he celebrated his first Mass in "San Leonardo" in the Cathedral of wavel.

Dominican Republic

The island of Hispaniola, of which the Dominican Republic forms the eastern two-thirds and Haiti the remainder, was originally occupied by Tainos, an Arawak-speaking people. The Haitians conquered the whole island in 1822 and held it until 1844, when forces led by Juan Pablo Duarte, the hero of Dominican independence, drove them out and established the Dominican Republic as an independent state. The occupation ended in 1924, with a democratically elected Dominican Government.
In 1930, Rafael L. Trujillo, a prominent army commander, established absolute political control. Trujillo promoted economic development--from which he and his supporters benefited--and severe repression of domestic human rights. Mismanagement and corruption resulted in major economic problems. In August 1960, the Organization of American States (OAS) imposed diplomatic sanctions against the Dominican Republic as a result of Trujillo's complicity in an attempt to assassinate President Romulo Betancourt of Venezuela. OAS sanctions were lifted January 4, and, after the resignation of President Joaquin Balaguer on January 16, the council under President Rafael E. Bonnelly headed the Dominican government.
In 1963, Juan Bosch was inaugurated President. Bosch was overthrown in a military coup in September 1963. Another military coup, on April 24, 1965, led to violence between military elements favoring the return to government by Bosch and those who proposed a military junta committed to early general elections. In June 1966, President Balaguer, leader of the Reformist Party (now called the Social Christian Reformist Party--PRSC), was elected and then re-elected to office in May 1970 and May 1974, both times after the major opposition parties withdrew late in the campaign. The PRD's presidential candidate, Salvador Jorge Blanco, won the 1982 elections, and the PRD gained a majority in both houses of Congress. Balaguer was returned to the presidency with electoral victories in 1986 and 1990. In 1990, Balaguer instituted a second set of economic reforms. After concluding an IMF agreement, balancing the budget, and curtailing inflation, the Dominican Republic experienced a period of economic growth marked by moderate inflation, a balance in external accounts, and a steadily increasing GDP that lasted through 2000.
Following a compromise calling for constitutional and electoral reform, President Balaguer assumed office for an abbreviated term.
In June 1996, Leonel Fernandez Reyna was elected to a 4-year term as president. On May 16, 2000, Hipolito Mejia, the Revolutionary Democratic Party candidate, was elected president in another free and fair election. He defeated Dominican Liberation Party candidate Danilo Medina 49.8% to 24.84%. Former President Balaguer garnered 24.68% of the vote. Mejia entered office on August 16 with four priorities: education reform, economic development, increased agricultural production, and poverty alleviation. The government is also in consultation with the United States on launching free trade negotiations.
