His compositions inspired the Beatles, Jefferson Airplane, Tim Burton and others. Lewis Carroll's real name is Charles Lutwidge Dodgson.

Each student chose a tombstone for himself and calculated how many years the deceased lived, subtracting the date of birth from the date of death. It's no surprise that Poe grew up to become what he became - the founder of world horror literature.
unexpected guest
Did you know that in 1857 Hans Christian Andersen came to visit Dickens. Andersen met Dickens back in 1847, they were completely delighted with each other, and now, 10 years later, the Dane decided to take advantage of the invitation given to him. The trouble is that over the years in Dickens' life everything has changed and become more complicated - he was not ready to accept Andersen, and he lived with him for almost five weeks! “He does not speak any languages other than his Danish, although there are suspicions that he does not know it either,” Dickens told his friends about his guest in this vein. Poor Andersen became the target of ridicule from the numerous offspring of the author of Little Dorrit, and when he left, Papa Dickens left a note in his room: “Hans Andersen spent the night in this room for five weeks, which seemed to our family for years.” And you still ask why Andersen wrote such sad tales?

Florence in 1817 he wrote: “When I left the Church of the Holy Cross, my heart began to beat, it seemed to me that the source of life had dried up, I walked, afraid to collapse to the ground ...”. The masterpieces of art that excited the writer can have a similar effect on other people, causing rapid heartbeat and dizziness - this psychosomatic disorder is called Stendhal's syndrome. The person who “hooked” it experiences extremely heightened emotions from contemplating the pictures, as if being transferred to the space of the image. Often the feelings are so strong that people try to destroy works of art. In a broader sense, Stendhal's syndrome can be caused by any observable beauty - for example, nature or women.
