A propos de l'auteur
Valeri Petrov, the pen name used by Valeri Nissim Mevorah, was born on April 22, 1920 in Sofia, Bulgaria. He graduated with a degree in medicine from Sofia University in 1944. During World War II, he took part in the resistance against the pro-Nazi regime in Bulgaria and remained close to left-wing afficher plus political thought throughout his life. He wrote poems, novels, film scripts, and plays. He also did translations from Russian, Italian, and English, including the complete works of William Shakespeare. In 1970, he clashed with the communist regime in Bulgaria after refusing to sign an official petition denouncing the awarding of the Nobel Prize to Soviet dissident Alexander Solzhenitsyn. As a result, he was not allowed to publish for years, so he turned to translating. He died following a stroke on August 27, 2014 at the age of 94. (Bowker Author Biography) afficher moins
