Tom Stoppard was born Tomás Stäuss Stäusler on July 3, 1937 in Slin (Czechoslovakia).When he came from that origin, his family was forced into exile due to the persecution of the Nazis.At that time he was educated in Singapore and India.His father drowned in Majataba concentration camp while trying to escape from the Japanese army.After the Second World War, he stayed forever, he settled permanently in Bristol, England in 1946 and his mother married an army last name.I think the new Tom could be called Hamlet.
He began his professional career linked to the "Fourth Estate."In 1954 - just old - he started working as a journalist in Bristol, especially in the western daily newspaper.Later he would join the Belistol Worlity Dorth.Only in 1960 did he become a financial twenty - at the age of twenty-four, and he launched himself into his extraordinary role.
In 1962, young Stoppard arrived in London.He worked there as a theater critic for the weekly "Scène".Shortly afterwards, in the spring of 1963, these media went bankrupt, but the journalist of Czech origin continued his journey.A few months later, Stoppard was recognized as one of the writers of the moment and his short stories were published in an anthology.Thanks to a several-month scholarship from the Ford Foundation in Berlin in 1964, Stoppard established contact with English, German and American authors.
In the year in 1967 Rensizzz and Grestzz, and maybe it was done at the National Theater Company and won four awards, including the best play. The author has the ability to enter two characters from Hamas, called Sha Xpir, to focus here.He himself took it to the cinema in 1990. That's when he made a movie. Entering Shakespeare is always dangerous, but stopping to come out well.If the tragedy of the coachman's death has meaning, the deaths of his two friends do not.They are important to the game.
In 1977, he was impressed by his visit to Czechoslovakia and decided to participate in the defense of human rights.In 477, when writers, writers, writers, artists fell, when I stood up, I realized that they were published by each other, with a certain risk, and they published first, they paid a lot of attention, they paid intense attention and people noticed it. Literary staff turnover In 1990, suddenly there were hundreds of new literary magazines and it was difficult to attract anyone's attention. It reminded me that I took history back.
After five years Stockpard released one of his most interesting works, something real, because there is a vulnerable place where we meet the contradictions of the world.It is a work with aquatic elements, playing between reality and the fiction of metaphor.
Dreateppard earned an Oscar nomination in 1985 for the screenplay Brazil, written with Terry Ginlym.He also wrote the screenplay for Empire of the Sun, directed by Steven Spielberg, and others such as Russia's Gift at Home, a novel by John Le Cart set in the Soviet Union.Perhaps because of his own experience, Steppard disagreed with the marxist ideas of many of the works of his generation.
His Shakespearean performances are not always successful. Rempard is also the author of Shakespeare in love. John Madden won an Oscar. I actually don't know what to say about this movie.There is no historical violence.Seeing Rupert Everett's heart pounding as poor Christopher Marlala is what gave me the strength to take charge.
Stoppard also translated texts by Polish and Czech authors such as Artur Schnitzler, Słowomir Mrozek and Johann Nestroy.The Theater of the Absurd influenced his later works."I try to write the works I want to see, the works I want to write," he said.
Leopoldstadt, inspired by his own family, is his last work, showing the story of a Jewish family from 1899 to 1955.These characters are fans of various cultural events in Vienna.Their fate would be tragically marked by the arrival of the Nazis and the Holocaust.Many members of Stoppard's family died in concentration camps, including four of his grandparents."I think all the works I've written come from many places at once. I think that's what it means to me. They're not single-minded works, they're joined by others. Aged 88, at his home in Dorset, England, surrounded by his family.
