George Moore

    24. február 1852 – 21. január 1933

    George Augustus Moore bol írsky románopisec, poviedkar, básnik, výtvarný kritik, pamätník a dramatik. Pôvodne sa chcel stať maliarom a v 70. rokoch 19. storočia študoval umenie v Paríži, kde sa spriatelil s poprednými francúzskymi umelcami a spisovateľmi. Ako naturalistický autor absorboval lekcie francúzskych realistov, najmä Émila Zolu, a ovplyvnil Jamesa Joycea. Mooreovo dielo je často považované za prvé veľké moderné írske románové dielo.

      George Augustus Moore, an influential figure in Irish literature, was a multifaceted talent—novelist, poet, and art critic—who initially pursued a career in painting in Paris. His friendships with prominent French artists and writers shaped his naturalistic writing style, making him one of the first English-language authors to embrace French realism, particularly influenced by Émile Zola. While often considered outside the mainstream of Irish and British literature, he is recognized as a pioneering modern Irish novelist, marking his significance in literary history.
