Il grandit à Jemappes (Mons) et vit actuellement à Uccle en Région de Bruxelles-Capitale En 1960, Il participe à un concours de Radio Luxembourg, et remporte la finale à Paris.

Jacques Brel a dit de lui qu'il était un « tendre jardinier de l'amour » et Raymond Devos « Adamo... c'est chanson, c'est poèmes, c'est vibrations ! » Son succès est international ; il chantera ses chansons en de nombreuses langues (italien, espagnol, allemand, néerlandais, japonais, portugais, turc). Son succès au Japon s'explique par le fait que la structure musicale de sa chanson Tombe la neige, un refrain de cinq syllabes, correspond à une forme traditionnelle de la chanson japonaise (Haïku). Les Japonais se sont donc approprié cette chanson et parfois la revendiquent eux-mêmes comme appartenant à leur patrimoine selon une anecdote rapportée...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Excerpt: Gela - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The city was founded around 688 BC by colonists from Rhodos (Rhodes) and Crete, 45 years after the founding of Syracuse. The city was named after the river Gela. The Greeks had many colonies in the south of what is now Italy, and for many centuries the Greeks had a major influence on the area. Gela flourished and, after only a century, a group of Geloi founded the colony of Agrigento. The expansion, however, led to economic and social strains, which led the plebs to leave the city and settle in nearby Maktorion. However, the revolt was opposed by the great priest of Diana and the exiled plebs returned to Gela. For over a century no further mention is made about the internal politics of the city, until the ancient historians note that a tyrant, Cleander, ruled Gela between 505 BC and 498 BC. After his death, power transferred to his brother Hippocrates, who conquered Callipoli, Leontini, Naxos, Hergetios and Zancles, the current Messina. Only Syracuse, with the help of her former colonizing city, Corinth and Corcyra, managed to escape the Gelese expansion. When Camarina, a Syracusan colony, rebelled in 492 BC, Hippocrates intervened to wage war against Syracuse. After having defeated the Syracusan army at the Heloros river, he besieged the city. However, in the end he was convinced to retreat in exchange for the possession of Camarina. The tyrant lost his life in 491 in a battle against the Siculi, the native Sicilian people. Hippocrates was succeeded by Gelo, who, in 484, conquered Syracuse and moved his seat of government... More: http://booksllc.net/?id=1033564 ... Read more

Chapters: Ancient Geloans, Hiero I of Syracuse, Salvatore Quasimodo, Vincenzo Camilleri, Archestratus, Salvatore Aldisio, Hippocrates of Gela, Daniele Emmanuello, Cleander of Gela, Polyzalus. Excerpt: Gelo (or Gelon, d. 478 BC, Greek: ; gen: ), son of Deinomenes, was a 5th century BC ruler of Gela and Syracuse and first of the Deinomenid rulers. Gelo was the son of Deinomenes, a Sicilian tyrant king of Gela who was best known for conquering Catania on the east coast of Sicily. The historian Herodotus writes that his ancestors came from the island of Telos in the Aegean Sea and were the founders of the city of Gela in southern Sicily. One of his relatives, Telines, was said to have reconciled his people after a period of civil strife through the divine rites of the Earth Goddesses, and all his descendents continued a tradition of priesthood in the cult of these goddesses, which included Demeter. Gelo was in all likelihood a priest of this cult. His three brothers were Hieron, Thrasybulus, and Polyzelos. Deinomenes consulted an oracle about the fates of his children, and was told that Gelo, Hieron and Thrasybulus were all destined to become tyrants. Gelo fought in a number of the conflicts between the various tyrant kings of Sicily and earned a reputation as a formidable soldier. His performance was so impressive that he was promoted to be commander of the cavalry for Hippocrates, tyrant of Gela. From this position he played a key role in a number of battles, including one against Syracuse, a city which he himself would later conquer. But it was not until Hippocrates was killed in a battle with the native Sicel tribe of Sicily at Hybla that Gelos rise to power began. Upon Hippocrates death his sons retained the throne, but the common people were tired o... More: http://booksllc.net/?id=160190 ... Read more

Extrait : Giosuè Alessandro Michele Carducci est un poète italien né à Valdicastello, un hameau de Pietrasanta, le 27 juillet 1835, et décédé à Bologne le 16 février 1907. Il fut le premier Italien à recevoir le Prix Nobel de littérature, en 1906. Il écrivit ses premières pièces en vers à l'âge de 13 ans avant de devenir un écrivain qui influencera profondément la vie intellectuelle de l'Italie du siècle. Son œuvre la plus connue est Odes Barbares, publiée en 1882. En 1906, malade et faible, il ne put se déplacer pour recevoir le prix Nobel. Il mourut l'année suivante. Il naît en 1835 à Valdicastello, un hameau de Pietrasanta dans la Versilia en Toscane, de Michele et Ildegonda Celli. La famille déménage à Bolgheri, hameau de Castagneto dans le Maremme en 1839, où le père, impliqué dans les grèves des carbonari de 1831, exerçait le métier de médecin. C'est dans ce pays, souvent évoqué dans sa poésie, que le jeune Carducci passe une enfance tranquille. Carducci entreprend ses premières lectures à Bolgheri sous l'égide de son père, homme doté d'une bonne culture classique. En 1849 la famille s'installe à Florence, où le jeune Giosuè complète ses études chez les Scolopi, acquérant une bonne base en littérature et en rhétorique. En 1853, après avoir passé le concours, il s'inscrit à la faculté des lettres de l'École normale supérie...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Excerpt: Salvatore Quasimodo (August 20, 1901 - June 14, 1968) was an Italian author. In 1959, he won the Nobel Prize for Literature "for his lyrical poetry, which with classical fire expresses the tragic experience of life in our own times." Along with Giuseppe Ungaretti and Eugenio Montale, he is one of the foremost Italian poets of the 20th century. Quasimodo was born in Modica, Sicily. In 1908 his family moved to Messina, as his father had been sent there to help the population struck by a devastating earthquake. The impressions of the effects of natural forces would have a great impact on the young Quasimodo. In 1919 he graduated from the local Technical College. In Messina he also made friends with Giorgio La Pira, future mayor of Florence. In 1917 Quasimodo founded the short-lived Nuovo giornale letterario ("New Literary Journal"), in which he published his first poems. In 1919 he moved to Rome to finish his engineering studies, but poor economic conditions forced him to find a work as a technical draughtsman. In the meantime he collaborated with several reviews and studied Greek and Latin. In 1929, invited by Elio Vittorini, who had married Quasimodo's sister, he moved to Florence. Here he met poets such as Alessandro Bonsanti and Eugenio Montale. In 1930 he took a job with Italy's Civil Engineering Corps in Reggio Calabria. Here he met the Misefari brothers, who encouraged him to continue writing. Developing his nearness to the hermetism movement, Quasimodo published his first collection, Acque e terre ("Waters and Earths")...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=9110750 ... Read more
