Jane Austen was one of the most wellknown women writers of the world. She was born in England in 1775. Jane loved reading and writing. She wrote a number of famous novels in her life. Among them, Pride and Prejudice written in 1779 was the most popular. Victor Hugo, born in 1802 in France, was one of the best writers in the19th century. The talent in writing and hard work brought great success to Hugo at an early age. His most popular novel, the Hunchback of Notre-
Dame, was written in 1831. The book was so successful that it was quickly translated into many other languages across Europe. Ernest Hemingway, an outstanding American writer and reporter, was born in 1899. His life experience had a great influence on his writing style.
