Peter Handke
Peter Handke (; born 6 December 1942) is an Austrian novelist, playwright, translator, poet, film director, and screenwriter. He was awarded the 2019 Nobel Prize in Literature "for an influential work that with linguistic ingenuity has explored the periphery and the specificity of human experience." Handke is considered to be one of the most influential and original German-language writers in the second half of the 20th century. In the late 1960s, he earned his reputation as a member of the avant-garde with such plays as ''Offending the Audience'' (1966) in which actors analyze the nature of theatre and alternately insult the audience and praise its "performance", and ''Kaspar'' (1967). His novels, mostly ultraobjective, deadpan accounts of characters in extreme states of mind, include ''The Goalie's Anxiety at the Penalty Kick'' (1970) and ''The Left-Handed Woman'' (1976). Prompted by his mother's suicide in 1971, he reflected her life in the novella ''A Sorrow Beyond Dreams'' (1 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Hypertext documents are interconnected by hyperlinks, which are typically activated by a mouse click, keypress set, or screen touch. Apart from text, the term "hypertext" is also sometimes used to describe tables, images, and other presentational content formats with integrated hyperlinks. Hypertext is one of the key underlying concepts of the World Wide Web, where Web pages are often written in the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). As implemented on the Web, hypertext enables the easy-to-use publication of information over the Internet. Etymology The English prefix "hyper-" comes from the Greek prefix "ὑπερ-" and means "over" or "beyond"; it has a common origin with the prefix "super-" which comes from Latin. It signifies the overcoming of the previous linear constraints of written text. The term "hype ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
