auteurs.net "Le meilleur du web littéraire"
Le site "Edward Lear Home Page" n'est pas recommandé aux grandes personnes, ni aux gens raisonnables : exclusivement consacré aux inepties rimées d'Edward Lear et au non-sens, il risque en effet de faire "grincer" leur entendement. Par contre, ceux qui ne répugnent pas à l'escamotage du bon sens y trouveront largement de quoi satisfaire leur penchant. Marco Graziosi (auteur d'une thèse sur Edward Lear) leur propose une liste de diffusion ainsi qu'une foule d'informations (biographie, bibliographie…) et de documents (portraits, dessins, études…) sur ce peintre et illustrateur anglais qui écrivait des bouts-rimés incongrus (limericks) entre deux esquisses. Même s'ils n'eurent pas la notoriété des ouvrages de Lewis Carroll, ses Books of Nonsense comptent néanmoins parmi les plus beaux fleurons de l'art non-sensique.
[This review of the site had me so excited I could not stop myself... Just for once!]

Manas: Culture, Indian Cinema- Satyajit Ray
Satyajit Ray was born into an illustrious family in Calcutta in 1921. His grandfather, Upendra Kishore Ray-Chaudhary, was a publisher, musician and the creator of children’s literature in Bengali. His father, Sukumar Ray, was a noted satirist and India's first writer of nonsense rhymes, akin to the nonsense verse of Edward Lear.
Does anybody know anything of this Sukumar Ray?

Well, ehm, it really looks like a Lear biography but... it's in Russian! Can anybody confirm?
