Well, It`s very difficult to say "I would like to meet", but I tell about J.R.R.Tolkien; maybe it`s a little nerd, but I love the books written by him as the trilogy "The lord of the rings" and the books connected with these.
J.R.R. Tolkien was British, a He was born in Orange, Africa, the January 3 of 1892. He was an orphan with 12 years old and he went to live to Birmingham, when he learnt ancient languages and others as Greek, Latin, French, English, Welsh, Finnish and Icelandic. With all this material Tolkien as well as create sounds and new language for his mithology books characters.
He traveled with his 12 friend to Switzerland, trip that was inspiration to write "The Hobbit". In this book, Tolkien created all the world in the Medieval Period and the fight between good and evil. Also new characters appeared from his imagination as, hobbits, elves, men and dwarf.
Then this book, that was a success, the publisher asked for other books, The trilogy "The lord of the ring".
Well, I read almost all the books of Tolkien, I saw the adaptations to the cinema, and I love this world. because for this wrote about Tolkien, for his big imagination, beautiful account and way of narrate the Medieval history through of fiction, and the way entertaining.
