There are many famous people in our republic. Among them you can find
the names of politicians and public figures, intellectuals and
scientists, heroes of war and labour, sportsmen and artists.
First of all I'd like to mention the name of our outstanding
national writers Yanka Kupala and Yakub Kolas. They created a new
Belarusian Literature and a Belarusian literatury language. Both are
considered to be the classics of Belorusian literature. These names are
followed by a number of other well-known writers and poets, such as K.
Krapiva, Chorny, Brovka, Shamyakin, Tank, Bykov, Korotkevich, Gilevich,
Loyka, Adamovich known both in our country and abroad. Their works are
translated into many European languages.
