Re: Writers in Exile
Oh yes absolutely.
Karl Marx
**Niccolò Machiavelli **
John Locke
**Jean Jacques Rousseau **
Some of the best literary figures in West produced their greatest work in exile. Victor Hugo, Lord Byron, D.H. Lawrence and T.S Eliot, just to name a few.
Exile in many ways was freedom! In the time of when public beheading was a common practice in Western world, many political prisoners prayed for exile.
