"100 Quotes by Jules Renard" uncovers the famous French author and member of the literary organisation, Académie Goncourt. Famous for his poems, plays and short stories, his work spans the famous "Poil de carotte". The English novelist Julian Barnes' 2008 memoir "Nothing to be Frightened Of" remains a proud homage to Renard, indicative of his continuous influence. His thoughts and musings transcend the page and can be found around the world, on road signs, as well as in books.

"100 Quotes by Honoré de Balzac" is a collection of writings and thoughts from the French novelist and playwright, Honoré de Balzac. Balzac was known to frequently flit between several "work in progress" writings, and his finished articles were often revised between editions. The way that Balzac wrote is very much reflective of the difficulties in his own life, and perhaps the writer was attempting to stabilise his life through fiction.

Uncover the wisdom from the master of short-form himself, Guy de Maupassant, in this collection of carefully selected quotes. French author and representative of the literary movement "Naturalism", Maupassant’s short stories weave expert observation and reflection with deep social insight. Typically set during the Franco-Prussian war of 1870, he focused on human lives and their fateful destinies. His first published story, "Boule de Suif", remains his most celebrated work today.

100 Quotes by Anne Frank is a poignant collection of thoughts and observations from the world’s most famous diarist. Touching, observational, and often funny, these quotes create a collage of a teenager whose world had been turned upside down. One of the most important documentarians of the Second World War, Frank’s views and feelings are both timeless and aligned with a darker chapter in humanity’s history. A fascinating and thought-provoking read, it's a great addition to any library.

"100 Quotes by Edmond and Jules de Goncourt" is a collection of reflections and thoughts by the literary world’s most unexpected collaborators. Touching on everything from religion and the nature of the self to history and poetry, the brothers’ ideas are strikingly similar and timelessly resonant. An ideal book for dipping in and out of, these quotes will provide any reader with food for thought and the tools with which to spark an interesting conversation.

"100 Quotes by Marcel Proust" is a compendium of thoughts, observations, and reflections by one of France’s greatest writers. Pithy, witty, barbed, but often touching and thoughtful, readers will discover another dimension to this noted novelist, most famous for his novel "In Search of Lost Time". His philosophy mainly focused on how people should be appreciative of their circumstances. A superb book for dipping in and out of, this will make a welcome addition to any book collection.

Wie viele Literatenhäuser stellt Lawrences Refugium "Clouds Hill" im südenglischen Bovington ein Abbild seiner Seele dar. Die einstige Bauernkate ist äußerst schlicht eingerichtet, aber die Bibliothek und Schallplattensammlung zeugen von dem intellektuellen Universum, das Lawrence war: Homer, Dante, Cervantes, Mozart, Beethoven und Elgar. Dann in einer Ecke rostige Fragmente von Schienen. Es sind Reliquien der Hedschasbahn von Aleppo nach Medina – Erinnerungen an seinen Guerillakrieg in der Wüste gegen die Türken. Lawrences militärische Karriere ist außergewöhnlich.

Die Sehnsucht nach der großen Bühne, harte Arbeit, erste Erfolge, bittere Niederlagen, Comebacks und der Weg nach ganz oben: Vanessa Mai legt beeindruckend ehrlich ihre ganze Geschichte offen und zeigt, warum es sich lohnt, für die eigenen Träume zu kämpfen. Musik und Tanz als Lebenselixier – aber wie können Träume Wirklichkeit werden? Der lange Weg zum Ruhm und was es braucht, um Widerstände zu überwinden. Ein Leben im Scheinwerferlicht und wie Vanessa Mai es schafft, sich treu zu bleiben.

"100 Quotes by Woody Allen" is a compendium of thoughts, sayings, and one-liners from the mind of a man who has worked as a scriptwriter, stand-up comic, actor, and author. Often pithy and shot through with his trademark neurosis, this is a fantastic read for anyone with an interest in comedy and film. An ideal book for dipping in and out of, and one that would be a welcome addition to any library. Heywood ‘Woody’ Allen (1935 – present day) was born Allan Stewart Konigsberg in New York. Allen’s career as a comedy writer began when he was 15 years old.

"100 Quotes by Adam Smith" is a selection of thoughts and observations from one of the finest philosophical minds of the 18th century. Smith’s views on religion, morality, and human nature are presented front and centre. However, he wasn’t short of a few witticisms, and there are plenty of one-liners worth committing to memory. A superb book for leisurely browsing, this is a welcome addition to any book collection. Born in Kirkcaldy, Adam Smith (1723–1790) became known as one of the most important philosophers and political economists of the 18th century.

The Isle of Wight: in the summers of the 1800s, Queen Victoria holidayed here. At music festivals in the summer of love, hundreds of thousands of people got stoned here. And, in the summer of 2020, Hunter and Claire escaped locked-down North London for a week's holiday here. They fell in love with its sleepy charm – and ended up buying a Grade 2-listed home in the elegant Victorian seaside resort of Ryde. "Love in Old Age" tells the story of their first year on the island. It is a journey of discovery in a forgotten corner of England.

"Apart from herpes and Lulu – everything is eventually swept away." Just one shimmering pearl of wisdom from pop-star and polymath James Maker, whose worldly observations will (like herpes) once again be on everyone’s lips thanks to his award-winning memoir, remastered with new chapters. If you hadn’t heard of rock bands Raymonde or RPLA – fronted by James in the 80s and 90s – you might be forgiven for mistaking AutoFellatio for fiction. But here fact is more fantastical than any novel. We follow our hero from Bermondsey enfant-terrible to Valencian grande dame...

Dans ce récit autobiographique, retrouvez la descente aux enfers d'une jeune femme, sensible, différente des autres : ce sont les confessions d'une jeune femme violée et traquée. Née en mars 1993, Delphine, de son nom de plume Pythna, est une jeune femme dotée d'une sensibilité à fleur de peau. Elle utilise l'écriture et la peinture comme exutoires. Elle aime peindre des tableaux que nous pourrions dire spirituels et symboliques.

Je m'appelle Delphine. J'ai 28 ans, Depuis plusieurs années, je vis au rythme de mes phobies. Diagnostiquée schizophrène, l'écriture est mon principal exutoire. Aujourd'hui, je te livre ce journal sombre, reflet de mes pensées, écrit pour toi... Née en mars 1993, Delphine, de son nom de plume Pythna, est une jeune femme dotée d'une sensibilité à fleur de peau. Elle utilise l'écriture et la peinture comme exutoires. Elle aime peindre des tableaux que nous pourrions dire spirituels et symboliques.

L'affaire Dreyfus (1894-1906), du nom de cet officier juif alsacien accusé d'espionnage au profit de l'Allemagne, est toujours présente dans nos mémoires. Elle resurgit, au gré de l'actualité, comme une référence historique essentielle. Mais qui était au juste le capitaine Dreyfus ? Y a-t-il eu plusieurs affaires plutôt qu'une ? Le J'accuse... ! de Zola en offre-t-il un récit exhaustif ? Et l'écrivain a-t-il été assassiné ? Quels ont été les rôles réels des militaires Picquart et Esterhazy, du politique Clemenceau et de l'écrivain Péguy ?

"Ein Taxi ist so teuer und ich zahle doch auch Krankenkassenbeiträge." Oder "Wenn Sie mich mitnehmen, komme ich ja schneller dran!" Solche Sätze hört Luis Teichmann oft. Er fährt seit sieben Jahren im Rettungsdienst und Bagatelleinsätze sind hier nicht die einzige Herausforderung: Nachtschichten, körperlich schwere Arbeit, gewalttätige Übergriffe und die psychische Belastung rücken seinen Job aus der Komfortzone. Da ist zum Beispiel der stadtbekannte Mann, der bis zu viermal am Tag die 112 wählt, an 365 Tagen im Jahr – und jedes einzige Mal muss ein RTW ausrücken.

Ispirandosi alla vicenda già narrata in "Thomas Griffiths Wainewright ovvero, Janus Weathercock, l'avvelenatore", Dickens ci porta a contatto con la spietata realtà di una mente criminale, raccontandoci l'episodio di un agente assicurativo intento ad aiutare un altro personaggio - dai contorni misteriosi - a salvare la ragazza che ama dalle grinfie di un truffatore. Pubblicato originariamente sotto forma di articolo, il resoconto mette in luce gli aspetti più inquietanti dell'Inghilterra vittoriana.

Nel 1850 Charles Dickens firma ben tre articoli riguardanti la vita e il lavoro del detective (figura nuovissima, a quei tempi, risalendo la creazione del Detective Branch di Londra a solamente otto anni prima). In quell'anno, alcuni fra i maggiori investigatori inglesi accettano di incontrarsi nella redazione di Household Words, la rivista diretta dallo stesso Dickens, per rispondere alle sue domande. Fra loro, immancabilmente, anche il grande Charles Frederick Field (1805-1874), amico personale dello scrittore.

Ecco a voi un brillante resoconto fatto da Charles Dickens sul controverso personaggio di Thomas Griffiths Wainewright, pittore londinese noto a tutti per la sua vita dissoluta... Wainewright - il cui spirito da dandy verrà descritto anche da altri grandi scrittori, come Oscar Wilde - è il protagonista di un caso giudiziario eclatante, consumatosi negli anni '30 dell'Ottocento. Accusato di aver avvelenato la cognata, la suocera e uno zio, verrà incarcerato solo in seguito ad un'accusa di frode bancaria (per la quale sarà deportato nella colonia penale di Hobart, in Tasmania).
