Das Jahr 1797 ist im Schaffen von Goethe und Schiller nicht nur ein überaus produktives Jahr, sondern auch ein Jahr, in dem zu großen Teilen einige ihrer späterhin bekanntesten und meist gelesenen Texte entstehen. Für beide Dichter ist das Nachdenken über diesen Gegenstand von höchster praktischer Bedeutung. Während Goethe das schnell anwachsende Material seiner Faust-Tragödie dramatisch zu verdichten sucht, arbeitet Schiller an seinem Drama «Wallenstein», das über die Monate hin zu monumentaler Größe anschwillt.

The first complete collection of Weil's missives to her family, A Life in Letters offers new insight into her personal relationships and experiences.

Nathanaël, je t'enseignerai la ferveur. Une existence pathétique, Nathanaël, plutôt que la tranquillité. Je ne souhaite pas d'autre repos que celui du sommeil de la mort. J'ai peur que tout désir, toute énergie que je n'aurais pas satisfaits durant ma vie, pour leur survie ne me tourmentent. J'espère, après avoir exprimé sur cette terre tout ce qui attendait en moi, satisfait, mourir complètement désespéré. Que mon livre t'enseigne à t'intéresser plus à toi qu'à lui-même, puis à tout le reste plus qu'à toi.

Иван Алексеевич Бунин первый русский писатель, получивший Нобелевскую премию по литературе. В 1933 году автор Темных аллей и многочисленных рассказов получил мировое признание с формулировкой: "за строгое мастерство, с которым он развивает традиции русской классической прозы". Не секрет, что по резкости своих оценок, не только литературных, но и общечеловеческих, Бунин не знал себе равных. Не удивительно, что многие современники хотя и признавали его литературный талант, но отмечали сложность его характера и считали высокомерным снобом.

В Дневнике писателя, не имеющим аналогов в русской и зарубежной публицистике, Достоевский напрямую общается с читателями и словно приглашает присоединиться к обсуждению глубоких тем, которым посвящено все его творчество: человек и Бог, добро и зло, свобода и судьба России. В заметках 1876 года особое внимание он уделяет анализу мировой политики того времени и духовных болезней русского общества, оказавшемся во многом пророческим. А результатом его размышлений можно считать впервые опубликованную в ноябрьской главе повесть Кроткая, где писатель исследует отношения тирана и жертвы на примере обычной семьи.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832) war ein deutscher Dichter und Naturforscher. Er gilt als einer der bedeutendsten Schöpfer deutschsprachiger Dichtung. Johann Peter Eckermann (1792 - 1854) war ein deutscher Dichter, Schriftsteller und enger Vertrauter Goethes. Der greise Goethe setzte Eckermann gegen eine Gewinnbeteiligung testamentarisch zum Hauptherausgeber seines literarischen Nachlasses ein. Daraus resultierten fünfzehn Nachlassbände, die Eckermann nach Goethes Tod (1832) veröffentlichte.
