La carta más famosa del siglo xx jamás llegó a su destinatario. Ni siquiera fue enviada. La escribió Franz Kafka de un tirón entre el 4 y el 20 de noviembre de 1919, y está dirigida a su padre, Hermann Kafka, comerciante judío en la ciudad de Praga. Escrita en un estilo que su propio autor calificó «de abogado», la carta es un memorial de las relaciones que había mantenido con su padre desde su nacimiento.

"18 janvier 1895 : Un bon mot vaut mieux qu'un mauvais livre." Le Journal intime de Jules Renard s'étend de 1887 à sa mort en 1910. Plus qu'une confession, il s'agit de dialogues pris sur le vif et de maximes, souvent piquantes, sur des personnes de son entourage et plus largement à propos de traits de caractère ou de faits de société. Jules Renard note également ses réflexions sur l'écriture et la réception critique de la littérature.

Des histoires sur un passé pas très lointain qui pourrait s'identifier à la réalité d'aujourd'hui, le présent non revu journalistiquement, des gens qui n'ont pas de représentations publiques communes, trop occupés en un sens pour penser à ce qu'ils n'ont jamais été supprimée afin de ne pas signifier un bien ou un mal contemporain. Aussi des contes autobiographiques tels que des expériences personnelles avec d'autres ou des possessions, la paix et les peines, les miracles, les amours et les amitiés.

When the Japanese invade in 1942, the Australian men and women stationed at the New Guinea port of Rabaul flee into the jungle. Written off by their government as ‘hostages to fortune', the little-known garrison on Australia's tropic frontier has been left with no modern equipment, no lifeline to the outside, and no means of escape. Most are captured and killed in the sinking of the prison ship Montevideo Maru, which remains Australia's worst sea disaster. But the surviving soldiers and nurses carry on.

Como esas embriagantes versiones en español de las baladas románticas premiadas en San Remo o Viña, estos Temas lentos, elegantes y sensuales, captan con la crítica, el diario íntimo o la viñeta satírica las modulaciones de las vanguardias (Duchamp y Warhol, ¡claro!, pero también Aira y Bolaño, Brecht y Beckett...) aplicadas a cuestiones pedestres: la orfandad, el inverosímil costumbrista de una Alemania costera.

Niels Bøgh Andersens "Krigsdagbog" er et enestående historisk dokument over Anden Verdenskrig set fra den tyske side af fronten. Daglige begravelser, forår i Paris, vinter i 45 graders frost i Hviderusland, hjemve af den værste skuffe og alligevel små lysglimt i mørket. Niels Bøgh Andersen var en del af det danske mindretal i Sydslesvig og blev indkaldt til at kæmpe for et land, som han ikke selv så som sit fædreland. Niels Bøgh-Andersen (1908-1991) var en dansk lærer og forfatter, der i en årrække var forstander for Jaruplund Højskole.

In his essay about the life of Irish writer John McGahern, Tóibín reveals the tones of melancholy and amusement within both art and the artist. In his extraordinary essay on his cancer diagnosis, Tóibín unpicks the word 'battle', and illuminates the distress, horror and blankness of his experiences. From the shades of light and dark in a Venice without tourists, to the streets of Buenos Aires riddled with disappearances and tied up with dictators and politics, we find ourselves considering law and religion in Ireland as well as in Marilynne Robinson's fiction.

Knud Rasmussen (1878-1933) var en dansk-grønlandsk polarforsker.

Dorothy Wordsworth was born in Cockermouth in 1771, being one year younger than her brother William. After their mother died in 1778, they were separated and did not return to the Lake District until 1794, when they spent two happy months walking around the hills near Keswick, eventually settling down at Grasmere in 1799. The journals that Dorothy kept are remarkable for the detailed observations she makes of the surrounding countryside and people, often providing glimpses of poverty and suffering, as well as displaying her complete love affair with nature.

Viscount Horatio Nelson (1758-1805), known as ‘The Hero’ during his own lifetime was both an inspiring commander and an innovative tactician, becoming a rear admiral after defeating the Spanish fleet at the Battle of Cape St Vincent. He was also responsible for the great victories of the Nile (1798) and Copenhagen (1801). Revered by his officers and men, he was renowned for both his arrogance and his scandalous love affair with the beautiful Emma Hamilton.

In 1911, Captain Robert Falcon Scott went back to the huge frozen wasteland of the Antarctic with the intention of reaching the South Pole, by a long and terribly arduous trek across the ice.

With temperatures of minus 30, they began their slow journey back to their base.

Succeeding William IV in 1837, Victoria reigned for nearly 64 years and was always a keen chronicler of life around her, through both her paintings and the detailed diary she kept from the age of 13. Queen Victoria’s Highland Journals cover the period from 1848 to 1882 and provide a fascinating insight into those long 'never-to-be-forgotten days' she spent with her family in her much beloved Scottish Highlands.

The brief and tragic life of Charlotte Brontë (1816-1855) is told through the beautiful and passionate letters written by Charlotte to her best friend Ellen Nussey.

Born at Steventon in 1775, the daughter of a Hampshire clergyman, Jane Austen was the youngest of seven children. She lived a quiet life, moving to Bath, Southampton, Chawton and eventually to Winchester where she died unmarried in 1817 at the age of 42. It is to her elder sister Cassandra that most of her surviving letters are written, and through them, we discover the intimate world of the English gentry.

George Gordon Byron was born in 1788, the son of the profligate 'Mad Jack' Byron, and succeeded to the title in 1798 moving to the family seat of Newstead Abbey. He attended Harrow School and Trinity College, Cambridge, where he proved to be a poor scholar, preferring boxing, the low life and poetry, publishing his first volume of poems in 1806. In 1809, at 21, he embarked on a grand tour of Europe and on his return to England he married the humourless Annabella Milbanke, who gave birth to his daughter Augusta in 1815.

Rahel Levin Varnhagen, geboren vor 250 Jahren in Berlin, war eine ausgesprochene Netzwerkerin. Als Salonnière empfing sie regelmäßig bekannte und unbekannte Gäste verschiedener Stände. Als exzessive Briefeschreiberin reflektierte und kommentierte sie kritisch wie humoristisch ihre persönliche Gegenwart. Dennoch erlebte sie als deutsche Jüdin immer wieder Antisemitismus, was nicht zuletzt Hannah Arendt zu einer Biografie über Varnhagen bewegte.
