Ein Charakterbild des französischen Autors der „Comédie humaine" und vieler anderer Werke.

Das England des 16. Jahrhunderts war eine brutale Welt, geprägt von politischen Intrigen, religiösen Kämpfen und grassierenden Seuchen. Und dennoch wurde das elisabethanische Zeitalter zu einer überragenden Blütezeit der englischen Literatur. Ihr Wegbereiter war Christopher Marlowe: Im gleichen Jahr wie William Shakespeare wurde er als Sohn eines Schusters geboren. Allen Widrigkeiten zum Trotz erkämpfte er sich ein Stipendium in Cambridge, ließ sich in den Spionagedienst der Königin verwickeln und schuf einige der spektakulärsten Meisterwerke der englischen Literatur.

Wit and Wisdom of Oscar Wilde is a timeless collection of the sharpest observations, paradoxes, and epigrams from one of literature’s most brilliant minds. Oscar Wilde’s wit is elegant, mischievous, and relentlessly insightful. With effortless precision, he skewers social conventions, exposes hypocrisy, and reveals enduring truths about love, ambition, beauty, morality, and human folly. Each quotation stands alone yet contributes to a larger portrait of Wilde’s worldview—one that prizes individuality, intellectual courage, and the art of living well.

John Ronald Reuel Tolkien (January 3, 1892 to September 2, 1973) was an English writer and philologist. He was the author of the high fantasy works The Hobbit (1937) and The Lord of the Rings (1954–55). While many other authors had published works of fantasy before Tolkien, the success of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings precipitated an avalanche of new books and authors in the genre.

You will never forget 9 Hours Later which is the fifth volume in my Daily Autobiography series. It’s a daily diary written in the aftermath of divorce, while living alone again, dating as a sober man, and rebuilding momentum one ordinary day at a time. I didn’t write this to fit a genre or deliver a clean arc. I wrote it to document what actually happens when the structure of marriage disappears and you’re left alone with time, desire, discipline, and your own thoughts. Sobriety runs through everything here.

Языки, которые вроде бы «мёртвые», а на деле — полны жизни.

Als er im Sterben lag, sagte Paul Auster seiner Frau, er wolle ein Geist werden. Und das ist er für Siri Hustvedt geworden: eine allzeit spürbare Präsenz, schmerzlich und tröstlich zugleich.

Und zum ersten Mal seit langer Zeit liest sie ihre eigenen Liebesbriefe, vom Beginn einer gemeinsamen Geschichte, die 43 Jahre währen sollte. Mit ihrem beispiellosen Trauer-, Gedächtnis- und Liebesbuch nähert sie sich dem unmöglichen Wunsch, Paul zu neuem Leben zu erwecken.

Jorge Ibargüengoitia relata, a su inconfundible manera, sus impresiones sobre la Revolución cubana y la Guerra Fría cultural en este libro que reúne textos inéditos, versiones originales de crónicas y correspondencia que ofrecen una perspectiva única y crítica de un momento histórico determinante.
