It is an unusually humane account of Europe from the closing years of the 19th century through to World War II, seen through the eyes of one of the most famous writers of his era.

Kafka is one of 161 inspired-and inspiring-minds, among them, novelists, poets, playwrights, painters, philosophers, scientists, and mathematicians, who describe how they subtly maneuver the many (self-inflicted) obstacles and (self-imposed) daily rituals to get done the work they love to do, whether by waking early or staying up late; whether by self-medicating with doughnuts or bathing, drinking vast quantities of coffee, or taking long daily walks.

إنه عملاق الأدب الفرنسي في القرن العشرين؛ وما زلنا الآن نعيش زمن بروست، كما قالت جوليا كريستيفا. ويرى كثير من النقّاد العالميين أن "السباعية هي أفضل إنجاز أدبي في عصرنا" (فالتر بنيامين)، لأنها أصبحت من أعمدة الثورة الروائية الآن. وفيها أراد بروست أن يفهمنا معنى الحياة والموت والذاكرة والزمن: تبدأ الجملة الأولى فيها بكلمة "زمن" وتنتهي بها. وبناها على غرار الكاتدرائيات القروسطية. لقد كتبها بروست بحيث تكون مفتوحة على الفلسفة والألسنية والسيميائية والتحليل النفسي، وأتت جملها شبيهة بجمل الكاتب اللاتيني شيشرون الفضفاضة sententia. وتُعَدّ السباعية أطول رواية في القرن العشرين (حوالي 4000 صفحة). وأنجزها بروست خلال 16 سنة، وكأن ساعة موته أرجئت حتى ينهيها، وتم له ذلك. يقول شيخ البروستيين في العالم، جان إيف تادييه: الإنكليز عندهم "شكسبير"، والألمان "غوته"، والروس "دستويفسكي"، والإيطاليون "دانتي"، والإسبان "ثيربانتيس". أما الفرنسيون فعندهم "بروست".

A classic of modern travel writing, An Area of Darkness is Nobel Laureate V. S. Naipaul’s profound reckoning with his ancestral homeland and an extraordinarily perceptive chronicle of his first encounter with India. Traveling from the bureaucratic morass of Bombay to the ethereal beauty of Kashmir, from a sacred ice cave in the Himalayas to an abandoned temple near Madras, Naipaul encounters a dizzying cross-section of humanity: browbeaten government workers and imperious servants, a suavely self-serving holy man, and a deluded American religious seeker.

As he was composing what was to become his most enduring and popular book, E. B. White was obeying that oft-repeated maxim: "Write what you know." Helpless pigs, silly geese, clever spiders, greedy rats - White knew all of these characters in the barns and stables where he spent his favorite hours. In The Story of Charlotte's Web, Michael Sims shows how White solved what critic Clifton Fadiman once called "the standing problem of the juvenile-fantasy writer: how to find, not another Alice, but another rabbit hole."

From Leonardo Da Vinci to John Dee and Comenius, from George Eliot to Oliver Sacks and Susan Sontag, polymaths have moved the frontiers of knowledge in countless ways. But history can be unkind to scholars with such encyclopaedic interests. All too often these individuals are remembered for just one part of their valuable achievements. In this engaging, erudite account, renowned cultural historian Peter Burke argues for a more rounded view.
