40 Jahre nach dem Erscheinen ihrer chinesischen Familienchronik »Wilde Schwäne« legt Jung Chang die lange erwartete Fortsetzung des legendären Weltbestsellers vor: In »Fliegt, Wilde Schwäne« erzählt sie die Geschichte ihrer Familie – und damit auch die Geschichte Chinas – vom Ende der Mao-Ära und dem Beginn der Reformen unter Deng Xiaoping bis in die Gegenwart Xi Jinpings weiter: China hat sich von einem heruntergekommenen und isolierten Staat zu einer Weltmacht entwickelt, die die Vormachtstellung der Vereinigten Staaten herausfordert.

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".

هذا أوّل كتابٍ أُفرد للمرأة في حياة "طه حسين" وأدبه. فبرغم ما عرف عنه من أنّه كان نصير المرأة والدّاعي قولاً وفعلاً إلى تعليمها، إلّا أنّنا لا نجد سوى بحثٍ يتيمٍ هنا أو مقالٍ صحفيٍّ هناك عن علاقة "طه حسين بالمرأة". تتبّعتُ حضور المرأة في حياته سواءً أكان حضوراً طاغياً مثل زوجته سوزان، أم حضوراً خافتاً مثل أمّه وابنته، وعرضتُ لنساءٍ كان لهنّ تماسٌّ معه مثل حبّه الأول وتلميذته وحتى اللواتي اختلفن معه. واستقصيتُ النماذجَ النسوية التي وردت في أدبه من نساءٍ خاضعاتٍ ضعيفاتٍ إلى نساءٍ متعلّماتٍ متحدّيات، ومن مشرقيّاتٍ مستسلماتٍ لأقدارهنّ إلى أوروبيّاتٍ متحرّرات متحضّرات، في صوَرٍ متعدّدة الجوانب للمرأة عند "طه حسين"، عساها تعطي فكرةً لا أزعمها شاملةً، ولكنها كافيةٌ لتوضيح دور المرأة في حياته وانعكاس هذا الدّور على أدبه.

Stefan Zweig's memoir, The World of Yesterday, recalls the golden age of prewar Europe - its seeming permanence, its promise and its devastating fall with the onset of two world wars.

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.

Ces souvenirs de jeunesse composent le portrait délicat d’une âme en formation.

They were the Mitford sisters: Nancy, Pamela, Diana, Unity, Jessica and Deborah. Born into country-house privilege, they became prominent as 'bright young things' in the high society of interwar London. Then, as the shadows crept over 1930s Europe, the stark – and very public – differences in their outlooks came to symbolise the political polarities of a dangerous decade.

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.

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."
