James Baldwin (1924–1987) was a pivotal figure of the twentieth century, an influential author, intellectual, and activist who led a celebrated public life—and whose words and image and persona remain current in our culture. Baldwin's many incarnations have reemerged in the digital age as Baldwin's work becomes a touchstone for a new generation. It is the private, vulnerable, and messier Baldwin—the man behind the prophet and the online meme—who is the focus of this book.

Since her death, Sylvia Plath (1932–1963) has become an endless source of fascination for a wide audience ranging from readers of The Bell Jar, her semiautobiographical novel, to her groundbreaking poetry as exemplified by Ariel. Beyond her writing, however, interest in Plath has also been fueled in part by the tragic nature of her death. As a result, a steady stream of biographies of Plath have appeared over the last fifty-five years that mainly focus on her death or contain projections of an array of points of view about the writer.

Eine Andeutung, gelesen von Ulrich Matthes. 1943: Dreizehnjährig wird Thomas Bernhard in ein Internat nach Salzburg geschickt.

The Trembling Hand turns an urgent critical gaze onto six major Romantic authors, examining how their lives and works were entangled with the racist realities of their era. Mathelinda Nabugodi pores over carefully preserved manuscripts, travels to the houses where these writers lived and died, examines the personal objects which survived them: a teacup, a baby rattle, a lock of hair.

As biografias desses dois cronistas, escritas pelo mestre Alexandre Herculano, mais do que tecer críticas sinceras, oferecem ao leitor um vislumbre desse movimento literário tão caro à literatura portuguesa – as crônicas medievais. De Rui de Pina, destaca ter escrito o maior número de crônicas de que se tem notícia. De Garcia de Resende, um retrato pouco lisonjeiro: "velho cortesão, escreveu a vida de D. João II debaixo dos tetos dos suntuosos paços da Ribeira. A este pobre homem não cabe, todavia, a glória da invenção daquele gênero histórico."

Dickens the Enchanter takes us deep into an imagination whose power and originality struck some contemporaries as godlike while others thought it demonic. If you already love Dickens, it will renew your understanding of him; if you have yet to experience him, it will lure you into his astonishing, alarming, enchanted world.

En 2014, Vika regresa a su Ucrania natal para investigar un misterio familiar: cómo murió su tío bisabuelo Nikodim en la década de 1930 y por qué su historia sigue siendo tabú casi un siglo después. Aunque desentrañar viejas incógnitas siempre resulta complicado, no había previsto que la resistencia más fuerte la encontraría en su abuela Valentina, que le prohíbe remover el pasado. No en vano, Ucrania es «tierra de sangre», como sus vecinos Polonia, Bielorrusia, Rusia y los países bálticos.

For Lewis Carroll, a deacon in the Church of England, faith in Christ and belief in a loving God stood at the core of his being, but little has been written about what the church or faith meant to the celebrated author of the Alice books. With Lewis Carroll: Formed by Faith, Charlie Lovett provides the first in-depth study of the religious life of the famous author, whose real name was Charles Lutwidge Dodgson. By examining Dodgson's religious education and core beliefs, this book shows how a deep Christian faith guided every part of his life and work.

With the publication of her first book of poems in her sixty-third year, Amy Clampitt rose meteorically to fame, launching herself from obscurity to the upper ranks of American poetry all but overnight, and living a whirlwind eleven years, until her death in 1994. Years later, as renowned poetry scholar Willard Spiegelman wades into her papers and poems, he discovers a woman of dazzling intellect, staunch progressive politics, and an inexhaustible sense of wonder for the world and the words we’ve invented to describe it.

Em 9 de agosto de 2001, 22 dias após Jeffrey - agora conhecido como Prisioneiro FF8282 - ter sido condenado a quatro anos de prisão por perjúrio, ele foi transferido de uma prisão de segurança máxima em Londres para HMP Wayland, uma prisão de segurança média em Norfolk. Durante os 67 dias seguintes, enquanto esperava ser reclassificado para uma prisão "aberta" de segurança mínima, ele presenciou não apenas as degradações diárias de um sistema prisional perigosamente sobrecarregado, mas também o espírito e a coragem de seus companheiros de prisão.

Convencido de que uno de los hombres más inteligentes de la Tierra guarda el secreto del sentido de la vida y la inmortalidad del alma, el periodista Ricardo F. Colmenero se hace pasar por traficante de hachís y jugador de ajedrez para recoger los restos inmortales del comunista, del voluntario del Vietcong, del directivo del Instituto de Crédito Oficial, del presidiario, de la cobaya de estupefacientes, del primer repudiado por políticamente incorrecto cuando aún no existía lo políticamente incorrecto.

La relación entre Virginia Woolf y la excentricidad era peculiar. "Desde el primer momento se vio que ella era incalculable, excéntrica y propensa a los accidentes", señala su sobrino, el historiador de arte Quentin Bell. Su aspecto, su ropa y, en suma, ella misma podían generar impresiones encontradas. "Tenía una presencia que la volvía notable de inmediato", dice Madge Garland, legendaria editora de Vogue, al recordar la primera vez que la vio, en los años veinte.

The voice, the dressing-down, the cigarette in its holder, remain unmistakable. There is rarely a week when one of Private Lives, Hay Fever, and Blithe Spirit is not in production somewhere in the world. Phrases from Noël Coward's songs - "Mad About The Boy", "Mad Dogs and Englishman" - are forever lodged in the public consciousness. He was at one point the most highly paid author in the world. Yet some of his most striking and daring writing remains unfamiliar.

De la amplia obra de Stefan Zweig, celebrada por generaciones de lectores alrededor del mundo, quizá sus biografías son las que mejor dan muestra de la destreza del escritor para el retrato, de su agudeza psicológica y de la profunda comprensión del alma humana.

In late-1940s Long Branch, a historic but run-down Jersey Shore resort town, in a neighborhood of Italian, Black, and Jewish families, Robert Pinsky began his unlikely journey to becoming a poet. Descended from a bootlegger grandfather, an athletic father, and a rebellious tomboy mother, Pinsky was an unruly but articulate high school C student, whose obsession with the rhythms and melodies of speech inspired him to write.
