This is Annie Ernaux’s account of her passionate love affair with A., a man some thirty years younger, when she was in her fifties. The relationship pulls her back to memories of her own youth and, at the same time, leaves her feeling ageless, outside of time—together with a sense that she is living her life backwards. Amidst talk of having a child together, she feels time running its course and menopause approaching. The Young Man recalls Ernaux as the “scandalous girl” she once was but is composed with the mastery and the self-assurance she has achieved across decades of writing.

Leslie Jamison has become one of our most beloved contemporary voices, a scribe of the real, the true, the complex.

»Søndagsbørn er der held ved,« sagde hans Bedstemor, og det lunede så rart. Dines Skafte Jespersen er optimist. Levende og humørfuldt skildrer han tilværelsen, som han oplevede den i begyndelsen af 1900-tallet. Først rigtig ude på landet midtvejs mellem Saksild og Rude, så nogle år i storbyen Odder, på landet igen en tid, så højskole og endelig tre år i den gamle marskby Tønder, der dengang netop igen var blevet dansk, men stadig havde tysk flertal.

Forelskelsernes tid er femte og sidste bind af Marcel Pagnols (1895-1974) barndomserindringer fra Provence.

Bogen består af 10 kapitler, som blev fundet efter Pagnols død og udgivet samlet under titlen Forelskelsernes tid. Bogen er mere heterogen end de tidligere erindringsbind. Gennem humoristiske historier om venskab og skole fortæller Pagnol om livet på gymnasieskolen Thiers de Maseille. Ungdomsårene er også tidspunktet for de første forelskelser, petanquekonkurrencer med faren og landsbyens naboer. I et enkelt kapitel lidt afvigende kapitel skildrer Pagnol også pesten i Marseille i 1720.

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry est né à Lyon dans un milieu aristocratique, construit sur une architecture de valeurs classiques évoquant la marquise de Sévigné, les dentelles, les goûters d'enfants sous les arbres d'un jardin familial vaste comme un parc... Il est mort 44 ans plus tard, encapsulé aux commandes d'un avion de reconnaissance stratosphérique préfigurant l'âge de l'astronautique.

Autorów lektur szkolnych powszechnie uważa się za postacie pomnikowe i pozbawione wad. Oceniani są przez pryzmat swoich utworów – wszak każdy przecież wie, że „Słowacki wielkim poetą był”. Tymczasem ich życie prywatne było znacznie bardziej zawiłe, niż opisują to biografowie. I często bardziej intrygujące niż dzieła, jakie pozostawili. Uzależnienie od alkoholu, hazardu, narkotyków czy seksu, skomplikowane życie intymne i wstydliwe choroby – to proza życia najwybitniejszych polskich pisarzy, których dzieła od lat poznajemy w szkole.

Als Paula Modersohn-Becker am 20. November 1907 starb, gab es nur zwei Menschen, welche wussten, dass in diesem Tod eine große Künstlerin hinweg genommen wurde. Die beiden waren ihr Ehemann, der Maler Otto Modersohn, und der Bildhauer Bernhard Hoetger. Für alle andern Personen und Kreise, eingeschlossen der Worpsweder Künstlerkreis, zu dem die Verstorbene äußerlich dazugehörte, war sie eine begabte Malerin neben anderen gewesen; für manche vielleicht auch nur ein irregeleitetes Talent.

De Profundis is a 50,000-word letter written by Oscar Wilde during his imprisonment in Reading Gaol, to Lord Alfred Douglas, his lover. Wilde wrote the letter between January and March 1897; he was not allowed to send it, but took it with him upon release. In it he repudiates Lord Alfred for what Wilde finally sees as his arrogance and vanity; he had not forgotten Douglas's remark, when he was ill, "When you are not on your pedestal you are not interesting."

Following in the footsteps of his literary hero, researcher and historian Oliver Lewis set out to visit all the places to have inspired and been lived in by George Orwell.

Ruskin Bond is eighty-nine years old: long past sixty, the age at which one becomes a senior citizen; also the age around which it is said one should think of retiring from active life. As the years go by, his contentment with living the life he has chosen--keeping to himself, with his family...
