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.

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. Over three years he traveled from Wigan to Catalonia, Paris to Motihari, Marrakesh to Eton, and in each location explored both how Orwell experienced the place, and how the place now remembers him as a literary icon.

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...

V roce 1979 se Daňa Horáková stala třetí, poslední, manželkou režiséra a scénáristy Pavla Juráčka (1935–1989). Ve stejném roce byli vzhledem ke svým politickým postojům nuceni se v rámci akce Státní bezpečnosti „Asanace“ vystěhovat do Západního Německa. Autorka v knize popisuje jejich seznámení, svatbu a následný společný život nejprve v Čechách a později v Německu bez příkras, a byť i jen malé trošky autocenzury. Poznáváme tu patologický vztah dvou intelektuálů, kteří nemohli žít spolu, ale ani bez sebe. Vyprávění stejně spalující jako příběh Viktorky a Černého myslivce.

Edith Hamilton didn’t publish her first book until she was 62. But over the next three decades this former headmistress would become the twentieth century’s most famous interpreter of the classical world. Today, Hamilton’s Mythology (1942) remains the standard version of ancient tales. During the Cold War, her influence even extended to politics, as she argued that postwar America could learn from the fate of Athens after its victory in the Persian Wars. Victoria Houseman tells the fascinating life story of a remarkable classicist whose ideas were shaped by—and aspired to shape—her times.

Herbert George Wells (21 September 1866 - 13 August 1946) was an English writer. Prolific in many genres, he wrote dozens of novels, short stories, and works of social commentary, history, satire, biography and autobiography. ABOUT CHESTERTON AND BELLOC: It has been one of the less possible dreams of my life to be a painted Pagan God and live upon a ceiling. I crown myself becomingly in stars or tendrils or with electric coruscations (as the mood takes me), and wear an easy costume free from complications and appropriate to the climate of those agreeable spaces.
