Un colapso ha llevado al hombre que escribe esta correspondencia a un nuevo estado cerebral que no ha dejado en su memoria ni el más mínimo rastro de lo que fue. A lo largo de un año, el que fuera un reconocido lingüista explora su conciencia y, ante la ausencia de recuerdos, recoge una a una las piezas de su antigua vida como investigador de prestigio y lector insaciable, esculca en los vestigios de su vida profesional, familiar, afectiva, y se interroga sobre la vanidad que acecha en la acumulación de conocimiento, descubriendo poco a poco la belleza de las cosas más simples y cotidianas.

Inspired by a famed correspondence handbook penned by a persnickety Victorian who had strong opinions on how to lick a stamp, cultural critic Rachel Syme has rewritten the staid letter-writing rules of yore for the letter writers of today. Syme insists you must stuff your envelopes with flat frivolities (and includes guides for how to press flowers and make a matchbook-mark), teaches you how to perfume a parcel, and encourages you to cultivate your own ritual around keeping up with your correspondence.

El poder de la determinación queda retratado de manera magistral en la persona del soldado Rowan. Sin permitirse ninguna vacilación, el militar cumple con la tarea que se le encomienda. La historia es contada, en este texto clásico y fundacional del género del desarrollo personal, por Elbert Hubbard en 1892.

Para los lectores, hay pocas experiencias tan asombrosas e inolvidables como la primera lectura de Kafka. No importa lo que uno haya leído antes: cruzarse con una de sus novelas o cuentos, con un fragmento de sus diarios, es aprender a leer de un modo nuevo. La prosa precisa y de resonancias alegóricas; la capacidad para urdir tramas perfectas donde la lógica de la pesadilla convive con el grotesco; el modo de narrar la inapelable arbitrariedad del poder; el don único de volver verosímil lo que en principio parece imposible de alcanzar ese estatuto.

Autor irrepetible, forjador de un nuevo modo de ver y contar, maestro del cuento, la literatura en Chéjov se filtra en cada palabra que esculpía, más allá de su obra de ficción: "la literatura es mi amante". Amor, vida y literatura. Eso es lo que el lector disfrutará con esta compilación de cartas y aforismos en los que la figura de Chéjov aumenta, crece y nos atraviesa porque quizá no haya mejor lectura que internarse en la mente, en las palabras secretas, en la sensibilidad de un genio.

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."

The Life and Letters of John Muir, Volume Two is the second volume of John Muir's letters, written by a Scottish-American naturalist, author, and advocate for wilderness preservation in the United States. The letters in this volume cover the period from 1873 to 1903 and provide additional insight into Muir's thoughts, experiences, and the development of his beliefs about the natural world.

This collection contains miscellaneous notes and fragments found after the death of Baudelaire. They reveal in miniature the many and varied aspects of the moral and intellectual life of the author.

This book includes a timeline of John Muir's life, providing historical context for his spiritual views and writings.

The next generation will face the reality that human activity is changing the planet from one geological epoch to another. From this vantage point—two generations across two geological epochs facing a fundamentally changing planet—Larry Rasmussen writes to his grandchildren. As a grandfather invested in a green earth and climate justice as well as a scholar of faith-based earth ethics, Rasmussen bridges this gap between generations to write to the future about climate change, global citizenship, democracy, and legacy.

"Conta più chi ti conosce di chi conosci tu" ha scritto Wisława Szymborska. Raffaele La Capria, una delle voci più influenti dell'Italia del Novecento, rende omaggio alla letteratura - compagna di vita, unica àncora di salvezza in un'epoca "senza maestri" - e ai tanti amici, alcuni ormai salpati come lui per un impalpabile altrove, attraverso più di settant'anni di lettere, scritte e ricevute.

Here are some of the best of Churchill’s letters, many of a more personal and intimate nature, presented in chronological order, with a preface to each letter explaining the context. The recipients include a vast range of people, including his schoolmaster, his American grandmother and former President Eisenhower.

This is Christopher back to his original and best - exploring the downright creepy correspondence with murderers, serial killers and psychopaths behind bars, with exclusive scans of letters and eerily designed envelopes.

Friedrich Nietzsche gilt bis heute als Spitze der philosophischen Nahrungskette. Sein umfassendes Werk deckt wissenschaftliche, künstlerische, philosophische und philologische Schriften ab. Nietzsche beeinflusste Maler, Literaten, Musiker, Wissenschaftler und Künstler aller sogenannten Genres und birgt nach wie vor gesellschaftliches Dynamit. Gerade wegen der Zeitlosigkeit und Aktualität seiner Schriften haben es keinerlei Gruppierungen jeglicher Art versäumt, sich schamlos an aus dem Zusammenhang gerissenen Formulierungen Nietzsches zu bedienen und auf ihre Fahnen zu schmieren.

While Pilot Officer Geoffrey Myers was caught up in the Battle of Britain, his French wife and two half-Jewish children were trapped in increasingly dangerous circumstances in Nazi-occupied France. In intimate, frank, and powerful letters, Myers kept a record of his war, his deep love for his wife Margot and their children, and his heart-wrenching fear for their safety as they tried to escape. Secret Letters: A Battle of Britain Love Story is an incredibly rare personal account of some of the major turning points of WWII.

When actress and activist Brittany Snow was a teenager, she read an article about another woman’s hardship that made her feel seen and less alone. She carried that story in her back pocket for a long time. This experience was a gift that Brittany then paid forward when she revealed her own experience in a published article. Brittany’s story resonated with a young reader, who kept that story in her back pocket, where it was when the two crossed paths serendipitously.
