A meditative and inspiring diary of Derek Jarman's famous garden at Dungeness. In 1986 Derek Jarman discovered he was HIV positive and decided to make a garden at his cottage on the barren coast of Dungeness. Facing an uncertain future, he nevertheless found solace in nature, growing all manner of plants. While some perished beneath wind and sea-spray, others flourished, creating brilliant, unexpected beauty in the wilderness. Modern Nature is both a diary of the garden and a meditation by Jarman on his own life.

Zwei Autorinnen von internationalem Rang sind fast drei Jahrzehnte lang, von 1962 bis 1990, miteinander im Austausch: über das Schreiben, den Literaturbetrieb im Osten wie im Westen, über die Männer, die Kinder, die Arbeit im Garten und die politischen Systeme, in denen sie leben. Letztere sind es wohl, die diese Freundschaft an ein Ende bringen, nach vielen Jahren des vertrauensvollen Miteinanders. Streng und verspielt, heiter und verzweifelt, schnoddrig und ehrlich - Sarah Kirsch und Christa Wolf beim Schreiben und Leben zuzuhören ist ein Geschenk.

Neuf autres lettres suivront, que Kappus publiera en 1929, trois ans après la mort de Rilke.

Passioni e sentimenti, paure, tenerezze, invocazioni, tradimenti, ricongiungimenti, botte e minacce, miseria e malattia: tutto sotto "Un cielo fatto solo d'amore". È l'incontro di Dino Campana con Sibilla Aleramo, incontro straordinario, come le lettere che i due amanti si scrissero. Ogni pagina di questo carteggio è un viaggio, esaltante e senza soste, che ha inizio sotto il sole infuocato dell'agosto 1916, fra la vera montagna dei solitari e la pura bellezza dei grandi boschi e prosegue serenamente negli ultimi splendori della bella stagione a Faenza e Marradi.

This diary is the third book written by me, an exploration of urban and suburban environments to observe humans and modern objects. Representations in philosophical or mathematical form in order to find the right amount of motion, the proof that good is a higher feeling than an evil, the right repetition of always the same things to confirm that here one cannot say the false is even less realize it. A certain practicality that can be associated with a manual on socio-political rights, then the different forms of exit from a modern unhealthy or incorporeal being.

This book is the second handbook - an account of contemporary life and a personal diary written by me. The real joy that our time gives back is through experiences, not a rediscovery of new technologies but a function in different historical and geological periods, what has already created it according to explanations of events and their solutions.

George P. McClelland, a member of the 155th Pennsylvania Infantry in the Civil War, witnessed some of the war’s most pivotal battles during his two and a half years of Union service.

McClelland’s letters offer fresh insights into camp life, battlefield conditions, perceptions of key leaders, and the mindset of a young man who faced the prospect of death nearly every day of his service.

"Lettera al padre" ("Brief an den Vater") è una lettera di Franz Kafka al padre, scritta nel 1919 e pubblicata postuma nel 1952. In questa lettera, come nei "Quaderni in ottavo", lo scrittore rende con chiarezza quei presupposti filosofici e psicologici che nei suoi romanzi tanto sono nascosti dallo stile e dai temi volutamente surreali e oscuri.

Franz Kafka connut d'abord Milena comme traductrice : elle établissait la version tchèque de quelques-unes de ses proses courtes. Ces relations se transformèrent en une liaison passionnée dont les lettres permettent de suivre le progrès. Cette passion ne dura qu'un instant, elle tient en quelques mois à peine. Les lettres racontent d'un bout à l'autre ce roman d'amour, orgie de désespoir et de félicité, de mortification et d'humiliation.
