"Walle! Walle manche Strecke, dass, zum Zwecke, Wasser fließe...."; wer kennt sie nicht, diese Verse aus dem "Zauberlehrling". Ganz sicher hätte sie Goethe nie geschrieben, wäre der Dichter nicht in regelmäßige Korrespondenz mit Schiller getreten, der ihn anspornte, für seine Zeitschriften eine Fülle von Lyrik und Prosa beizusteuern. Und was für den "Zauberlehrling" gilt, gilt für so viele weitere literarische Glanzpunkte in Goethes' wie auch in Schillers' Werk.

The extant letters of Pliny, written between AD 97 and 112, give us a unique insight into Imperial Rome under the early Antonine emperors. Organised into 10 books, the letters reflect a wide range of topics, mirroring Pliny’s own public and private interests. Among many other subjects, the letters also include an eye-witness account of the eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79, with the final book containing the exchange of letters between the writer (whose career culminated as Governor of Bithynia) and the emperor Trajan.

La carta más famosa del siglo xx jamás llegó a su destinatario. Ni siquiera fue enviada. La escribió Franz Kafka de un tirón entre el 4 y el 20 de noviembre de 1919, y está dirigida a su padre, Hermann Kafka, comerciante judío en la ciudad de Praga. Escrita en un estilo que su propio autor calificó «de abogado», la carta es un memorial de las relaciones que había mantenido con su padre desde su nacimiento.

Aussi des contes autobiographiques tels que des expériences personnelles avec d'autres ou des possessions, la paix et les peines, les miracles, les amours et les amitiés.

When the Japanese invade in 1942, the Australian men and women stationed at the New Guinea port of Rabaul flee into the jungle. Written off by their government as ‘hostages to fortune', the little-known garrison on Australia's tropic frontier has been left with no modern equipment, no lifeline to the outside, and no means of escape. Most are captured and killed in the sinking of the prison ship Montevideo Maru, which remains Australia's worst sea disaster. But the surviving soldiers and nurses carry on.

She lived a quiet life, moving to Bath, Southampton, Chawton and eventually to Winchester where she died unmarried in 1817 at the age of 42.
