A classic Dickens Christmas story full of love, loss, regret, and reuniting. After a Christmas Eve feast, the narrator tells a story about Richard Doubledick, saved by an officer friend , who became his friend for life until his death at Waterloo. Richard later met the French officer who killed his friend and used forgiveness to get over it, which lead to them and their children becoming lifelong friends. This is a classic story about generations of salvation and friendship.

What if Eve, the mother of all humankind, had blogged? What if she had shared her discoveries of the newly formed world, her experiments as the first scientist, and her travels as the first explorer? What if she shared the secrets of assisting the first man without damaging the first fragile male ego? What if we could enjoy with her the first falling in love? Perhaps she did. Perhaps we can. Perhaps somehow Mark Twain plucked that first "blog" out of the cosmic ether....

A comic short story told in the first person by the first woman in the biblical creation story, Eve. Written in diary-entry style from creation to burial, the story was first published in the 1905 Christmas edition of Harper's Bazaar. Many believe it may have been written as a posthumous love-letter to Mark Twain's wife, Olivia Langdon Clemens, or Livy, who died in June 1904, just before the story was written.

Dans un sanatorium, en exil hors de la vie, une jeune femme reçoit une lettre de l'homme qu'elle aime : "Je me marie... notre amitié demeure..." Lucide, sobre, précis, le livre est sa réponse. Avec un esprit et une sensibilité à vif, aiguisés par la maladie, les insomnies et la proximité de la mort, l'auteure analyse ce qu'a été leur histoire. Se dessine alors le portrait d'une femme sensible, sincère, volontaire et d'une rare exigence qui, au plus fort de la passion, aura su obstinément préserver "un petit coin qui ne vibre pas".

Union General William Tecumseh Sherman came right through her yard on their march to the sea in 1864, just as they had other plantations. But the widow mistress of Georgia's Burge Plantation was no typical southern belle. She was a Maine-born transplant with 100 slaves. Here, in Dolly Sumner Lunt's own words, is a description of those days as she watched everything she had and believed in being threatened by an army she described as invaders.

With the publication of Susan Sontag's diaries, the development of her career can now be evaluated in a more genetic sense, so that the origins of her ideas and plans for publication are made plain in the context of her role as a public intellectual who is increasingly aware of her impact on her culture.

"Tonio, Sie sind hart wie Stein, wenn Sie treffen wollen." Agnes E. Meyer. Sie war seine Gönnerin, er war ihr Briefpartner von 1937 an bis zu seinem Tod 1955. Obwohl Thomas Mann von der nahezu grenzenlosen Bewunderung erheblich profitierte, die ihm Agnes E. Meyer entgegenbrachte, sah er ihre Hilfe bisweilen als störende Einmischung in sein Leben. Im Gegenzug erwartete Agnes E. Meyer ein gewisses Maß an Aufmerksamkeit und nahm für sich das Recht in Anspruch, ihn zu kritisieren und ihm Ratschläge zu erteilen.
