The crônica, a literary genre peculiar to Brazilian newspapers, allows writers, or even soccer stars, to address a wide readership on any theme they like. Chatty, mystical, intimate, flirtatious, and revelatory, Clarice Lispector’s pieces for the Saturday edition of Rio’s leading paper, the Jornal do Brasil, from 1967 to 1973, take the forms of memories, essays, aphorisms, and serialized stories. Endlessly delightful, her insights make one sit up and think, whether about children or social ills or pets or society women or the business of writing or love.

Dieses nach Nietzsche "tiefste Buch, das die Menschheit besitzt", nimmt vom ersten Moment an gefangen durch seine hymnische Sprache. Die Gedanken, eigentlich "Übergedanken", tanzen sich mit ihrem Rhythmus und ihrer Musikalität unmerklich in das Bewusstsein des Hörers hinein. Und was für Gedanken! – Gott ist tot – und damit die Idee von den Menschen, die alle gleich sind. Der Mensch, wie er heute ist, muss überwunden werden durch den "Übermenschen", der ein Schaffender und ein Wollender ist. Der neue Mensch ist ein sich selbst Liebender und ein vom Willen zur Macht über sich selbst Beseelter.

The groundbreaking trans-genre work of Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986) has been insinuating itself into the structure, stance, and very breath of world literature for well over half a century.

Mention the name Niccolò Machiavelli and you might unleash a powerful response-even among people who have never read a word of his writing. The word "Machiavellian" conjures up images of an indistinct figure quietly making his way through the darkest corridors of power; a cold-blooded political liar; or a coolly practical leader - amoral at best - willing to do whatever is necessary in a world governed not by ideas of right or wrong, but by solutions dictated by realpolitik.
