Since then she has gone on to produce some of the finest writing of the 20th century.

It is a life gorgeously, sometimes painfully remembered, in prose that sparkles with the effortless gifts of a master.

In 1845 Henry David Thoreau, one of the principal New England Transcendentalists, left the small town of Concord for the country.

In the process of creating this epic poem, Vergil (70–19 BCE) became the world’s first media celebrity, a living legend. But the real Vergil is a shadowy figure. Sarah Ruden, widely praised for her translation of the Aeneid, uses evidence from Roman life and history alongside Vergil’s own writings to make careful deductions to reconstruct the life of Rome’s greatest poet.

Ende der 1790er Jahre – als die meisten Staaten in Europa noch im eiserenen Griff absolutistischer Herrscher waren – galt die Idee vom freien Individuum als brandgefährlich. Und dennoch stellte eine Gruppe von Denkern in der kleinen Universitätsstadt Jena das Ich in den Mittelpunkt ihres Denkens, Schreibens und Lebens. Zu diesem Kreis gehörten die Dichter Goethe, Schiller und Novalis ebenso wie die Philosophen Fichte, Schelling und Hegel, die genialen Schlegel-Brüder und ihre Muse, Caroline Schlegel.

Previo al enorme éxito internacional de sus libros, antes de que su nombre apareciera en el horizonte de lo que cierta crítica ahora llama “literatura mundial”, Roberto Bolaño perpetraba pequeños actos de subversión simbólica. Tras presenciar uno de éstos en la feria del libro de París en 2003, donde Bolaño pasaba como anónimo entre varios editores franceses, Oswaldo Zavala — autor de La guerra en las palabras — decidió hacer una exploración de la obra del autor chileno como un gran proyecto literario, donde lo “marginal” se oponía a la producción cultural “hegemónica”.

David Shields’s The Trouble with Men: Reflections on Sex, Love, Marriage, Porn, and Power is an immersion into the perils, limits, and possibilities of human intimacy. All at once a love letter to his wife, a nervy reckoning with his own fallibility, a meditation on the impact of porn on American culture, and an attempt to understand marriage (one marriage, the idea of marriage, all marriages), The Trouble with Men is exquisitely balanced between the personal and the anthropological, nakedness and restraint.

These letters were arranged in two volumes by Albert Bigelow Paine, Samuel L. Clemens's literary executor, as a supplement to Mark Twain, A Biography, which Paine wrote. They are, for the most part, every letter written by Clemens known to exist at the time of their publication in 1917. They begin with a fragment of a letter from teenaged Sam Clemens to his sister, Pamela, and conclude with a letter to his attorney two weeks before his death. These letters give us some degree of insight into the evolution of Twain's style of speech and prose over the period of his lifetime.
