What began as a singular letter in response to a younger family member standing on the precipice of her 60th birthday and asking the age-old question, 'What’s it like to be old?,' soon turned into one full year of unsent reflections, wonderment and curiosity of a life truly lived. Out of these reflections, New York Times-bestselling author Sophy Burnham developed this short, storytelling collection of unsent letters that offer listeners of all ages hope and happiness, and new ways to perceive our later years.

Bruce Lee: Letters of the Dragon is a fascinating glimpse of the private Bruce Lee behind the public image—a man with the patience and concern to dedicate as much effort to crafting a thoughtful personal answer to the letter of a young fan as to those from his old friends and associates; an extremely active man never too busy to make time for an old family friend in need of simple companionship; a man who never wrote without careful thought, and never thought from the head alone, but always from the head and heart together.

మనిషిని ఏకాకిని చేసే ప్రేమరాహిత్యాన్ని, విద్వేషాన్ని, హింసని, వివక్షని ద్వేషంతో కాకుండా తన అక్షరాలనిండా ప్రేమ నింపుకుని తడమడమే అరుణాంక్ "ఖ్వాబ్" ప్రత్యేకత. ఈ లేఖా రచనలో మంచి భావుకత, సౌందర్యం వుంది. ఇప్పుడు అరుణాంక్ "ఖ్వాబ్ " లేఖలు రాయడం, అందునా ప్రేమని రాయడం మరిచిపోయిన మనందరిలో మళ్లీ ప్రేమలేఖలు రాయాలనే ఉత్సాహాన్ని తట్టిలేపుతుంది.

Ruskin Bond is most at home in his cosy room in Landour, a room with a window—from which he looks out on the world. A room where he writes his daily journal. In these leaves from his journal, written over the past two years, Ruskin describes his days in his unique way: from the joy of seeing a new flower bloom to the pain of a toothache that just can't be ignored. Outside, the seasons change. In his room, for Ruskin, every morning brings new thoughts, new observations.

When you flip through your old papers, you find a lot of nonsense...a lot of empty talk that has no head or tail, some of which indicates extreme silliness or naivety or funny optimism or unjustified self-confidence or an unnecessary feeling of lowliness.

Vorab zur Persönlichkeit Jean Pauls: Als Busenfreund und Blutsbruder von E.T.A. Hofmann gilt er neben demselben als Enfant Terrible der Romantik und als einziger Mensch seiner Zeit, der sogar Goethes Intellekt ins Wanken brachte, wobei Letzterer nach einem Kennenlernen Jean Pauls anmerkte, dass dieser auf ihn wie ein Mensch vom Mond wirke, aber schließlich die Auseinandersetzung mit dessen Texten nur wohlwollende und respektable Worte der Anerkennung zur Folge hatten.

At the start of the 20th century, Rainer Maria Rilke wrote a series of letters to a young officer cadet, advising him on writing, love, sex, suffering, and the nature of advice itself. These profound and lyrical letters have since become hugely influential for generations of writers and artists of all kinds, including Lady Gaga and Patti Smith. With honesty, elegance, and a deep understanding of the loneliness that often comes with being an artist, Rilke's letters are an endless source of inspiration and comfort.

While Pilot Officer Geoffrey Myers was caught up in the Battle of Britain, his French wife and two half-Jewish children were trapped in increasingly dangerous circumstances in Nazi-occupied France. In intimate, frank, and powerful letters, Myers kept a record of his war, his deep love for his wife Margot and their children, and his heart-wrenching fear for their safety as they tried to escape. Secret Letters: A Battle of Britain Love Story is an incredibly rare personal account of some of the major turning points of WWII.

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.

Ein Glücksfall für die Historiker: Harry Graf Kessler (1868 - 1937) beschreibt das Zeitgeschehen der Jahres 1932. Seine Berichterstattungen sind sehr genau und zeugen von der Bildung eines aufgeklärten Europäers. 1932 ist wie ein langer dunkler Dezember ohne Advent und Weihnachten. Der größte Teil des Textes behandelt die aufgeheizten Debatten um die Politik des Tages (5 große Wahlen in 8 Monaten). Den Terror der Nazis auf den Straßen und die Sabotage der Weimarer Institutionen aus den Hinterzimmern des Parlaments.
