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.

Иван Алексеевич Бунин первый русский писатель, получивший Нобелевскую премию по литературе. В 1933 году автор Темных аллей и многочисленных рассказов получил мировое признание с формулировкой: "за строгое мастерство, с которым он развивает традиции русской классической прозы". Не секрет, что по резкости своих оценок, не только литературных, но и общечеловеческих, Бунин не знал себе равных. Не удивительно, что многие современники хотя и признавали его литературный талант, но отмечали сложность его характера и считали высокомерным снобом.

This second volume of the best-selling diaries of Henry 'Chips' Channon takes us from the heady aftermath of the Munich agreement, when the prime minister Chips so admired was credited with having averted a general European conflagration, through the rapid unravelling of appeasement, and on to the tribulations of the early years of the Second World War. It closes with a moment of hope, as Channon, in recording the fall of Mussolini in July 1943, reflects: 'The war must be more than half over.'

On connaissait une dizaine de lettres de Lou à Guillaume Apollinaire. Grâce à une découverte récente dans les archives du poète, c’est désormais près de cinquante nouvelles lettres qui sont accessibles. Lou, amante volage d’Apollinaire, assume sans culpabilité libertinage et liberté d’expression mais ne reste pourtant pas indifférente aux silences de Guillaume. Le poète apparaît alors moins comme le jouet d’une maîtresse frivole que comme celui qui a choisi de vivre discrètement une nouvelle aventure avec Madeleine Pagès, sa fiancée d’Oran.
