Oscar Wilde já era reconhecido como um dos melhores autores de seu tempo quando foi condenado à prisão, em 1895. A acusação de “indecência grave” remetia à muito discutida homossexualidade de Wilde, considerada crime na época. Enquanto estava encarcerado, o autor escreveu uma carta a Lord Alfred Douglas, com quem mantinha uma relação que foi o estopim para sua prisão.

"Les lettres que Rainer Maria Rilke adressait au jeune poète Franz Kappus, me sont apparues comme une eau claire. J'ai plongé dans cette lecture sans reprendre mon souffle. Ma rencontre avec ces lettres reste un choc ; une émotion au bord des larmes." Barbara. En 1903, Rilke répond à Franz Kappus, un jeune homme de vingt ans, élève d'une école militaire, qui lui a envoyé ses premiers essais poétiques. Neuf autres lettres suivront, que Kappus publiera en 1929, trois ans après la mort de Rilke.

This diary is the third book written by me, an exploration of urban and suburban environments to observe humans and modern objects. Representations in philosophical or mathematical form in order to find the right amount of motion, the proof that good is a higher feeling than an evil, the right repetition of always the same things to confirm that here one cannot say the false is even less realize it. A certain practicality that can be associated with a manual on socio-political rights, then the different forms of exit from a modern unhealthy or incorporeal being.

This book is the second handbook - an account of contemporary life and a personal diary written by me. The real joy that our time gives back is through experiences, not a rediscovery of new technologies but a function in different historical and geological periods, what has already created it according to explanations of events and their solutions.

Veranlasst durch eine Rezension von August Wilhelm Schlegel zeigte Goethe sich im Dezember 1797 zuversichtlich, die Regeln des Epos und des Dramas herauszuarbeiten. "Seit der Erscheinung der Schlegelschen Recension meines Herrmanns habe ich die Gesetze der Epopée und des Dramas wieder durchgedacht und glaube auf gutem Wege zu seyn. Die Schwierigkeit bey diesen theoretischen Bemühungen ist immer die Dichtarten von allem zufälligen zu befreyen. Nächstens erhalten Sie wohl einen kleinen Aufsatz darüber und ich mag daher nichts weiter voraussagen." (Goethe an Schiller, 20.12.1797).

Au cours d'une soirée où se rend le Tout-Paris de la Belle Epoque, en 1905, Colette rencontre la marquise de Morny, dite "Missy". Celle-ci, divorcée et à la tête d'une grande fortune, vit pleinement sa préférence sexuelle. Cheveux courts, pantalon, bottes et complets-vestons : son personnage inclassable dérange et effraie son époque. Un an plus tard, Colette divorce de Willy et vivre avec Missy une intense histoire d'amour qui durera jusqu'en 1911.

This letter of St. John Chrysostom to the Bishop of Rome, deals with Theophilus, the leader of the Church in Alexandria.

C'est par Boris Pasternak, alors au début de sa carrière d'écrivain, que Marina Tsvétaïeva entre en correspondance avec celui qui incarne la poésie, le grand Rainer Maria Rilke. "Poétesse-née", d'après les mots de Pasternak, elle séduit Rilke et leurs échanges deviennent très vite aussi amoureux que poétiques. Leur correspondance ne durera que quatre petits mois, entre mai et septembre 1926. Elle s'arrête brutalement, avec la maladie de Rilke et sa mort le 29 décembre 1926, sans qu'ils n'aient pu jamais se rencontrer.

Carl Lavin was a high school senior when Pearl Harbor was attacked.

Following his award-winning turn on his hometown of Dodge City, Rebein takes us back to the high plains world where his family has farmed and ranched since the 1920s.

"Lorsque j'ai reçu votre première lettre, chère amie, je vous ai répondu immédiatement. Avoir de vos nouvelles plus de trente ans après m'a procuré une telle émotion que ma réaction ne pouvait être qu'un cri instantané. Votre deuxième lettre, que j'ai sous les yeux, je l'ai gardée longtemps avec moi, c'est seulement aujourd'hui que je tente de vous donner une réponse. La raison de ce retard, vous l'avez sans doute devinée, puisque votre missive contient une singulière requête : 'Parlez-moi de l'âme'..."
