Ta książka to szczęście w czystej postaci - najlepsza w chwili, gdy życie za bardzo doskwiera. Obie ulepione ze słabości: do kanapy, do rodziny, do prysznica, który oczyszcza z codziennych strachów. Już nic nie muszą: nie muszą wygłaszać poglądów i nie muszą ich nie wygłaszać, nie muszą być śliczne ani dobrze wypaść, nie muszą wypowiadać złotych myśli, ba! w ogóle mogą z zachwytem pomilczeć. Chcą natomiast: kochać, dbać o przyjaciół, pielęgnować umysł, żeby jak najdłużej cieszyć się życiem i nie być ciężarem dla otoczenia.

La dernière guerre, Marguerite Duras l'a vécue tout à la fois comme femme dont le mari avait été déporté, comme résistante, mais aussi comme écrivain. Lucide, étonnée, désespérée parfois, elle a pendant ces années tenu un journal, écrit des textes que lui inspiraient tout ce qu'elle voyait, ce qu'elle vivait, les gens qu'elle rencontrait ou affrontait. Ce sont des extraits de son journal, que Marguerite Duras a réunis dans un recueil de nouvelles, "La douleur". La première d'entre elles porte le même titre. Adeline d'Hermy a choisi de la lire.

Described as "the first blogger", Mary MacLane lived a tortured life, ahead of her time. Her beloved father died when she was a young child, and at the age of eight, her stepfather moved the family from its home in Winnipeg, Canada, to Montana in the United States, where young Mary had a hard time making friends. Her sensational autobiographical style of writing was considered scandalous, as she told of her bohemian lifestyle, feminist politics, and open bisexuality.

In questo audiolibro potrete acoltarne una selezione: arrivano da tutto il mondo e, per lo più, chi le scrive ha un dramma simile da raccontare, piccoli episodi di sofferenza quotidiana da comunicare, una timidezza da spezzare.

It came from a woman whose daughter, Jenny, was in a coma as a result of severe injuries caused by a drunk driver.

Johann Peter Eckermann war einer der engsten Vertrauten Goethes: Zwischen 1823 und 1832 führte er zahlreiche Gespräche mit dem alten Dichterfürsten, die er anschließend in einem umfangreichen und vielbeachteten Werk zusammenstellte und kommentierte. Darin zeichnet Eckermann anhand ihrer Unterhaltungen über Kunst, Wissenschaft und das Leben ein messerscharfes Bild von Goethe: als "vielschichtigen Diamanten, der nach jeder Richtung eine andere Farbe spiegelt".

Gaston Gallimard (1881-1975), fondateur des Éditions de la Nouvelle Revue française avec André Gide et Jean Schlumberger, confia un jour à Jean Cau qu'il n'écrirait jamais ses mémoires d'éditeur, craignant de ruiner sa maison en disant tout ce qu'il y avait vu et tout ce qu'il savait des mœurs et pratiques de la vie littéraire. Il ne les écrivit pas et, pour finir, se confia peu.
