Born in 1875, the great German lyric poet Rainer Maria Rilke published his first collection of poems in 1898, and went on to become renowned for his delicate depiction of the workings of the human heart. Drawn by some sympathetic note in his poems, young people often wrote to Rilke with their problems and hopes. From 1903 to 1908, Rilke wrote a series of remarkable responses to a young, would-be poet on poetry and on surviving as a sensitive observer in a harsh world. Those letters, still a fresh source of inspiration and insight, are accompanied here by a chronicle of Rilke's life.

Новеллы Стефана Цвейга. Золотая классика европейского психологического реализма начала XX века. Их экранизировали гении европейского и американского кино времен его «золотого века»: Роберт Ланд и Макс Офюльс, Этьен Перье и Роберт Сьодмак. На них выросли поколения европейских и российских читателей. Каждая из этих новелл и сейчас восхищает, повергает в ярость, заставляет спорить с автором и его героями, любить их и ненавидеть, осуждать и прощать. Секрет подобного "нестарения" новелл Цвейга прост — автор неизменно писал о страсти.

Transcender le temps, le mental et l'ombre. Devenir Une.
