Títulos em Memórias, Diários e Correspondência

C.S. Lewis novamente comunica sabedoria profunda, desta vez por meio de vinte e duas cartas entre correspondentes fictícios nas quais compartilha sua compreensão do papel da oração em nossa vida e as maneiras pelas quais podemos imaginar melhor nosso relacionamento com Deus.

Louise et Madeleine. Deux écrivaines, deux générations. L'une écrit pour fuguer, l'autre fugue pour écrire. L'une débute dans l'écriture, l'autre n'écrit plus. À travers une correspondance intime, elles partagent leurs doutes face à la création et à leurs vies de femmes artistes, d'épouses et de mères. Être prête à décevoir, à déplaire, à oser dire ce que l'on pense et à faire ce qui doit être fait pour devenir la personne que l'on devait être.

To the world, he was Dr. Sacks, the brilliant neurologist behind bestselling books like Musicophilia and The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat. To professor Susan Barry, he became Dear Oliver—her mentor, friend, and confidant over the course of their ten-year correspondence.

В Дневнике писателя, не имеющим аналогов в русской и зарубежной публицистике, Достоевский напрямую общается с читателями и словно приглашает присоединиться к обсуждению глубоких тем, которым посвящено все его творчество: человек и Бог, добро и зло, свобода и судьба России. В заметках 1876 года особое внимание он уделяет анализу мировой политики того времени и духовных болезней русского общества, оказавшемся во многом пророческим. А результатом его размышлений можно считать впервые опубликованную в ноябрьской главе повесть Кроткая, где писатель исследует отношения тирана и жертвы на примере обычной семьи.

"Moglie mia, ti dico che sto bene e sono vivo, e vedo morire e morire ogni giorno." Tra il 1914 e il 1918 un’unica trincea divide e unisce l’Europa e il mondo: per la prima volta nella storia moderna, infatti, dalla Francia al Medio Oriente uomini di ogni estrazione culturale e sociale si trovano a condividere – gli uni contro gli altri, gli uni come gli altri – le medesime misere condizioni di vita sui campi di battaglia, le medesime paure, la medesima vicinanza con la violenza e la morte.

The comprehensive collection of letters spanning the adult life of one of the world’s greatest storytellers, now revised and expanded to include more than 150 previously unseen letters, with revealing new insights into The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion.

A collection of short stories about turning setback into comebacks. Author Troy Harris II was only sure of two things: he was uncomfortable, and in what seemed like a truly foreign land. As it turns out, he was just home less in Dallas....

The largest gathering of Union and Confederate veterans ever held was front-page news throughout the country. “[It] will be talked about and written about as long as the American people boast of the dauntless courage of Gettysburg,” declared a woman who accompanied her father to the reunion. But as the years passed, the memorable event was all but forgotten. John Hopkins’s The World Will Never See the Like: The Gettysburg Reunion of 1913 goes a long way toward making sure the world will remember.

“I do not want people to be very agreeable, as it saves me the trouble of liking them a great deal.” Jane Austen at her witty, observant, intelligent, and sympathetic best, in this collection of her letters written to family and friends. Compiled by her niece Fanny Knight’s son Edward Hugessen Knatchbull-Hugessen (the first Baron Brabourne), and edited by Sarah Chauncey Woolsey, this collection includes a preface written by the editor and notes from Lord Brabourne. It was originally published in 1892.

Powerful, haunting, and unforgettable, this remarkable gathering of original documents, including never-before-published letters and papers, creates a day-by-day eyewitness account of the monumental collision at Gettysburg, in the words of the commanders, soldiers, politicians, and civilians from both the North and the South who experienced firsthand the changing course of the Civil War. New York Times bestselling and award-winning historian and author Allen C. Guelzo delivers an invaluable and sobering firsthand perspective of the Civil War’s turning point.

Chi è più santo tra san Tommaso e san Domenico? Agli ebrei convertiti ricresce il prepuzio? Come fu che il papa prese come animale da compagnia un elefante? Nel 1507 Johannes Pfefferkorn, un ebreo convertito spalleggiato dai teologi dell’Università di Colonia, pubblica un libello ferocemente antigiudaico: tra le sue proposte, privare gli ebrei della loro identità culturale confiscandone e distruggendone i testi sacri. A contrastare lo sconsiderato disegno è Johannes Reuchlin, il maggior ebraista del tempo, che nella violentissima polemica finisce persino accusato di eresia.

Jack Kerouac’s archive is vast. Throughout his life he was constantly writing, and he meticulously saved and catalogued his material. The result is that beyond the work published in his lifetime there has been a rich stream of posthumous writing that is far from tapped. This collection of previously unpublished writing culled from the Kerouac archive, and as a companion to Paul Maher Jr.'s Becoming Kerouac, spans Kerouac’s adult life, from a journal written at age seventeen to autobiographical reflections a few years before his death.

Sie war so kompliziert wie ein Puzzle, das aus Tausenden Stücken zusammengesetzt ist - und ich mußte diese Teile finden und ineinanderfügen", schreibt Angelika Schrobsdorff über ihre Mutter. Die Teile, die sie benutzt, sind Briefe, Fotoalben, Erinnerungen von Freunden und für die spätere Zeit gemeinsam gelebtes Leben. Begonnen hat alles voller Harmonie in einem begüterten jüdischen Geschäftshaus im Berlin des Jahrhundertbeginns.

Mediante veintitrés cartas dirigidas a su amigo y confidente Germán Arciniegas, Emma Reyes asumió el arduo ejercicio de narrar los giros y adversidades que vivió durante su infancia. Estos textos, escritos entre 1969 y 1997, son una conmovedora mezcla de inocencia y serenidad ante la tragedia, y articulan magistralmente un relato personal que evoca el duro contexto de la Colombia de la segunda y tercera décadas del siglo xx.

MicroDosis es un diario escrito durante los dos últimos años en el que Enrique Bunbury decide experimentar en su conciencia la ingesta de microdosis de psilocibina. El género elegido por el autor para narrar este viaje interior es la poesía. De esta forma Bunbury consolida su incursión en la literatura tras la aparición en 2021 de su primer poemario Exilio Topanga (La Bella Varsovia) sumando a los rasgos estéticos presentes en aquel una atmósfera de psicodelia y una crítica a "la norma mental" del sistema.

When newly commissioned Royal Engineers Second Lieutenant Lawrence (Tommy) Bond was ordered overseas in February 1943, he left behind his wife Millicent and their two small children. They would not be reunited for more than two and a half years. How, in those pre-internet days, did they not only hold their marriage and their family together but plan their post-war future? The answer is, of course, that, like tens of thousands of others in that and every previous war, they wrote letters; literally hundreds of letters.

These letters between the pioneering environmentalist and her beloved friend reveal "a vibrant, caring woman behind the scientist" (Los Angeles Times). This very special collection of letters from Rachel Carson to her Maine summer neighbor Dorothy Freeman offers an intimate, spellbinding look at Carson's private life and thoughts.

A collection of Jackson's letters from prison, Soledad Brother is an outspoken condemnation of the racism of white America and a powerful appraisal of the prison system that failed to break his spirit but eventually took his life. Jackson's letters make palpable the intense feelings of anger and rebellion that filled Black men in America's prisons in the 1960s. But even removed from the social and political firestorms of the 1960s, Jackson's story still resonates for its portrait of a man taking a stand even while locked down.

After the death of his brother, Warren Lewis lived at The Kilns in Oxford, edited his famous brother's letters, and did a little writing of his own. Then he got a letter from a stranger on the far side of the world. Over the years that followed, he and Blanche Biggs, a missionary in Papua New Guinea, shared a vibrant correspondence. These conversations encompassed their views on faith, their politics, their humor, the legacy of C. S. Lewis, and their own trials and longings.
