Durante as décadas de 1860 e 1870, o Caso Tichborne gerou comoção no Reino Unido com uma trama de identidades falsas, disputa de riquezas e tensões colonialistas. O Requerente alegava ser Sir Roger Tichborne, herdeiro de uma grande fortuna. A defesa, porém, tentava provar que o homem não passava de um golpista. O julgamento se torna uma obsessão na casa do romancista William Harrison Ainsworth. Especialmente para Sarah, sua ex-criada e agora segunda esposa, que crê sem ressalvas na versão dos fatos oferecida pelo Requerente, e para Eliza Touchet, governanta e amante ocasional do escritor.

Em 1922, Virginia Woolf publicava seu terceiro romance, considerado pela crítica um ponto de inflexão na sua carreira. Em O quarto de Jacob, o personagem-título é a presença de uma ausência. Da infância na praia à juventude em Cambridge, sua personalidade é entrevista por mulheres que atravessam sua vida, da mãe a uma namorada. Este romance sinaliza o momento em que Virginia Woolf abandonou dispositivos realistas e abraçava—não sem ressalvas—a influência do modernismo de James Joyce, que lançava Ulysses naquele ano.

Neste Sanduíche de anzóis, Paulo Scott reúne sua produção poética dos últimos 25 anos, mas não apenas isso: ao revisitar seus textos, ele reescreve, corta, repensa, reorganiza, criando uma nova obra, totalmente reinventada, e independente de seus livros anteriores. Sua linguagem, trabalhada ao longo de décadas, é combativa, desafia o esperado. Girando em torno do amor, da revolta e da loucura—há também um breve e potente manifesto contra o novo fascismo—esta inédita coleção marca sua sólida trajetória como um dos poetas mais singulares da atualidade.

يعد هذا الكتاب آخر كلمات جبران خليل جبران التي لفظها قبل أن يغادر هذا العالم، فبه ترك صفحات غنيّة بالرأي للقارئ، وتحفل بالفكر، وتزخر بالصراع الذي تضطرم به نفس الإنسان. ولقد خط جبران هذا كله بعد أن وصل إلى زبدة أفكاره، لذا يعتبر هذا الكتاب من أهم ما يُعنى به الدارسون لحياة جبران خليل جبران. وهو عبارة عن حواريّة شعريّة تدور بين ثلاث شخصيّات يغلب عليها الاتجاه الروحاني، ويطلق عليها جبران تسمية آلهة الأرض، وذلك في رؤيا فلسفيّة رائعة للطّبيعة وعناصرها.

هذا الكتاب الذي تم جمعه بعد وفاة الكاتب جبران خليل جبران يضم عدد الرسائل وبرقية أرسلها جبران إلى مي زيادة عندما كان في نيويورك. وسمي هذا الكتاب بالشعلة الزرقاء بعد أن ألهمت الرسالة الأخيرة جامع الكتاب لهذه التسمية، وقد كانت هذه الرسالة موجزة ومعبرة ورمزية، كما هو جبران عادةً، فهي كناية عن لوحة ليد مبسوطة تخرج منها شعلةٌ زرقاء كتب عليها "من جبران إلى ماري" وتم تأريخها بـ 26/ آذار/ 1931، مما يعني أنها آخر ما خطه جبران قبل وفاته بأسبوعين. الحب الذي نشأ بين جبران خليل جبران ومي زيادة حب أفلاطوني نادر، لم يكن مثله عبر التاريخ، وبالأخص تاريخ الأدب، ولم يكن مثلهما أي عاشق.
