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.

Edward "Ned" Kelly (1854 -1880) was the last and most celebrated Australian bushranger (outlaw). After being implicated in the shooting of three policemen at Stringybark Creek in October, 1878, Kelly and his gang were declared by the Victorian government to be outlaws, and were the subjects of an extensive manhunt over the next two years.

When I ask my online friend for legal advice, the last thing I expect is for the sexy single dad to show up in this dinky town in person. Or that I would take one look at his stern face and want to climb Arden McRae like a tree. Kissing Arden is pure impulse. But stepping into his high-society world means more than learning to read a menu in French.

By the early 1890’s Kate's short stories were published nationally. With this widespread audience also came negative reviews, controversy, and cries of immorality as themes such as interracial relationships, the rights of women and other burning issues of the day were written about.

Salt Letters to a Younger Me is a tender correspondence between memory and tide—a series of lyrical letters written by a marine biologist to his younger self. Each letter drifts between science and solitude, salt and sorrow, tracing how the sea mirrors the human heart: its erosion, its return, its endless capacity to begin again. Through quiet observations of coral bleaching, migrating whales, and the hush of coastal dawns, the narrator learns that every loss leaves behind a mineral trace—something that glimmers even after grief recedes.

Told through a mix of true stories and new fiction, Dear Orchid opens the heart in unexpected ways: through loss and love, silence and recovery, and the hard-won resilience of people who don’t always fit the mold. With tenderness and heart, Dear Orchid is an Asian American author's homage to Mary-Louise Parker’s Dear Mr. You, through letters to a girl newly freed from East Berlin, an aunt lost to Communist-era borders, and Purple Heart-decorated heroes. These intimate portraits explore the messy beauty of friendship, family, disability, and belonging.

There are a great many perks that go along with having your very own Billionheir Intern. There's the Bentley, the driver, the chef, and of course, the Dishwashing Sikh Bodyguard. But it's Mixerman's newfound position as Guru to his charismatic Billionheir Kanish Kanish that proves most rewarding.

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.

Friedrich Nietzsche gilt bis heute als Spitze der philosophischen Nahrungskette. Sein umfassendes Werk deckt wissenschaftliche, künstlerische, philosophische und philologische Schriften ab. Nietzsche beeinflusste Maler, Literaten, Musiker, Wissenschaftler und Künstler aller sogenannten Genres und birgt nach wie vor gesellschaftliches Dynamit. Gerade wegen der Zeitlosigkeit und Aktualität seiner Schriften haben es keinerlei Gruppierungen jeglicher Art versäumt, sich schamlos an aus dem Zusammenhang gerissenen Formulierungen Nietzsches zu bedienen und auf ihre Fahnen zu schmieren.

O livro, que à primeira vista pode parecer seguir a tradição da prosa moralista, com intenção doutrinária, configurada em um manual de conduta, foi escrito pela autora para sua filha, Livia, e revela-se como um manifesto feminista, que defende a educação e a emancipação feminina em uma época em que a sociedade patriarcal não encontrava oposição. Escrito em formato epistolar, a carta escrita de mãe para filha em tom afetuoso elenca os direitos e virtudes das mulheres no mundo oitocentista, sem deixar de alertar sobre os perigos de relações falsas e a importância das boas escolhas.

À travers ces lettres poétiques émouvantes, envoyées pour la plupart à son Bien-Aimé, une histoire d’Amour se dessine, une histoire qui n’a pas pu se vivre sur Terre mais qui perdure après la mort de l’Aimé. Certaines lettres, mises en chanson, toujours écrites de façon simple et vivante, racontent la joie, la force du désir mais aussi le manque de l’Aimé, le doute, l’incompréhension avec toujours l’Amour en toile de fond.

Das Jahr 1797 ist im Schaffen von Goethe und Schiller nicht nur ein überaus produktives Jahr, sondern auch ein Jahr, in dem zu großen Teilen einige ihrer späterhin bekanntesten und meist gelesenen Texte entstehen. Für beide Dichter ist das Nachdenken über diesen Gegenstand von höchster praktischer Bedeutung. Während Goethe das schnell anwachsende Material seiner Faust-Tragödie dramatisch zu verdichten sucht, arbeitet Schiller an seinem Drama «Wallenstein», das über die Monate hin zu monumentaler Größe anschwillt.

Good Night… Whispers of the Heart is a collection of real love notes covering different themes, all thoughtfully composed for the private listening of a partner. What you find here are examples of love notes that could be found in bedrooms, safety deposit boxes, and even the proverbial 20th-21st century shoe boxes — all lost to time and rich in meaning.

Mary fears she’s losing the two people she most admires—her lover and her father—after she’s lost her reputation. She regains them with the publication of Frankenstein. As Scott is crafting his biography of the Shelleys and Godwins a century later, he fears that he’s losing his audience and his wife. He regains them with the publication of his other “work” he’s authoring at the same—The Great Gatsby. As eternal celebrities of Western culture—the Shelleys, the Godwins, and the Fitzgeralds—their brief victories are dramatically retold in What Light Was as dialogues, verse, and meditations.

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.

"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.
