They opened up, in ways they never had, to interviewer Jane Graham, reflecting on their lives and themselves with affection, sympathy and sometimes disbelief.

Union General William Tecumseh Sherman came right through her yard on their march to the sea in 1864, just as they had other plantations. But the widow mistress of Georgia's Burge Plantation was no typical southern belle. She was a Maine-born transplant with 100 slaves. Here, in Dolly Sumner Lunt's own words, is a description of those days as she watched everything she had and believed in being threatened by an army she described as invaders.

A wonderfully written account of a father's relationship with his troubled son, as told through his funny, tender letters. In 2007 Michael Maitland left home for university, and in the years that followed he developed depression, OCD and, almost fatally, anorexia. It was only when Michael was taken to hospital in 2012, his body shutting down and his organs failing, that the family realised exactly what was happening.

Funny, poignant and reflective, The Weight of a Cherry Blossom is a fable of rootlessness and belonging in the modern world. It is equal parts a story of urban loneliness and self-discovery and of the healing powers of kinship and love. Revisiting the awkwardness of adolescence and the chaos of growing up, it looks the foibles of adulthood irreverently in the eye.

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".

Born in Edinburgh, Naomi Mitchison spent most of the Second World War in the fishing village of Carradale on Kintyre, her home until her death aged 101. Her life was crowded with incident, and her attitudes to events predictably forceful, original and honest. Throughout the war she kept a diary at the request of the research organisation Mass Observation, in which she recorded both the momentous events of the time, and also how one family and their friends lived, what they hoped for and what actually happened. Her diaries developed far beyond the confines of a social document.

La presencia de diversos personajes, como una abuela furibunda y su hermana "libertina", salpica de humor, pero también de fragilidad, las páginas de esta obra que se borda entre el sueño y la vigilia. León de Lidia es un libro inclasificable con historias autónomas, un cuaderno de imágenes y dibujos, una colección de retratos familiares o imaginarios y, sobre todo, una conmovedora novela fragmentaria en la que Myriam Moscona asume las marcas de su singularidad estética. Con una prosa decantada que abreva de su herencia mexicana, búlgara y sefardí...

"В читателях моих писем я представляю себе друзей. Письма к друзьям позволяют мне писать просто. Сперва я пишу о цели и смысле жизни, о красоте поведения, а потом перехожу к красоте окружающего нас мира, к красоте, открывающейся нам в произведениях искусства." (Д. С. Лихачев).

Die eindringliche und bewegende Autobiographie eines furchtlosen Oppositionsführers, der den höchsten Preis für seine Überzeugungen zahlen musste. Nawalny begann mit der Arbeit an PATRIOT im Jahr 2020, kurz nach dem Giftanschlag auf ihn. Es ist die umfassende Geschichte seines Lebens: seine Jugend, seine Berufung zum Aktivisten, seine Ehe und Familie sowie sein Einsatz für Demokratie und Freiheit in Russland angesichts einer Supermacht, die ihn unbedingt zum Schweigen bringen will. PATRIOT zeigt Nawalnys absolute Überzeugung: Der Wandel ist nicht aufzuhalten. Er wird kommen.

Como esas embriagantes versiones en español de las baladas románticas premiadas en San Remo o Viña, estos Temas lentos, elegantes y sensuales, captan con la crítica, el diario íntimo o la viñeta satírica las modulaciones de las vanguardias (Duchamp y Warhol, ¡claro!, pero también Aira y Bolaño, Brecht y Beckett...) aplicadas a cuestiones pedestres: la orfandad, el inverosímil costumbrista de una Alemania costera.

Ruskin Bond is most at home in his cosy room in Landour, a room with a window—from which he looks out on the world. A room where he writes his daily journal. In these leaves from his journal, written over the past two years, Ruskin describes his days in his unique way: from the joy of seeing a new flower bloom to the pain of a toothache that just can't be ignored. Outside, the seasons change. In his room, for Ruskin, every morning brings new thoughts, new observations.

Margaret Kennedy was an acclaimed novelist and playwright best-known for The Constant Nymph. In this autobiographical account, taken from her war diaries, she conveys the tension, frustration, and bewilderment of the progression of the war, and the terror of knowing that the worst is to come, but not yet knowing what the worst will be. English bravery, confusion, stubbornness, and dark humor provide the more hopeful side of her experiences, in which she and her children move from Surrey to Cornwall, to sit out the war amidst a quietly efficient Home Guard and the most scandalous rumors.

1930 kaufte die Schriftstellerin Vita Sackville-West mit ihrem Ehemann Harold Nicolson die Ruine von Schloss Sissinghurst in Kent, um dort einen Garten zu erschaffen. Heute bewundern jährlich 160.000 Menschen ihr Lebenswerk.

Para los lectores, hay pocas experiencias tan asombrosas e inolvidables como la primera lectura de Kafka. No importa lo que uno haya leído antes: cruzarse con una de sus novelas o cuentos, con un fragmento de sus diarios, es aprender a leer de un modo nuevo. La prosa precisa y de resonancias alegóricas; la capacidad para urdir tramas perfectas donde la lógica de la pesadilla convive con el grotesco; el modo de narrar la inapelable arbitrariedad del poder; el don único de volver verosímil lo que en principio parece imposible de alcanzar ese estatuto.

The love affair is over, but you just don't get it. Everything was great. You know deep in your heart how you felt.
