H.C. Andersen og Søren Kierke­gaard rejser sammen ned gennem Europa sidst i 1849 med Rom som endemål. Undervejs udveksler det umage par tanker om kærligheden, angsten, glæden, selvet, døden og livet derefter, men berører også deres kunstneriske virksomhed og den udeblevne anerkendelse, pressens tilta­gen­de dominans og den vildtvoksende natur­videnskab, folkestyrets frem­march og kristen­dommens krise.

World War II rises in its vastness and complexity over the rest of human history. A number of victims difficult to conceive, never surpassed by any other conflict - this is an insurmountable encyclopedia on war. This diary of the Second World War has been able to cover all facets of the conflict, and it is a fundamentally empirical work that narrates events as they occurred. This episode contains, day by day, the month of October 1941.

Das Ur-Wikileaks aus ersten Händen - ebenso gefürchtet, und noch fünfzig Jahre nach dem Tod der "Menschensammler" verboten und verfolgt. Der Name Goncourt ist den meisten Literaturliebhabern nur noch im Zusammenhang mit dem alljährlich vergebenen Prix Goncourt bekannt, der höchsten Auszeichnung, die in Frankreich ein neues literarisches Werk erreichen kann. Doch die Brüder waren nicht nur Gründer der Académie Goncourt, sie nahmen auch sehr freizügig am kulturellen und gesellschaftlichen Leben im pulsierenden Paris teil.

Окаянные дни - это по сути дневниковые записи Ивана Алексеевича Бунина сделанные им на фоне событий, разворачивавшихся в России во время революции и последовавшей за ней гражданской войны. Книгу условно можно разделить на три части: наблюдений автора за происходящим в Москве в 1918 году, в Одессе в 1919 году и выдержки из последующих заметок, имеющих отношение к теме революции. Первые части книги показывают нам положение постоянной неопределенности, с которой сталкивалось большинство людей: угрозы голода, погромов.

Essayist. Preservationist. Mountain man. Inventor. John Muir may be California’s best-known icon. A literary naturalist and founder of the Sierra Club and Yosemite National Park, Muir left his legacy on the landscape and on paper. But the celebrity of John Muir does not tell the whole story. In Essential Muir, for the first time, Muir's selected writings include those that show his ecological vision without ignoring his racism, providing a more complete portrait of the man.

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.

I 1906 drog den grønlandske polarforsker og opdagelsesrejsende Jørgen Brønlund (1877-1907) afsted på en livsfarlig ekspedition i det nordøstlige Grønland sammen med lægen Ludvig Mylius-Erichsen og kartografen Niels Peter Høeg Hagen. Ekspeditionen gik ikke som planlagt. Rejsekammeraterne kunne ikke finde vej og omkom en efter en af sult, kulde og udmattelse. Jørgen Brønlund var den sidste, der døde, og sammen med hans lig fandt man efterfølgende hans dagbøger og Niels Peter Høeg Hagens kortoptegnelser.

The Storm of Steel is a first-hand account of World War I trench combat lifted from the diaries of Ernst Junger, a German infantryman who would become one of Europe's most renowned writers. The book was first translated into English in 1929 by Basil Creighton, the acclaimed translator of many other classic works of German literature, and was widely hailed as a masterpiece. To many, The Storm of Steel remains the definitive account of World War I, following Junger through several major battles as he develops from an eager young soldier into a battle-hardened officer.

Described as "the first blogger", Mary MacLane lived a tortured life, ahead of her time. Her beloved father died when she was a young child, and at the age of eight, her stepfather moved the family from its home in Winnipeg, Canada, to Montana in the United States, where young Mary had a hard time making friends.
