A master strategist and tireless activist, Bayard Rustin is best remembered as the organizer of the 1963 March on Washington, one of the largest nonviolent protests ever held in the United States. He brought Gandhi's protest techniques to the American civil rights movement and played a deeply influential role in the life of Martin Luther King, Jr., helping to mold him into an international symbol of nonviolence.

Marcel Proust fut un correspondant maniaque. Dès l'enfance, puis dans le monde, jusqu'à sa mort, sans trêve il a écrit : à ses proches, à ses amis, aux lecteurs de ses livres, à ses éditeurs, ses banquiers... Les milliers de lettres qu'il a écrites traitent des sujets les plus variés : souvenirs, confidences intimes, politique, impressions de lecture, critiques d'art. Ce livre audio rassemble ses premières lettres depuis son enfance jusqu'à son adolescence.

Un Mirage. Un Ancrage. Un Souvenir. Et puis, peut-être, certainement, une disparition, une dissolution. Jouant de mémoires et de rêves, danseuse de guérison et d'être, dans le voilage coloré du temps et de l'ailleurs, sur la vague, dans la vague, à travers la vague des émotions, au creux du coeur et de l'âme, Lucie fuit, cherche, appelle, retrouve, surnage, danse, guérit, erre et assouvit le désir d'un autre monde, d'un autre soi. Transcender le temps, le mental et l'ombre. Devenir Une.

To You is an assortment of letters that reminisce what once was and holds dear to everyone left behind. On foreign land, these letters symbolized a home retold. They have no address or name attached, but they are written to you and are for you. Within them is a discovery of hope, of ease, of self-love that would prevail over the loneliness of being far and alone. When there came days when she could not confide in anyone, these pages were her voice, and now they are yours.

受けいれがたい別れがやってきても、人生は続く。喪失を抱えて生きるすべての人へ——。 大切な存在を喪ったとき、人はどのように生きていけばいいのか。『猫と生きる。』『イオビエ』の著者・猫沢エミと、『妻が余命宣告されたとき、僕は保護犬を飼うことにした』の著者・小林孝延が、パリと東京を結び、喪失と再生について言葉を交わす往復書簡。

Letter writing is more than communication—it’s connection, reflection, and sometimes even transformation. A letter is a piece of yourself, preserved in ink and paper, that says, “I cared enough to take the time.” In a time of auto-corrected feelings and fleeting texts, A Life in Letters is a bold return to what’s real. Award-winning educator and storyteller Ronda Beaman shares the letters she never sent—but needed to write. Honest, heartfelt, and sometimes hilariously raw, these notes of recognition, regret, and release trace a life lived fully and felt deeply.
