Adrian Ludwig Richter (Geboren: 28. September 1803 in Dresden; Verstorben: 19. Juni 1884 ebenda) war ein bedeutender Maler und Zeichner der Spätromantik und des Biedermeiers. Berühmt geworden ist er vor allem durch seine Illustrationen von Märchen- und Volksbüchern. Eigentlich aber verstand Ludwig Richter sich als Maler, und zwar als "Landschafter". Deshalb nannte er seine Lebenserinnerungen auch ausdrücklich die eines Malers.

Over Time: My Life as a Sportswriter is as unconventional and wide-ranging as Frank Deford's remarkable career, in which he has chronicled the heroes and the characters of just about every sport in nearly every medium. Deford joined Sports Illustrated in 1962, fresh, and fresh out of Princeton. In 1990, he was Editor-in-Chief of The National Sports Daily, one of the most ambitious and ill-fated projects in the history of American print journalism.

Ein kleines Buch über Kummer, das erstaunlich gute Laune macht. "Alle wirken innerlich blitzblank, nur in unserem Inneren sieht es aus wie bei Hempels unterm Sofa", denkt sich Kioskbesitzer Armin, als er vergeblich versucht, erfolgreich zu meditieren. Und auch im Inneren der anderen Figuren dieser literarischen Kolumnen herrscht Unordnung: Frau Wiese kann nicht mehr schlafen, Herr Pohl ist nachhaltig verzagt, Lisa hat ihren ersten Liebeskummer, Vadims Hände zittern, Frau Schwerter muss ganz dringend entspannen, ein trauriger Patient hat seine Herde verloren, und Psychoanalytiker Ulrich legt sich mit der Vergänglichkeit an.

This is the first of a series of essays to explore the age-old art of BS. What is BS? How can one master the art of BS? When, where, and how is BS appropriate? A tongue-in-cheek cultural and literary analysis of the history and nature of BS as an art form. Author and narrator Dan Sullivan tackles the subject in his customarily zany way, mixing anecdote, history, science, and of course, biology.

Un'ereditiera californiana viene rapita dall'Esercito di liberazione simbionese, diventa l'amante di uno dei terroristi e terrorista lei stessa, poi sposa la sua guardia del corpo e va a vivere con figli e cani in una casa finto-spagnola iper-blindata. Una banchiera d'affari di Manhattan mentre fa jogging a Central Park viene aggredita da sei adolescenti neri e ispanici, stuprata, torturata con dei rami e ridotta in fin di vita.

“I don’t want to be remembered for One Hundred Years of Solitude or for the Nobel Prize, but rather for my journalism,” Gabriel García Márquez said in the final years of his life. And while some of his journalistic writings have been made available over the years, this is the first volume to gather a representative selection from across the first four decades of his career - years during which he worked as a full-time, often muckraking, and controversial journalist, even as he penned the fiction that would bring him the Nobel Prize in 1982.

A collection of magazine writer Jon Bradshaw’s essential writings, The Ocean Is Closed rediscovers a memorable talent, and offers us a shadow reality to the established literary canon of the mid-century. With droll wit and keen intelligence, Bradshaw’s cinematic prose brings the ’70s to vibrant life.

Hollywood vs. The Author is a collection of non-fiction anecdotes by authors who’ve had the pleasure of experiencing the development room firsthand - some who have successfully managed to straddle the two worlds, seeing their works morph into the kinds of feature films and TV shows that make them proud, and others who stepped blindsided into that room after selling their first or second novels. All the stories in this collection illustrate the great divide between the world of literature and the big or small screen.

El mundo que habitó Ramón López Velarde, quebrado por la Revolución mexicana y por la separación sibilina entre la provincia y la metrópoli fingida oposición entre costumbre y decadencia-, es uno de los periodos más complejos de la historia de México. Contubernio de voces, reflejo plural de una época convulsa, elaboración de la provincia "diamantina".

«Estas conferencias se titulan Confesiones de un joven novelista, y cabría preguntarse por qué, teniendo en cuenta que ya he cumplido más de setenta años. Pero resulta que publiqué mi primera novela, El nombre de la rosa, en 1980, de modo que empecé mi carrera como novelista hace cosa de treinta años. Me considero, por lo tanto, un novelista muy joven y ciertamente prometedor».

Previously published as A Private War, Marie Brenner’s Richard Jewell tells a gripping true story of heroism and injustice. In the early morning hours of July 27, 1996, three pipe bombs exploded at the Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia, killing one person and injuring 111 others. Hundreds more potential casualties were prevented by the vigilance and quick actions of security guard Richard Jewell, who uncovered the bombs and began evacuating the area. But no good deed goes unpunished. Investigators and journalists pursued Jewell as a potential suspect.
