This new, select edition of Wilfred Owen''s letters provides a fresh understanding of the poet''s life in his own words.Wilfred Owen''s fame as one of the great war poets of the twentieth century is unsurpassed, with Dulce et Decorum est possibly the defining piece of World War literature.Owen''s letters reveal the man behind the cultural icon; human with all his foibles, whose 25 years were marked by great highs and lows, by emerging modernity, and the violence of war. Evocative, lyrical, and often surprisingly funny, the letters act as both autobiography and companion to the famous war poems. He was both an accomplished poet and one of the finest letter-writers of the twentieth century.Accompanied by new notes and new introduction, as well as previously redacted and omitted material, the new edition of Owen''s Selected Letters brings together past and contemporary scholarship to provide fresh insights into Owen''s character and poetic development.

''Dangerous as lucifer matches.''That was how Arthur Nicholls, Charlotte Brontë''s husband for the last nine months of her life, described her letters. Full of acute observations, pithy character sketches, and passionate convictions, the letters are our most direct source of information about the lives of the Brontës and our closest approach to the author of Jane Eyre. In them Charlotte writes of life at Haworth Parsonage, her experiences at a Belgian school, and her intense feelings for the Belgian schoolteacher, M. Heger. She endures the agony of the death of her siblings, and enjoys the success as a writer that brings her into contact with the London literary scene. Vivid and intimate, her letters give fresh insight into the novels, and into the development of her distinct literary style. Margaret Smith''s fine edition includes invaluable notes on Brontë''s correspondents, and Janet Gezari contributes a new introduction that relates the letters to both Brontë''s life and her creative accomplishment.

The letters of Seneca are uniquely engaging among the works that have survived from antiquity. They offer an urgent guide to Stoic self-improvement but also cast light on Roman attitudes towards slavery, gladiatorial combat and suicide. This selection of letters conveys their range and variety, with a particular focus on letters from the earlier part of the collection. As well as a general introduction, it features a brief introductory essay on each letter, which draws out its themes and sets it in context. The commentary explains the more challenging aspects of Seneca''s Latin. It also casts light on his engagement with Stoic (and Epicurean) ideas, on the historical context within which the letters were written and on their literary sophistication. This edition will be invaluable for undergraduate and graduate students and scholars of Seneca''s moral and intellectual development.

''You ask what is the proper measure of wealth? The best measure is to have what is necessary, and next best, to have enough. Keep well!''The letters written by the Stoic philosopher and tragedian Seneca to his friend Lucilius are in effect moral essays, whose purpose is to reinforce Lucilius'' struggle to achieve wisdom and serenity, uninfluenced by worldly emotions. Seneca advises his friend on how to do without what is superfluous, whether on the subject of happiness, riches, reputation, or the emotions. The letters include literary critical discussions, moral exhortation, exemplary heroes and episodes from Roman history, and a lurid picture of contemporary luxury. We learn about Seneca''s household and estates and about life in the time of Nero; the topic of death is never far away.This readable new translation is the largest selection of Seneca''s letters currently available. Accompanied by an invaluable introduction and notes, it opens a window on to Seneca''s world.

''Little Matters they are to be sure, but highly important.''Letter-writing was something of an addiction for young women of Jane Austen''s time and social position, and Austen''s letters have a freedom and familiarity that only intimate writing can convey. Wiser than her critics, who were disappointed that her correspondence dwelt on gossip and the minutiae of everyday living, Austen understood the importance of ''Little Matters'', of the emotional and material details of individual lives shared with friends and family through the medium of the letter. Ironic, acerbic, always entertaining, Jane Austen''s letters are a fascinating record not only of her own day-to-day existence, but of the pleasures and frustrations experienced by women of her social class which are so central to her novels.Vivien Jones''s selection includes very nearly two-thirds of Austen''s surviving correspondence, and her lively introduction and notes set the novelist''s most private writings in their wider cultural context.

This new translation of selected letters and essays traces the life and thoughts of this extraordinary writer.

Když se Karola Sidona v polovině sedmdesátých let zeptal Jiří Lederer (v interview pro České rozhovory), co ve své tvorbě myšlenkově sleduje, oč mu jde, Sidon mu zprvu nerozuměl. Lederer se mu tedy snažil pomoci: "Rozumíš, jde mi o to, abys sám sebe interpretoval". A Sidon: "Právě o tohle mi jde: abych sám sebe interpretoval." Ano, opravdu se dá říci, že veškerá Sidonova tvorba je poznamenána hledáním vlastní identity, a proto i snahou nemilosrdně poznat sama sebe, hodnotu svého jednání. Tvorba spisovatele, scénáristy a dramatika Karola Sidona byla u nás v sedmdesátých a osmdesátých letech umlčována, a poté byl Sidon dokonce donucen strávit sedm let v exilu. Nyní je známou osobností nejen díky své umělecké tvorbě, ale i díky svému působení v postavení zemského rabína. Tři hry zařazené v tomto svazku (Labyrint, Shapira a Třináct oken) patří k tomu nejlepšímu, co Karol Sidon napsal.

Karol Sidon, významný český prozaik, dramatik, se ve své publicistické tvorbě šedesátých let zaměřuje na komplexní a překvapivě aktuální témata. Jeho články, publikované v periodikách jako Literární noviny, Sešity či Tvář, jsou charakterizovány kultivovaným stylem a originálními názory. Sidon se nebojí zkoumat bolavá místa československé společnosti, jako jsou romské osady na Slovensku či následky povodní. Vtipně líčí fanouškovství a jeho absurdity (texty o Karlu Gottovi nabraly povahu aféry svého druhu), přičemž se dotýká i těžkých témat, jako je návštěva Osvětimi, kde konfrontuje minulost s přítomností. Mnohé jeho texty reagují na okupaci Československa v roce 1968 a tragédii Jana Palacha, přičemž vyzývají k morální odpovědnosti a osobní statečnosti. Součástí jeho díla jsou také důvěrné rozhovory s významnými literárními osobnostmi, které přinášejí cenné pohledy na dobu. Na závěr Sidon reflektuje víru v Boha, zkoumá otázky spravedlnosti i lidské odpovědnosti a zaměřuje se přitom na židovskou tradici. Celý soubor textů je uspořádán chronologicky, a nabízí tak unikátní pohled na dobu plnou výzev a změn. Sidonova práce je nejen literárním odkazem, ale i důležitým svědectvím o české kultuře a historii.

Knihou Brány mrazu a jiné prózy se k českým čtenářům po letech vrací Karol Sidon jako vynikající prozaik, který se ve svých textech zabývá závažnými tématy: smyslem života, religiozitou a složitostí lidských vztahů; přitom však jeho prózy nikdy nepostrádají humor. Kniha nabízí texty v České republice dosud knižně nevydané. Úvodní povídkový soubor Hluší a slepí, obsahující prózy "Trnavský hřbitov", "Nevyhnutelný příběh" a "Ti, kteří přežijí", má autobiografické ladění. Povídka "Kdo chceš psa bít" se na popisu spolupráce židovské obce s nacistickými orgány dotýká vztahu mezi takzvanou "rozumností" a "bláznovstvím". Povídka "Maminka zpívá druhý hlas" je půvabnou konfrontací autorových dětských představ s dospělou realitou: fantazijní prolnutí obou světů, vyvolané smrtí matky, která patřila do obou jakoby oddělených životů hlavního hrdiny, se dostává na hranici absurdity. Vrcholem knihy je novela "Brány mrazu" s tématem hledání smyslu života, bilancování, samoty, složitého nalézání mezilidských vztahů a víry. Ať už Karol Sidon zůstává ve svých textech pevně nohama na zemi nebo vstupuje do světa fantazie, nikdy nepřestává být autorem bolestivé upřímnosti, hlubokého tázání a krásného českého jazyka.

Přestože Karol Sidon (nar. 1942) patří k neznámějším současným českým spisovatelům, dobrá polovina jeho dramat není známa ani veřejnosti, ani odborníkům. K blížícímu se autorovu jubileu jsme se proto rozhodli uspořádat kompletní vydání jeho divadelních a rozhlasových her. Přítomný soubor tak poprvé představí celé Sidonovo dramatické dílo, včetně her považovaných za ztracené. Publikace ukáže autora jako dramatika neustálých výzev, jehož hry mají široký tematický i žánrově-stylový záběr. Sidon si například vyzkoušel psychologickou dramatickou výpověď (v pozoruhodné "vesnické hře" Zpívej mi na cestu), grotesku z vojenského prostředí (Latríny), "portrétní" hru (jeho nejznámější Shapira), opakovaně hledal vlastní "podání" absurdní hry (zde je třeba poukázat zejména na brilantní, zcela neznámou Etudu o hodináři), s úspěchem se pokusil o dramatickou parafrázi biblických příběhů (purimová hra Ester) nebo o dramatizaci (Komenského Labyrintu).

A phenomenonally precicious schoolboy, Rimbaud was still a teenager when he became notorious as Europe''s most shocking and exhilarating poet. During his brief 5-year reign as the enfant terrible of French literature he produced an extraordinary body of poems that range from the exquisite to the obsene, while simultaneously living a life of dissolute excess with his lover and fellow poet, Verlaine. At the age of 21, he abandonned poetry and travelled across Europe before settling in Africa as an arms trader. This edition sets the two sides of Rimbaud side by side with a sparkling translation of his most exhilarating poetry and a generous selection of the letters from the harsh and colourful period of his life as a colonial trader.

"Odkud ale bere židovská tradice jistotu, že trest, který Izrael postihl, není trvalého charakteru, a že dříve nebo později zcela nezanikne mezi národy? Vždyť národ, zbavený přirozených vazeb, které mu poskytuje společně obývaná země, společný jazyk a zkoušky, jimž je ve své zemi vystavován, je v rozptýlení mezi jinými národy odsouzen k postupné ztrátě identity a rozplynutí se v prostředí, které ho obklopuje." Ve svém nejnovějším eseji Avonam ("jejich vina") se rabín Efraim K.Sidon věnuje tématu, které již více než sto let představuje ohnisko sváru uvnitř tradičního judaismu: je pro Židy z náboženského hlediska přípustné požadovat politickou samostatnost, nebo mají setrvávat ve vyhnanství, aby odčinili svou vinu? Mají trpělivě očekávat příchod Mesiáše, nebo mají právo uspíšit konec diaspory a vyjít sebevědomě vstříc novému věku?

Travelling east, Falx explores the great cultural centre of Athens before trekking into rural Asia (or Turkey as we know it), past the already ancient Luxor monuments in Roman Egypt, and by the Great Library of Alexandria. Travelling west across the breadbasket of the Empire, he journeys through Gaul (France) before crossing to Britannia, where he suffers the worst that provincial life has to offer. Falx provides practical advice on surviving all things travel: from pirates and shipwrecks to bedbugs and lousy food. Even the most sedentary reader will feel they have experienced life in the Empire first-hand.

A new selection of post-impressionist painter Vincent Van Gough''s letters, The Letters of Vincent van Gogh put a human face on one of the most haunting figures in modern Western culture. In this Penguin Classics edition, the letters are selected and edited by Ronald de Leeuw, and translated by Arnold Pomerans in Penguin Classics.Few artists'' letters are as self-revelatory as Vincent van Gogh''s, and this selection, spanning his artistic career, sheds light on every facet of the life and work of this complex and tortured man. Engaging candidly and movingly with his religious struggles, his ill-fated search for love, his attacks of mental illness and his relation with his brother Theo, the letters contradict the popular myth of van Gogh as an anti-social madman and a martyr to art, showing instead a man of great emotional and spiritual depths. Above all, they stand as an intense personal narrative of artistic development and a unique account of the process of creation. The letters are linked by explanatory biographical passages, revealing van Gogh''s inner journey as well as the outer facts of his life.

This Penguin Classics edition is translated with an introduction by Betty Radice.A prominent lawyer and administrator, Pliny was also a prolific letter-writer, who numbered among his correspondents such eminent figures as Tacitus, Suetonius and the Emperor Trajan, as well as a wide circle of friends and family. His lively and very personal letters address an astonishing range of topics, from a deeply moving account of his uncle''s death in the eruption that engulfed Pompeii, to observations on the early Christians - ''a desperate sort of cult carried to extravagant lengths'' - from descriptions of everyday life in Rome, with its scandals and court cases, to Pliny''s life in the country.Betty Radice''s definitive edition was the forst complete modern translation of Pliny''s letters.

Ranging from schoolboy messages to his parents, through letters and carefully-chosen, often embellished postcards to friends, lovers and confidants, to correspondence with patrons and associates. They are peppered with wit, affection and irreverence. Alongside rarely seen photographs and Freud’s extraordinary works, each chapter charts Freud’s evolving art alongside intimate accounts of his life. We trace Freud’s early friendships with Stephen Spender, John Craxton, his wild days at art school in East Anglia, and a stint as a merchant seaman. Among the highlights are Freud’s accounts of his first trip to Paris in 1946 and encounters with Picasso, Alexander Calder and Giacometti (who, he thought, looked like Harpo Marx). Equally revealing are letters to and from his first love, Lorna Wishart and second wife, Caroline Blackwood. Among his ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Tolkien, creator of the languages and history of Middle-earth as recorded in The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion, was one of the most prolific letter-writers of this century. Over the years he wrote a mass of letters – to his publishers, to members of his family, to friends, and to ''fans'' of his books – which often reveal the inner workings of his mind, and which record the history of composition of his works and his reaction to subsequent events.A selection from Tolkien''s correspondence, collected and edited by Tolkien''s official biographer, Humphrey Carpenter, and assisted by Christopher Tolkien, was published in 1981.

A grand, perturbing erotic novel in which the wealthy, amoral Karl records his sexual life and search for meaning in letters with a surprising legacy“Maybe all women wonder what men would be like without their posturing, but it seems to me Hilst had more than an inkling...” – Dodie BellamyThis epistolary novel tells the story of Karl, a wealthy, amoral and erudite man who records his daily life in a series of 20 letters to his sister Cordelia. She is cloistered and chaste, but the letters are wildly promiscuous – not just in their explicit sexual content, which have earned the novel the epithet ‘pornographic’, but in their form. Ranging in style and register from modernist fragments worthy of James Joyce and Samuel Beckett, to letters that could have been penned by Enlightenment libertines like Choderlos de Laclos and the Marquis de Sade, the letters make up a polyphonic text that pushes the boundaries both of fiction and of decency.The novel – a standalone masterpiece which originally appeared as part of a Brazilian tetralogy – changes form again partway through, when the indigent poet Stamatius finds Karl’s record of his erotic adventures in a trash can, and begins to write ...

In the words of his contemporary, Philip Roth, John Updike was ‘Our time’s greatest man of letters – as brilliant a literary critic and essayist as he was a novelist and short-story writer’.Over the course of his long and immensely productive career, he also proved himself a brilliant correspondent, his letters filled with comic observations, opinions and personal news, told in his characteristically elegant and exquisitely fluid style.In this sparkling selection of his letters, edited by James Schiff, we can see Updike in real time, capturing every stage of his unspooling life, from Pennsylvania farm boy to Pulitzer prizewinner; and from young father negotiating his first book contract to the bestselling writer he became, following the international success of his novels Couples and the ‘Rabbit ‘sequence.Here are letters to family, friends, editors and lovers, a remarkable outpouring over six decades – including, most movingly perhaps, the letters of his final year bidding farewell to children, colleagues and friends.Taken together, these missives make a page-turning ‘life in letters’ like no other – an intimate testament to one of the greatest of all American writers.

New Selected Poems 1988-2013 provides an unrivalled account of a period of work that was crowned by the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1995. Together with its earlier, sibling volume, it completes the arc of a remarkable career. Shortly before his death in 2013, Seamus Heaney discussed with his publisher the prospect of a companion volume to his landmark New Selected Poems 1966-1987 aimed at presenting the second half of his career, 'from Seeing Things onwards', as he foresaw it.Although he was unable to complete a edition/selection, he left behind selections that have been followed here. New Selected Poems 1988-2013 reprints the author's chosen poems from his later years, beginning with his ground-breaking volume Seeing Things (1991), his two Whitbread Books of the Year, The Spirit Level (1996) and Beowulf (1999), and his multi-nominated, prize-winning volumes, Electric Light (2001), District and Circle (2006) and Human Chain (2010). The edition concludes with two posthumously published works.

The traditional art of Illumination - the creation of elaborate, decorated letters and initials - is now attracting new enthusiasts. It reached its apogee in the monasteries of medieval Europe and was practised with great skill and artistry. Embellished with gold leaf, the illuminated letters of those early scribes seemed to reflect light, as though they were indeed ''illuminated''.Illuminated Letters presents step-by-step instructions for recreating illuminated alphabets from six historical periods, including Celtic, Gothic and Romanesque. Diagrams for upper- and lower-case letters are accompanied by ideas for borders and decorations, and full instructions for gilding. Each section also explores ways in which the illuminated letters can be adapted to create a truly personal style, while a gallery of modern examples will inspire further creativity.

Introduced by Alan Harman, The People in Paul’s Letters is a handy guide to the backgrounds and relationships of the individuals and churches mentioned in the Pauline epistles. Of the twenty–seven books of the New Testament, thirteen are letters written by the apostle Paul to early Christian communities and individuals. These churches were working out the reality of living for Christ and His Kingdom in a world antagonistic to the gospel. Many of the individuals in these congregations were mentioned by name in Paul’s letters, and there is much to be learned from them.We can learn as much by considering Paul’s interactions with people as his directions about Christian thought and behaviour. Although separated by twenty centuries, many of the issues we face today relate closely to matters they encountered. Guy Manuell has thoroughly researched the people mentioned in Paul’s letters. Each person has an individual entry, starting with the verses in which they are found, and giving a full explanation of who they were and their relationship to Paul.Also included are an in–depth introduction providing the background context, an invaluable chronology of Paul’s life, a handy chronology of Paul’s letters and an extensive bibliography.This book will be a valuable ...
