A la extensa y variada bibliografía que ya se acumula sobre la vida y obra de Severo Sarduy, este libro contribuye con una dimensión íntima y conmovedora. Se reúne aquí una parte considerable de la correspondencia enviada por Sarduy a Roberto González Echevarría, quien fuera uno de sus amigos entrañables durante más de veinte años, desde que se conocieran en 1969 y hasta el final de sus días. Los textos reproducidos, cuyos originales se encuentran hoy en la biblioteca de la Universidad de Princeton, son un testimonio de amistad y confianza entre dos imprescindibles intelectuales que compartieron, además de su raíz cubana, varios intereses comunes sobre temas como el barroco, el pensamiento francés, la experiencia del exilio, la tradición cultural de la Isla o la literatura latinoamericana contemporánea. Como resultado de esa comunión, el volumen también se enriquece con una entrevista que trabajaron ambos amigos y con algunas piezas literarias escritas por Sarduy y enviadas entonces a González Echevarría para su valoración exclusiva. A través de un diálogo familiar, muy desenfadado y a la vez perspicaz, estas páginas rescatadas no solo nos revelan detalles valiosos sobre los proyectos creativos de Sarduy, o sobre sus viajes, anhelos, ideas y vínculos con otros intelectuales, sino que además nos hacen partícipes de la estrecha complicidad que labraron el autor de La simulación y uno de sus más sagaces críticos.

Die bislang unerzählte Geschichte von Anne Franks weltberühmtem Tagebuch schließt eine Leerstelle in der Erzählung über Anne FrankAnne Frank träumte davon, eines Tages eine berühmte Schriftstellerin zu werden. Ihr Vater Otto Frank, der den Krieg als einziges Familienmitglied überlebte, wollte seiner Tochter diesen Wunsch erfüllen und machte die Verbreitung von Annes Tagebuch zu seinem Lebensinhalt. 1947 erschien 'Het Achterhuis' in den Niederlanden, 1950 wurde die erste deutsche Ausgabe veröffentlicht. Heute zählt das Tagebuch zu den meistgelesenen Büchern der Welt; die Wirkung, die es seit der Nachkriegszeit entfaltet, ist unvergleichlich und ungebrochen. Doch die Geschichte seines Erfolgs ist geprägt von Hindernissen und Rückschlägen - und weitgehend unbekannt. Kenntnisreich entschlüsselt Thomas Sparr, wie es entstanden ist, wie es verbreitet wurde, wie es auf der ganzen Welt rezipiert wird und warum es uns bis heute nicht loslässt.

Tendai Rinos Mwanaka wrote letters to Robert Mugabe, Constantine Chiwenga, Morgan Tsvangirai, The Zimbabweans, Emerson Mnangagwa, Nelson Chamisa, The Police, and in between infused the letters with deeply literary and psychoanalytic essays on the motivations of political players in Zimbabwe.

As the country moves towards a better multiparty democracy if there is change in thinking in these very important facets shaping Zimbabwe such as constitutionalism and rule of law, change and devolution of government, developmental agenda, and freedom of expression and association.

The main theme of my journal is a search for my 'spiritual' Father as a bridge to connecting me with my true self while negotiating the many formidable obstacles put in its way. This journal was begun as a desperate attempt to create order out of the chaos of my confused thoughts and feelings. My lifelong preoccupation has been to understand the nature of 'spirituality' of the man who cannot believe in the picture of the conventional ideas of God while at the same time lacks a clear sense of himself.

This selection from over 70 years of letters, collected and edited by Dan Giancola, helps define John Sanford's writing life and the ambition that fueled it. The letters chronicle his time spent in Europe during the Great Depression, in writing screenplays during Hollywood's Golden Age (including work with director Frank Capra scripting World War Two propaganda films), in managing life after having been blacklisted by the House Un-American Activities Committee, and in finding publishers for his 24 books. These letters offer a testament to perseverance and integrity; they show a writer unwilling to accede to publishers' demands that he alter his sui generis work.<BR>The letters feature walk-ons by T.S. Eliot, James Joyce, Joan Crawford and Franchot Tone, and Jean Muir. Here too are letters to his wife, Marguerite Roberts, Hollywood screenwriter, with whom Sanford shared his uncompromising, indefatigable efforts to publish his books as he envisioned them. Above all, these letters illustrate the life of a writer far removed-both geographically and philosophically-from the east coast publishing elite, a writer battling agents, publishers, and Communist Party pressure trying to tell him how and what to write.<BR>Finally, perhaps most importantly, these letters reveal the jocular and acerbic personality of a writer impatient with fools and shoddy writing but who always made time to praise and advise younger writers, such as Paul Mariani and Per Petterson. This is a book for anyone interested in 20th-century American literature or thinking of becoming a professional writer.<BR>Speaking in an Empty Room contains 222 of Sanford's letters, an introduction by editor Dan Giancola, and an afterword by Jack Mearns, professor of psychology at California State University, Fullerton, and author of John Sanford: An Annotated Bibliography (Oak Knoll Press, 2008).

Der Goetheforscher Gustav von Loeper behandelt in seinem1879 erschienenen Band den hochinteressanten Briefwechsel zwischen Goethe und den Schriftstellerinnen Sophie von La Roche (1730-1807) und Bettina Brentano (1785-1859), später von Arnim. Die briefliche Korrespondenz - das typische Kommunikationsmittel zur Zeit Goethes - spiegelt eine Fülle literaturwissenschaftlichen Gedankenguts und persönlicher Beziehungen wider. Zusätzlich zu den Briefen veröffentlichte Loeper neben einer fundierten Einleitung, Goethes Drama "Des Künstlers Vergötterung" (1774), seine Übersetzung des Hoheliedes (1775) und einige Gedichte, die in direktem Bezug zum Briefwechsel stehen. Nachdruck der Originalausgabe.

Theodor Storm (1817-1888) war Lyriker und Prosa-Autor des deutschen Realismus, Eduard Mörike (1804-1875) ein Lyriker. Die beiden sind nicht nur zwei bedeutende literarische Persönlichkeiten des 19. Jahrhunderts, sondern auch in enger Freundschaft miteinander verbunden. Anhand des Briefwechsels zwischen den beiden Schriftstellern erhält man heute faszinierende Einblicke in das Leben und Werk dieser beiden herausragenden Literaten. Der Schweizer Literaturwissenschaftler Jakob Bächtold (1848-1897) hat es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, den Briefwechsel von Storm und Mörike für die Nachwelt festzuhalten.

From the first half of the seventeenth century, missionaries of the Society of Jesus ministered to the free and enslaved populations of the French Caribbean colonies. Amongst their number were Jean Mongin (1637-1698) and Claude Breban (1695-1735), whose letters vividly depict the experience of the evolving colonial world. Writing from Martinique, and Saint Kitts (Saint-Christophe), Mongin describes his attempts to convert Protestants, his ministry to the populations of slaves and their mistreatment by colonists, as well as concerns with unorthodox spiritualities. Breban depicts the rhythms of life in the burgeoning slave colony of Saint-Domingue, with the distinctive cultural and linguistic practices - and cruelty - of its plantation environment. Mongin and Breban's letters reflect debates about the transatlantic slave trade, and the nature of human and racial difference, and testify to the cultural and social environment of early Creole societies. Their perspectives call into question the idea of a unified, homogenous, 'colonial' discourse.The letters in this volume are an unrivalled source of information about the lives of enslaved people in the early modern French Caribbean. Transcriptions of manuscripts in French are accompanied by facing-page translations into English and notes.

Fürst Hermann von Pückler-Muskau (1785-1871) - Dandy, Landschaftsarchitekt und Schriftsteller - hinterließ ein umfangreiches literarisches Werk, welches zuerst durch Pücklers Lektor und engen Freund Karl August Varnhagen von Ense und später durch dessen Nichte Ludmilla Assing-Grimelli verwaltet wurde. Aus den Texten, die der Fürst ihr hinterließ, editierte Assing-Grimelli eine neunbändige Ausgabe seiner Briefwechsel und Tagebücher, welche sie zwischen 1873 und 1876 veröffentlichte. Noch heute bilden diese Texte eine wichtige Grundlage für die Pückler-Forschung. Der fünfte Band enthält die Korrespondenz mit Alexander von Humboldt, Lady Hester Stanhope und Heinrich Heine. Außerdem einen Teil des Briefwechsels mit Pücklers Frau Lucie und eine Sammlung von Briefen aus der Jugendzeit des Fürsten. -- Nachdruck der Originalausgabe von 1874.
