Before Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Trevor Noah, and Doonesbury, there was Art Buchwald. For more than fifty years, from 1949 to 2006, Art Buchwald’s Pulitzer Prize-winning column of political satire and biting wit made him one of the most widely read American humorists and a popular player in the Washington world of Ethel and Ted Kennedy, Ben Bradlee, and Katharine Graham. Dean Acheson, former U.S. Secretary of State, called Buchwald the “greatest satirist in the English language since Pope and Swift.”

Meet Anne Lister, the 18th-century landowner, industrialist, explorer, lesbian and feminist icon. This is her story.... Anne was different from society’s expectations of a woman at the time: she not only did not wish to marry, but she also did not want to conform. Anne was interested only in women and had ‘marriage’ ceremonies with Mariana Lawton and later Ann Walker. She spent a great deal of time studying, managed her own estates, sought business opportunities, travelled widely and climbed mountains.

Leur correspondance ne durera que quatre petits mois, entre mai et septembre 1926. Elle s'arrête brutalement, avec la maladie de Rilke et sa mort le 29 décembre 1926, sans qu'ils n'aient pu jamais se rencontrer.

O livro, que à primeira vista pode parecer seguir a tradição da prosa moralista, com intenção doutrinária, configurada em um manual de conduta, foi escrito pela autora para sua filha, Livia, e revela-se como um manifesto feminista, que defende a educação e a emancipação feminina em uma época em que a sociedade patriarcal não encontrava oposição. Escrito em formato epistolar, a carta escrita de mãe para filha em tom afetuoso elenca os direitos e virtudes das mulheres no mundo oitocentista, sem deixar de alertar sobre os perigos de relações falsas e a importância das boas escolhas.

Og møder! Børnelæge m.

Das Jahr 1797 ist im Schaffen von Goethe und Schiller nicht nur ein überaus produktives Jahr, sondern auch ein Jahr, in dem zu großen Teilen einige ihrer späterhin bekanntesten und meist gelesenen Texte entstehen. Für beide Dichter ist das Nachdenken über diesen Gegenstand von höchster praktischer Bedeutung. Während Goethe das schnell anwachsende Material seiner Faust-Tragödie dramatisch zu verdichten sucht, arbeitet Schiller an seinem Drama «Wallenstein», das über die Monate hin zu monumentaler Größe anschwillt.
