Longtemps, Murakami a couru. Dix kilomètres par jour, six jours par semaine, un marathon par an, vingt marathons en tout. De cette passion, il a tiré un livre étonnant, entre éloge de l'effort, leçon de sagesse et mémoires inattendus. Car le maître ose une comparaison surprenante : si ténacité, capacité de concentration et talent sont les qualités requises d'un romancier, la course à pied permet de cultiver la patience et la persévérance. Courir est une métaphore de l'écriture.

Story
The volatile years of England's Tudor dynasty (1485–1603) and the five monarchs who ruled England during this period continue to fascinate and intrigue. Thanks to the paintings of artists like Hans Holbein, we have very definitive ideas about the appearance and personalities of Henry VII, Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary I and her successor Elizabeth I. It is through their eyes of artists that we still see the dynasty which ruled England for just over a century.

Story
«Путешествие в Арзрум» Александра Пушкина — редкий для русской литературы опыт подлинных путевых заметок, написанных поэтом, чьё слово само дышит свободой и свежестью дороги. Перед читателем раскрывается Кавказ и Восток в ярких образах, где каждая гора и каждое лицо словно оживает под пером Пушкина. Здесь нет сухого отчёта — лишь живая речь, лёгкая насмешка, наблюдательность и прозрачная проза, в которой слышится музыка стиха.

Die tief reichende Freundschaft, in welcher die zwei bekanntesten Dichterfürsten aus deutschsprachigen Landen miteinander verbunden waren, begann laut einigen Quellen alles andere als günstig, da beim ersten Treffen der beiden Goethe Schiller weder erkannte noch diesem irgendwelche Beachtung schenkte. Das änderte sich mit der Zeit, nachdem sich Goethe näher über Schillers Werk informierte und beide in regen Gedankenaustausch traten, besonders in vorliegender Briefwechsel-Reihe.

In sports, not all the long shots who succeed are athletes. In 1984, Tom Hammond, a forty-year-old sportscaster who had primarily worked in Kentucky and the Southeast, got an unlikely opportunity to appear on the NBC Sports telecast of the inaugural Breeders' Cup. Assigned to report from the stall area on what was supposed to be a single broadcast, Hammond performed so well that an NBC executive offered him a chance to call NFL games on the spot.

What if chasing your dream didn’t lead to fame or fortune—but to something far more honest? At 36, Pat Treuer had the life people post about: six-figure job, corporate status, an apartment with a skyline view—and a quiet voice in his head screaming, “Is this it?” So he did what any rational person would do: he walked away from it all to tell jokes in bars for drink tickets and half-interested crowds. Then came the pandemic. Pat launched a comedy business that brought in a million dollars—then reinvested every penny into a YouTube series that made exactly zero. Not a typo. Zero.

Once upon a time, there was a tower on a hill, beyond the dark trees, somewhere north. An octagonal tower on two levels: glass upstairs and stone below, beneath a steep slate roof – a folly, it was said. According to locals, a young woman named Annie who fell ill was confined to the tower by her father for three years and died there, alone. Fascinated by Annie's story, Thea Lenarduzzi attempts to piece the past together in a formidable act of imagination, which, tugging at the strings of the how, why and who of stories, begins to unravel the very idea of storytelling itself.

Si è sparsa, ieri, fulmineamente in città una notizia che ha portato in tutti una vera desolazione: Giovanni Verga, l’illustre letterato, era in condizioni gravissime. Ci siamo subito recati a casa dell’illustre scrittore, dove ci venne riferito dai famigliari che il maestro, dopo la consueta visita al Circolo Unione, rincasò senza che nessuno si accorgesse di un qualsiasi suo malore, nè egli lo accusò. Si ritirò in camera, rinchiudendovisi come il solito.
