Story
"100 Quotes by Honoré de Balzac" is a collection of writings and thoughts from the French novelist and playwright, Honoré de Balzac. Balzac was known to frequently flit between several "work in progress" writings, and his finished articles were often revised between editions. The way that Balzac wrote is very much reflective of the difficulties in his own life, and perhaps the writer was attempting to stabilise his life through fiction.

Wie viele Literatenhäuser stellt Lawrences Refugium "Clouds Hill" im südenglischen Bovington ein Abbild seiner Seele dar. Die einstige Bauernkate ist äußerst schlicht eingerichtet, aber die Bibliothek und Schallplattensammlung zeugen von dem intellektuellen Universum, das Lawrence war: Homer, Dante, Cervantes, Mozart, Beethoven und Elgar. Dann in einer Ecke rostige Fragmente von Schienen. Es sind Reliquien der Hedschasbahn von Aleppo nach Medina – Erinnerungen an seinen Guerillakrieg in der Wüste gegen die Türken. Lawrences militärische Karriere ist außergewöhnlich.

"100 Quotes by Woody Allen" is a compendium of thoughts, sayings, and one-liners from the mind of a man who has worked as a scriptwriter, stand-up comic, actor, and author. Often pithy and shot through with his trademark neurosis, this is a fantastic read for anyone with an interest in comedy and film. An ideal book for dipping in and out of, and one that would be a welcome addition to any library. Heywood ‘Woody’ Allen (1935 – present day) was born Allan Stewart Konigsberg in New York. Allen’s career as a comedy writer began when he was 15 years old.

"Apart from herpes and Lulu – everything is eventually swept away." Just one shimmering pearl of wisdom from pop-star and polymath James Maker, whose worldly observations will (like herpes) once again be on everyone’s lips thanks to his award-winning memoir, remastered with new chapters. If you hadn’t heard of rock bands Raymonde or RPLA – fronted by James in the 80s and 90s – you might be forgiven for mistaking AutoFellatio for fiction. But here fact is more fantastical than any novel. We follow our hero from Bermondsey enfant-terrible to Valencian grande dame...

L'affaire Dreyfus (1894-1906), du nom de cet officier juif alsacien accusé d'espionnage au profit de l'Allemagne, est toujours présente dans nos mémoires. Elle resurgit, au gré de l'actualité, comme une référence historique essentielle. Mais qui était au juste le capitaine Dreyfus ? Y a-t-il eu plusieurs affaires plutôt qu'une ? Le J'accuse... ! de Zola en offre-t-il un récit exhaustif ? Et l'écrivain a-t-il été assassiné ? Quels ont été les rôles réels des militaires Picquart et Esterhazy, du politique Clemenceau et de l'écrivain Péguy ?

"Ein Taxi ist so teuer und ich zahle doch auch Krankenkassenbeiträge." Oder "Wenn Sie mich mitnehmen, komme ich ja schneller dran!" Solche Sätze hört Luis Teichmann oft. Er fährt seit sieben Jahren im Rettungsdienst und Bagatelleinsätze sind hier nicht die einzige Herausforderung: Nachtschichten, körperlich schwere Arbeit, gewalttätige Übergriffe und die psychische Belastung rücken seinen Job aus der Komfortzone. Da ist zum Beispiel der stadtbekannte Mann, der bis zu viermal am Tag die 112 wählt, an 365 Tagen im Jahr – und jedes einzige Mal muss ein RTW ausrücken.

Story
Non tutti sanno che Charles Dickens è stato uno dei primi reporter di cronaca nera: fra il 1850 e il 1867, sulle pagine di Household Words e All the Year Round (le riviste da lui dirette) ha infatti firmato molti articoli incentrati sul crimine e sulla neonata figura del detective. Nel presente contributo - che ci illumina sulla percezione che un uomo del tempo poteva avere, rispetto ai fenomeni criminali - Dickens illustra il caso di due noti malviventi, mettendoli a confronto con grande scrupolo critico e anticipando molti temi chiave della successiva criminologia.

Story
Nel 1851 Charles Dickens accompagna il detective Charles Frederick Field (1805-1874) in una nottata a giro per i sobborghi londinesi. Il racconto che ne scaturisce - pubblicato sotto forma di articolo sulla rivista Household Words - è l'acuta ricostruzione dello squallore notturno di una grande metropoli. Avventurandosi fra taverne malfamate, vicoli bui e quartieri in mano alla malavita, Dickens, Field e i loro uomini toccano con mano i pericoli che si celano nelle periferie vittoriane, offrendo a chi legge l'opportunità di rivivere un'epoca remota, ma non per questo morta e sepolta.

Story
Ecco a voi un brillante resoconto fatto da Charles Dickens sul controverso personaggio di Thomas Griffiths Wainewright, pittore londinese noto a tutti per la sua vita dissoluta... Wainewright - il cui spirito da dandy verrà descritto anche da altri grandi scrittori, come Oscar Wilde - è il protagonista di un caso giudiziario eclatante, consumatosi negli anni '30 dell'Ottocento. Accusato di aver avvelenato la cognata, la suocera e uno zio, verrà incarcerato solo in seguito ad un'accusa di frode bancaria (per la quale sarà deportato nella colonia penale di Hobart, in Tasmania).

Story
Nel 1850 Charles Dickens firma ben tre articoli riguardanti la vita e il lavoro del detective (figura nuovissima, a quei tempi, risalendo la creazione del Detective Branch di Londra a solamente otto anni prima). In quell'anno, alcuni fra i maggiori investigatori inglesi accettano di incontrarsi nella redazione di Household Words, la rivista diretta dallo stesso Dickens, per rispondere alle sue domande. Fra loro, immancabilmente, anche il grande Charles Frederick Field (1805-1874), amico personale dello scrittore.

Le tecniche di investigazione dell'epoca, ancora relativamente nuove, rivelano in "Giù con la marea" una raffinatezza che dimostra l'estrema modernità della Scotland Yard del tempo.

Charles Dickens, oltre ad essere stato un grande romanziere, è stato anche l'attento testimone dell'avvento della polizia moderna. Risale al 1842, infatti, la nascita della prima sezione investigativa della London's Metropolitan Police. In questo scenario, di fronte ai rischi della vita notturna, Dickens ha iniziato ad interessarsi alla vita degli agenti, stringendo amicizia con molti personaggi attivi nel settore.
