Story
In a series of fascinating conversations with eighteen American poets, and in dozens of poems, The Language of Life celebrates language in its "most exalted, wrenching, delighted, and concentrated form," and its unique power to recreate the human experience: falling in love, facing death, leaving home, losing faith, finding God.

Story
Zwei Autorinnen von internationalem Rang sind fast drei Jahrzehnte lang, von 1962 bis 1990, miteinander im Austausch: über das Schreiben, den Literaturbetrieb im Osten wie im Westen, über die Männer, die Kinder, die Arbeit im Garten und die politischen Systeme, in denen sie leben. Letztere sind es wohl, die diese Freundschaft an ein Ende bringen, nach vielen Jahren des vertrauensvollen Miteinanders. Streng und verspielt, heiter und verzweifelt, schnoddrig und ehrlich - Sarah Kirsch und Christa Wolf beim Schreiben und Leben zuzuhören ist ein Geschenk.

Story
Friedrich Hölderlin ist der große Unbekannte unter den Klassikern der deutschen Literatur: ein Genie des Zusammenwirkens von philosophischer, religiöser und poetischer Kraft. Ein Einzelgänger, der keinen Halt im Leben fand, obwohl er hingebungsvoll liebte und geliebt wurde. Als Dichter, Übersetzer, Philosoph, Hauslehrer und Revolutionär lebte Hölderlin in zerreißenden Spannungen, unter denen er schließlich zusammenbrach. Seelisch tief verwundet, verbrachte er die zweite Hälfte seines Lebens im Tübinger Turm. Erst das 20. Jahrhundert entdeckte seine tatsächliche Bedeutung.

Story
Martha Gellhorn was a strong-willed, self-made, modern woman whose journalism, and life, were widely influential at the time and cleared a path for women who came after her. An ardent anti-fascist, she wrote about real people doing real things with intelligence and passion. She is most famous, to her enduring exasperation, as Ernest Hemingway's third wife. Long after their divorce, her short tenure as "Mrs. Hemingway" from 1940 to 1945 invariably eclipsed her writing and, consequently, she never received her full due.

Story
Shirley Jackson is one of the most important American authors of the last hundred years and among our greatest chroniclers of the female experience. This extraordinary compilation of personal correspondence has all the hallmarks of Jackson’s beloved fiction: flashes of the uncanny in the domestic, sparks of horror in the quotidian, and the veins of humor that run through good times and bad.

Story
This intellectual biography of Tagore, perhaps the first of its kind, portrays him as a man who was deeply skeptical, self-critical, tormented by conflicts in his inner life, aware of the historical significance of his times and continually interacting with adversaries and friends across the world; someone who built on the heritage of the 19th-century renaissance in India and became one of the makers of the modern Indian mind.

Story
Die Freundschaftsgeschichte DER beiden deutschen Geistesgrößen. Jeder der beiden sagte vom anderen, er sei ihm der wichtigste Mensch gewesen. Sie waren grundverschieden, doch Gegensätze ziehen sich an. Intuition und Gefühl bei Goethe, scharfer Intellekt und zäher Wille bei Schiller; der eine setzt auf Natur, der andere auf Freiheit. Ihre Freundschaft mit allen Konflikten und Spannungen hat beide zu Höchstleistungen angespornt: Schiller schreibt seine klassischen Dramen und bringt sie mit Goethes Hilfe auf die Bühne.

Rüdiger Safranski über eine Jahrhundertfigur der Weltliteratur. Franz Kafka sagte von sich: »Ich habe kein literarisches Interesse, sondern bestehe aus Literatur, ich bin nichts anderes und kann nichts anderes sein.« In den ekstatischen Zuständen des Schreibens fühlte sich Kafka erst wirklich lebendig. Da ging ihm eine ungeheure Welt auf. Entstanden ist dabei ein einzigartiges Werk voller Geheimnisse.
