Franz Kafka is one of the iconic figures of modern world litera- ture. His biography is still obscured by myth and misinformation, yet the plain facts of his life are very ordinary. He was born on 3 July 1883 in Prague, where his parents, Hermann and Julie Kafka, kept a small shop selling fancy goods, umbrellas, and the like. He was the eldest of six children, including two brothers who died in infancy and three sisters who all outlived him. He studied law at university.

"This excellent guide does justice both to the intricate design of Brontë's novel and to its sheer strangeness."

the first love letter i ever wrote was sent to you. just as this book was written to talk to you. anthony- you have been my most intimate listener. i will love you always. in the song of solomon there is this passage that reads: "i found him whom my soul loves. i held him and would not let him go." to holding on, to knowing again that moment of rapture, of recognition where we can face one another as we really are, stripped of artifice and pretense, naked and not ashamed.

Then he sat back in his chair, with a merry twinkle in his eyes, and watched carefully to see if I had brains enough to understand the full significance of what he had said to me.

Greek Word: Agápē (ἀγάπη) Meaning: Unconditional love; selfless, sacrificial love. Podcast-Style Explanation Summary: Welcome to our quick dive into ancient Greek!

It’s the love you find in acts of kindness, in the bond between a parent and child, or in spiritual teachings—especially in early Christian texts where agápē represents divine love. It's about giving, forgiving, and showing ...
