Story
At the end of summer 2017, Anna Funder found herself at a moment of peak overload. Family obligations and household responsibilities were crushing her soul and taking her away from her writing deadlines. She needed help, and George Orwell came to her rescue. "I’ve always loved Orwell," Funder writes, "his self-deprecating humor, his laser vision about how power works, and who it works on." So after rereading and savoring books Orwell had written, she devoured six major biographies tracing his life and work. But then she read about his forgotten wife, and it was a revelation.

Story
Hay escritores con manías dignas de un loquero y vidas tan asombrosas que hacen palidecer a las de sus propios personajes. Novelistas incapaces de escribir una página sin tener una copa en la mano o tan prolíficos que acabaron asfixiados en su propio ego. Un Hemingway yéndose al otro mundo en circunstancias exactas a la que eligió su padre, dos de sus hermanas y una nieta. Un Scott Fitzgerald que entraba a los casinos a cuatro patas o una Virginia Woolf que no soportaba leer sus textos.

"Песенка в шесть пенсов и карман пшеницы" — две первые строчки известной английской песенки, а также названия не менее известных двух произведений Арчибальда Кронина, созданных в лучших традициях "романов воспитания" Диккенса, Бальзака и Флобера. Рассказ о судьбе юноши из Шотландии, мечтательного, амбициозного и наивного отразил многие автобиографические факты из жизни автора.

Story
Человек недостойный – самая известная повесть Осаму Дадзая. Произведение во многом автобиографическое – многие критики считают, что в образе Ёдзо Оба изображен сам автор: страдающий человек, который разрушает свою жизнь, не найдя в ней места. И, словно бы подведя этим черту под собственным существованием и вложив в повесть всего себя, вскоре после выхода "Человека недостойного" Дадзай бросился в один из токийских водосборников. Это произведение известно во всем мире. Оно легло в основу фильма, манги, нескольких аниме. Повесть публикуется в новом переводе.

Story
Чувства к чешской журналистке Милене Есенской стали самым ярким переживанием в жизни "пражского гения". Их роман продлился недолго, но переписка продолжалась несколько лет. Именно Милене писатель передал свои дневники и ставшее позднее известным "Письмо отцу", а их непростые, эмоциональные отношения нашли отражение в главном произведении Кафки – романе "Замок". Эти письма без ответа отчасти напоминают дружескую переписку, наполненную тревожными мыслями, страхами, болезненными переживаниями и глубоким взаимопониманием. В них — другой Кафка, — романтик, нуждающийся в поддержке.

Story
Born in New York City’s Black ghetto Harlem at the start of World War II, Samuel R. Delany married White poet Marilyn Hacker right out of high school. The interracial couple moved into the city’s new bohemian quarter, the Lower East Side, in 1961. Through the decade’s opening years, new art, new sexual practices, new music, and new political awareness burgeoned. Beautifully, vividly, insightfully, Delany calls up this era of exploration and adventure as he details his development as a Black gay writer in an open marriage, with walk-ons by Bob Dylan, Stokely Carmichael, and more.

Story
"Walden. Yesterday I came here to live." That entry from the journal of Henry David Thoreau, and the intellectual journey it began, would by themselves be enough to place Thoreau in the American pantheon. His attempt to "live deliberately" in a small woods at the edge of his hometown of Concord has been a touchstone for individualists and seekers since the publication of Walden in 1854. But there was much more to Thoreau than his brief experiment in living at Walden Pond.

When twenty-five-year-old Judith Jones began working as a secretary at Doubleday’s Paris office in 1949, she spent most of her time wading through manuscripts in the slush pile and passing on projects—until one day, a book caught her eye. She read it in one sitting, then begged her boss to consider publishing it. A year later, Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl became a bestseller. It was the start of a culture-defining career in publishing. Legendary editor Judith Jones finally gets her due in this intimate biography.

Story
In 1508, despite strong advice to the contrary, the powerful Pope Julius II commissioned Michelangelo Buonarroti to paint the ceiling of the newly restored Sistine Chapel in Rome. During the four extraordinary years that Michelangelo spent laboring over the ceiling, power politics and personal rivalries swirled around him. He battled ill health, financial and family difficulties, inadequate knowledge of the art of fresco, and the Pope's impatience - a history that is more compelling than most novels.

Story
The theory that Shakespeare may not have written the works that bear his name is the most horrible, unspeakable subject in the history of English literature. Scholars admit that the Bard’s biography is a “black hole,” yet to publicly question the identity of the god of English literature is unacceptable, even (some say) “immoral.” In Shakespeare Was a Woman and Other Heresies, journalist and literary critic Elizabeth Winkler sets out to probe the origins of this literary taboo.

Rüdiger Safranski's Goethe: Life as a Work of Art is the first definitive biography in a generation to tell the larger-than-life story of the writer considered to be the Shakespeare of German literature. Drawing upon the trove of letters, diaries, and notebooks Goethe left behind, as well as correspondence and criticism from Goethe's contemporaries, Safranski weaves a rich tale of Europe in the throes of revolution and of the man whose ideas heralded a new era.

Everyone expected Violet Sorrengail to die during her first year at Basgiath War College―Violet included. But Threshing was only the first impossible test meant to weed out the weak-willed, the unworthy, and the unlucky. Now the real training begins, and Violet’s already wondering how she’ll get through. It’s not just that it’s grueling and maliciously brutal, or even that it’s designed to stretch the riders’ capacity for pain beyond endurance. It’s the new vice commandant, who’s made it his personal mission to teach Violet exactly how powerless she is–unless she betrays the man she loves.

There Eddard Stark of Winterfell rules in Robert's name.

Yet a more immediate threat lurks to the south, where Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King, has died under mysterious circumstances....
