Story
Partiendo de lo ínitimo, Milena Busquets rompe fronteras y convierte en literatura las vivencias personales de un verano en Cadaqués. Cuando era niña, para ayudarla a superar la muerte de su padre, a Blanca su madre le contó un cuento chino. Un cuento sobre un poderoso emperador que convocó a los sabios y les pidió una frase que sirviese para todas las situaciones posibles. Tras meses de deliberaciones, los sabios se presentaron ante el emperador con una propuesta: «También esto pasará.» Y la madre añadió: "El dolor y la pena pasan, como pasan la euforia y la felicidad."

Story
"Herkunft ist Zufall und wird doch als Absicht verwendet ..." -- Saša Stanišić. In "HERKUNFT" geht es um Sprache, Schwarzarbeit, die Stafette der Jugend und viele Sommer. Es geht um den Sommer, als mein Großvater meiner Großmutter beim Tanzen derart oft auf den Fuß trat, dass ich beinahe nie geboren worden wäre. Den Sommer, als ich fast ertrank. Den Sommer, in dem Angela Merkel die Grenzen öffnen ließ und der dem Sommer ähnlich war, als ich über viele Grenzen nach Deutschland floh.

In 1800 France, twenty-year-old Barbe-Nicole inherits her great-grandfather's uncanny sense of smell and uses it to make great champagne, despite the Code prohibiting women from owning a business. When tragedy strikes and she becomes a Veuve (widow), she must grapple with a domineering partner, the complexities of making champagne, and the aftermath of six Napoleon wars. When she falls in love with her sales manager, Louis Bohne, she must choose between losing her winery to her husband to obey the Napoleon Code, or losing Louis.

Story
In these short stories, collected and translated by Ralph McCarthy, we can see just how closely Dazai’s life mirrored his art, and vice versa, as the writer/narrator falls from grace, rises to fame, and falls again. Addiction, debt, shame, and despair dogged Dazai until his self-inflicted death, and yet despite all the lies and deception he resorted to in life, there is an almost fanatical honesty to his writing.

It is 1901, and Dr Gallagher has just pronounced Murray Hall dead.

Un roman foisonnant où Céline raconte son enfance et sa jeunesse : "C'est sur ce quai-là, au 18, que mes bons parents firent de bien tristes affaires pendant l'hiver 92, ça nous remet loin.

Je suis né en mai. C'est moi le printemps."

Story
"Immer müssen Millionen müßige Weltstunden verrinnen, ehe eine wahrhaft historische, eine Sternstunde der Menschheit, in Erscheinung tritt." Stefan Zweig hat beispielhaft vierzehn von ihnen nachgezeichnet. Ob er über die letzten Tage von Waterloo schreibt, die Entstehung der Marseillaise skizziert oder über Robert Scotts Antarktis-Expedition berichtet - es sind eher weniger bekannte historische Begebenheiten, die dennoch eine große Auswirkung auf den weiteren Verlauf der Geschichte hatten.

Story
Manche Sachen glaubt man erst, wenn man sie erlebt hat. Manche auch dann nicht. "Ich trete auf das Rad des Kessels, um mich hineinzuschwingen, stelle aber wieder mal fest, dass dort kaum noch Platz für mich ist, denn da steht schon die Gasflasche für die Flammen drin. In den Boden sind Lampen eingebaut, an die ich nicht rankommen darf, weil die viehisch heiß werden. Ich habe mich bei einer Probe mal darauf abgestützt und mir dabei fürchterlich die Hände verbrannt, da blieb richtig meine Haut an dem dünnen Schutzgitter davor kleben."

On a black night in April 1912, 1,500 passengers and crew perish as the Titanic slowly sinks beneath the freezing waters of the North Atlantic. Charting the same perilous course through the icebergs is the SS Californian, close enough for her crew to see the eight white distress rockets fired by the Titanic. Yet the Californian fails to act, and later her crew insist that they saw nothing. As news of the disaster spreads throughout America, journalists begin a feeding frenzy, desperate for stories. John Steadman is one such reporter.
