Born in Prague when it was part of the Austro-Hungarian empire and recognized today as a master of verse, poet Rainer Maria Rilke was considerably less well known in 1902 when he received a heartfelt letter from an aspiring poet. A 19-year-old student sent Rilke some of his verses, seeking an opinion of their worth. Rilke declined to offer a critique, instead encouraging the student to rely upon his own inner judgment: "Nobody can advise and help...

En esta recuperación de correspondencia escrita y enviada por el maestro Fernando González a su hijo Simón González Restrepo, por supuesto sin intención alguna de llegar a ser publicadas, se revela al lector un ser humano desconocido, o apenas instituido en su nutrida obra de analítico y profundo pensador, duro, no pocas veces.
Es la faceta del padre amoroso, intimo ¡y generoso que con familiar ternura se da a los suyos en lo que de material...

The letters begin in January 1912, a month after their first meeting, when both were relative newcomers to the London literary scene, the last, a letter from Murry,...

At the turn of the 20th century, Jewish families scattered by migration could stay in touch only through letters. Jews in the Russian Empire and America wrote business letters, romantic letters, and emotionally intense family letters. But for many Jews who were unaccustomed to communicating their public and private thoughts in writing, correspondence was a challenge. How could they make sure their spelling was correct and they were organizing their...

"Pienso que nuestra fraternidad, que se manifiesta en todos los planos, va mucho más lejos de lo que los dos pensamos y aun de lo que sentimos. Cada vez más seremos un incordio para la frivolidad de los explotadores de nuestra época, para los selectos pregoneros de uno y otro bando. Tanto mejor. Este nuevo combate apenas comienza, y con él, nuestra razón de existir. Al menos de ello estoy convencido... Es lo que siento y presiento."

Est-ce parce qu'elle se veut une réponse à l'article « Genève » de l'Encyclopédie, qu'elle s'inscrit dans un dialogue polémique avec Diderot et le « parti philosophique » et peut être lue également comme une œuvre de circonstance? La Lettre à d'Alembert sur les spectacles, publiée à Amsterdam en 1758, a suscité jusqu'à ces dernières années moins d'analyses que...

Extrait : "Au commencement de l'an de grâce 1842 l'Académie française comptait trente-neuf membres, dont les doyens étaient Chateaubriand, qui partageait se vie entre le coquet arrangement de ses Mémoires et l'illustre amitié de Madame Récamier, et l'historien Charles de Lacretelle : tous deux avaient été admis dans le cénacle en 1811."

Extrait : "Si quelque chose peut adoucir une profonde douleur, c'est de la voir réellement comprise, et ta lettre, mon vieil ami, m'a apporté la seule consolation qui peut aller jusqu'à mon cœur. Tu as évoqué pour moi les communs souvenirs de nos jeunes années, et j'ai revu cette maison de la grande rue peuplée d'htes bien-aimés que le tombeau a pris presque tous."

Extrait: "Mon cher ami, La Savoie et son duc sont pleins de précipices, a dit le maître dans la grande apostrophe de Ruy Blas. Mais si cela fut vrai de la Savoie et de son duc, combien plus de théâtre! Le théâtre n'est qu'un tas, une série, une accumulation, une agglomération de précipices; il est précipice lui-même!"
