Story
Manchmal gebären die widrigsten und unmöglichsten Umstände, die man schlicht nicht erfinden kann, einen Autoren, dessen Literatur den Menschen den Atem verschlägt. Der unmögliche Fall, der so absurd klingt, dass er nur wahr sein kann. Ständige Geldnöte, Verurteilung zum Tode, mehrjährige Gefängnisstrafe in angeketteter Einzelhaft, Verbot des Aufenthalts in Moskau und in Sankt Petersburg, Spielsucht, um ein paar der Schwierigkeiten zu erwähnen, welche das Schicksal letztendlich zu Voraussetzungen umwandelte, die Dostojewski in die Lage versetzten zu einem Titanen der Welt-Literatur zu werden.

Story
Friedrich Nietzsche gilt bis heute als Spitze der philosophischen Nahrungskette. Sein umfassendes Werk deckt wissenschaftliche, künstlerische, philosophische und philologische Schriften ab. Nietzsche beeinflusste Maler, Literaten, Musiker, Wissenschaftler und Künstler aller sogenannten Genres und birgt nach wie vor gesellschaftliches Dynamit. Gerade wegen der Zeitlosigkeit und Aktualität seiner Schriften haben es keinerlei Gruppierungen jeglicher Art versäumt, sich schamlos an aus dem Zusammenhang gerissenen Formulierungen Nietzsches zu bedienen und auf ihre Fahnen zu schmieren.

Im direkten Schriftverkehr mit Angehörigen, Freunden, ehemaligen Weggefährten und und und offenbart sich nicht nur der Mensch Kleist mit seinen Bedürfnissen, Wünschen, Ansichten und Hoffnungen, sondern auch ein sehr außergewöhnlicher Intellekt und unglaublich reger Geist.

Story
Born in 1875, the great German lyric poet Rainer Maria Rilke published his first collection of poems in 1898, and went on to become renowned for his delicate depiction of the workings of the human heart. Drawn by some sympathetic note in his poems, young people often wrote to Rilke with their problems and hopes. From 1903 to 1908, Rilke wrote a series of remarkable responses to a young, would-be poet on poetry and on surviving as a sensitive observer in a harsh world. Those letters, still a fresh source of inspiration and insight, are accompanied here by a chronicle of Rilke's life.

Story
Vorab zur Persönlichkeit Jean Pauls: Als Busenfreund und Blutsbruder von E.T.A. Hofmann gilt er neben demselben als Enfant Terrible der Romantik und als einziger Mensch seiner Zeit, der sogar Goethes Intellekt ins Wanken brachte, wobei Letzterer nach einem Kennenlernen Jean Pauls anmerkte, dass dieser auf ihn wie ein Mensch vom Mond wirke, aber schließlich die Auseinandersetzung mit dessen Texten nur wohlwollende und respektable Worte der Anerkennung zur Folge hatten.
