Jeffrey Tambor (Arrested Development, The Larry Sanders Show) is "Maura", the Pfefferman Family patriarch turned matriarch. Here, he discusses the discovery of personal authenticity, what it's like to inhabit the psyche of a transitioning woman on her "maiden voyage", and his newfound appreciation for getting his nails done.

Prisoner FF8282 gazes out from confinement on what he deems must be a glorious summer’s day, rays of sunlight bursting through the barred windows of his cell. Within the thick prison walls separating society from its dangerous criminals, a multitude of harrowing fates unfold, seldomly explored by the public.

Die tief reichende Freundschaft, in welcher die zwei bekanntesten Dichterfürsten aus deutschsprachigen Landen miteinander verbunden waren, begann laut einigen Quellen alles andere als günstig, da beim ersten Treffen der beiden Goethe Schiller weder erkannte noch diesem irgendwelche Beachtung schenkte. Das änderte sich mit der Zeit, nachdem sich Goethe näher über Schillers Werk informierte und beide in regen Gedankenaustausch traten, besonders in vorliegender Briefwechsel-Reihe.

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.

Ludwig Bemelmans's charming intergenerational friendship with the late-in-life "First Lady of Interior Decoration" provides an enormously enjoyable nostalgia trip to the sun-soaked glamour of Los Angeles, where de Wolfe surrounded herself with classic movie stars and a luminous parade of life's oddities.

A few years ago, Erica Heller realized how universal the longing is for one more moment with a lost loved one. It could be a parent, a sibling, a mentor, or a friend, but who wouldn't love the opportunity to sit down, break bread, and just talk? Who wouldn't jump at the chance to ask those unasked questions, or share those unvoiced feelings?

"ความรัก" … เป็นสิ่งที่ใครจะบีบบังคับให้เกิดขึ้นไม่ได้ ตลอดระยะเวลาตั้งแต่เล็กจนโต หม่อมฉันถูกสอนให้รู้จักคน รู้จักค่าของคน และรู้จักวิธีใช้คน และค่าของคนนี้เอง ก็สอนให้หม่อมฉันรู้จักเลือก "ค่าของความรัก" ด้วยหม่อมฉันแน่ใจว่า ยามใดที่หม่อมฉันมีทุกข์ ยามนั้น ผู้หญิงที่หม่อมฉันเลือกสรรแล้ว จะช่วยปลอบโยนด้วยหัวใจของมิตร… ด้วยหัวใจรักที่ยอมทุกข์ด้วยกันเสมอ…

"Connaître mieux Hugo. Ou plutôt le connaître. Tel fut le propos de ma vie entière. Aller plus loin que le "témoin", voire à son encontre, plus loin que la légende du poète de la République, de la barbe blanche et de l'art d'être grand-père. Répudier Epinal. Retrouver le quotidien au-delà du génie. Admettre la sincérité du révolutionnaire et le comprendre bourgeois. Croire à sa générosité totale et constater son amour de l'argent. Le voir vivre en leur absolu ses passions amoureuses et asservir la meilleure des amantes.

While 1858 in London may have been noteworthy for its broiling summer months and the related stench of the sewage-filled Thames River, the year is otherwise little remembered. And yet, historian Rosemary Ashton reveals in this compelling microhistory, 1858 was marked by significant, if unrecognized, turning points. For ordinary people, and also for the rich, famous, and powerful, the months from May to August turned out to be a summer of consequence.

Mark Hodkinson grew up among the terrace houses of Rochdale in a house with just one book. His dad kept it on top of a wardrobe with other items of great worth - wedding photographs and Mark's National Cycling Proficiency certificate. If Mark wanted to read it, he was warned not to crease the pages or slam shut the covers. Today, Mark is an author, journalist and publisher. He still lives in Rochdale but is now snugly ensconced (or is that buried?) in a 'book cave' surrounded by 3,500 titles - at the last count.
