“A faithful translation is rare; a translation which preserves intact the original text is very rare; a perfect translation of Montaigne appears impossible. Yet Donald Frame has realized this feat. One does not seem to be reading a translation, so smooth and easy is the style; at each moment, one seems to be listening to Montaigne himself - the freshness of his ideas, the unexpected choice of words. Frame has kept everything.” (Andre Maurois, The New York Times Book Review)

A Modest Proposal for Preventing the Children of Poor People in Ireland From Being a Burden to Their Parents or Country, and for Making Them Beneficial to the Public, commonly referred to as A Modest Proposal, is a Juvenalian satirical essay written and published anonymously by Jonathan Swift in 1729.

Jon Fosse said farewell to theory early in his career, choosing poetry, fiction, and drama as his mediums of choice. Here, however, in a selection from his two books of essays, we see just how incisive a critic and memoirist he can be. Not only including a generous portion of Fosse's writing on literature and theater—including the irresistible "Thomas Bernhard and His Grandfather"—this collection also includes such personal essays such as "My Dear New Norwegian," "Old Houses," and "He Who Didn't Want to Become a Teacher."

La Storia della letteratura italiana, completata nel 1871 è la principale opera di Francesco De Sanctis, il più grande critico letterario e saggista italiano dell'Ottocento: essa costituisce la prima grande sintesi organica di tutta la letteratura italiana. L'opera, che non deve essere considerata un manuale di consultazione ma una sintesi ardente di tutta l'intera storia della società italiana vista attraverso le opere letterarie, si svolge con un forte ritmo narrativo dove i personaggi sono gli autori e i loro testi.

Jenny Diski was a fearless writer, for whom no subject was too difficult, even her own cancer diagnosis. Her columns in the London Review of Books - selected here by her editor and friend Mary-Kay Wilmers, on subjects as various as death, motherhood, sexual politics and the joys of solitude - have been described as ‘virtuoso performances’ and ‘small masterpieces'. Why Didn’t You Just Do What You Were Told? is a collective interrogation of the universal experience from a very particular psyche.

This collection contains 21 reviews of artistic events and artifacts which originally appeared between 1877 and 1889. Clearly on display is Wilde's comprehensive knowledge of contemporary painting, fashion, and literature, as well as his capacity to create paradoxical aphorisms, which is such a feature of more substantial works like The Picture of Dorian Gray and The Importance of Being Earnest.

Story0
As the Enlightenment movement was gathering strength in the early 18th century, various challenges to established religious faith were launched. In response, a number of celebrated commentators produced defences of religion and morality, and among these was Alexander Pope, who was inspired to write "some pieces on Human Life and Manners." The result was a collection of poems in rhyming couplets, designated "Epistles", which were published in instalments.

Et ekslusivt udvalg af forfatteren Selma Lagerlöfs mindre kendte tekster - fortællinger, legender, essays og taler. Teksterne, der måske har stået i skyggen af hendes store romaner, kaster nyt lys over forfatterskabet - og på Selma Lagerlöf som den engagerede person, hun var. Selma Lagerlöf kæmpede i sin tid for kvinders stemmeret. Hun var medlem af Det Svenske Akademi, fik som den første kvinde Nobelprisen i litteratur og var - blandt andre politiske mærkesager - erklæret pacifist. Tilsammen giver de udvalgte tekster et indblik i forfatterskabets forløb og udvikling.

Baseret på egne oplevelser som officer i det koloniale politi i Burma kaster han et undersøgende blik på magt, magtudøvelse og underkastelse. Herefter følger klassikeren Sådan dør de fattige samt en række af de mesterlige indlæg, Orwell skrev til sin ugentlige klumme i Tribune i årene 1943-47 under overskriften As I please.
