Ich glaube nicht an Gott, aber ich glaube an Schmerz - so bezeichnet Rhys Cunningham seine Lebensphilosophie. Er ist Herr über ein Imperium und Gefühle lässt er nicht zu. Das ändert sich als Jaz Darling - eine Deutsch-Amerikanerin - in sein Leben tritt. Denn seine neue Assistentin ist so gar nicht nach seinem Geschmack. Nicht nur, dass sie seine angeblich nicht vorhandene Gefühlswelt auf den Kopf stellt, sie kommt auch seinem Geheimnis viel zu nah. Und Nähe ist etwas, was Rhys überhaupt nicht zulassen will.

La casa di legno brucia nel cuore della notte. Lingue di fuoco illuminano la vallata fra le montagne. Nel silenzio della neve che cade si sente solo il ruggito del fuoco. E quando la casa di legno crolla, restano soltanto i sussurri impauriti di chi è riuscito a fuggire in tempo. Ma qualcosa non è come dovrebbe essere. I conti non tornano.

Lei è lo "squalo biondo", una broker agguerrita e di successo nel mondo dell’alta finanza.

Nestes contos de amores impossíveis, de solidão e de desencontros, tanto seus personagens quanto as coisas ao seu redor estão em permanente estado de “quase”. Os relacionamentos quase dão certo, as coisas são quase dramáticas, quase triviais. Apesar das dores, não há drama nessa linguagem que é, ao mesmo tempo, infantil e ferina, de tão lúcida. O ouvinte sente vontade de rir de certo desajeito constante, mas também percebe uma lágrima quase caindo, de tanto que as pequenas trivialidades parecem se cercar de melancolia.

Non c’è più tempo, ormai, per fare ciò che è necessario. Gli uomini del re Enrico VIII stanno arrivando, e lei deve andarsene in fretta e lasciare la dimora in cui è stata tanto felice. Soprattutto deve abbandonare i campi di zafferano, la pianta preziosa come l’oro i cui semi le sono stati donati dai monaci che l’hanno cresciuta.

Brooklyn Thomas is pretty sure she's mostly dead. She can't feel her heart beat and she's disappearing: her reflection keeps vanishing from mirrors. No one else seems to notice. Not her coworkers at the artisanal doughnut shop she works at after failing at her high-paying marketing job. Not her crush, whom she keeps humiliating herself in front of. Not her parents, whose basement suite she's stuck living in.

Briefe an einen jungen Dichter ist eine Sammlung von Briefen Rainer Maria Rilkes, die 1929 im Insel Verlag als Nummer 406 der Insel-Bücherei erschien. Die Briefe an einen jungen Dichter wurden aus der Veröffentlichung der übrigen Briefe ausgegliedert und diesen vorangestellt, weil sich die Herausgeberinnen erhofften, auf diesem Wege mehr Aufmerksamkeit für Rilkes moderne Haltung zur Orientierung im Leben zu erlangen, während sowohl der Kommunismus als auch der Nationalsozialismus an Boden gewannen. Die Texte grenzen sich von politischen Ideologien ebenso ab wie von der Religion.
