(Emilia Pardo Bazan, 28 de septiembre de 1889)

Lytton Strachey fue el crítico literario por excelencia del final de la época victoriana; Virginia Woolf ya había escrito cuatro de sus grandes novelas (El cuarto de Jacob, La señora Dalloway, Orlando y Al faro); y ambos brillaban con luz propia en el muy exigente Circulo de Bloomsbury. A lo largo de veinticinco años, mediante la correspondencia que reune este volumen, juzgaron con agudeza sus propias obras y las ajenas, se elogiaron y trituraron, contaron anecdotas mordaces, se burlaron de las extravagancias que ellos no habian cometido y examinaron a sus ilustres amigos con miradas que oscilan entre el cariño y la crueldad.Jus publica por fin una version integra en castellano que incluye varias cartas ineditas descubiertas en años recientes.

Como apreender o jornalismo sob o prisma da historicidade dos seus fenomenos? Ao buscar caminhos para responder essa indagaço, este livro problematiza a maneira normativa pela qual a atividade jornalistica e sua historia tem sido prioritariamente descritas nos discursos autorreferentes, sobretudo naqueles ligados a ideais modernizadores. Mesmo diante de uma materialidade complexa, o que se percebe nesses ideais e a adoço de um conceito estreito e totalizador, que fixa "jornalismo" como uma categoria vazia das dimenses temporais. Dita perspectiva, persistente na historiografia sobre os jornais brasileiros, instaura uma narrativa presentista que tende a considerar o passado como um deposito inerte, sem capacidade de nos afetar ou agenciar. Isso fica evidente, por exemplo, no relato da modernizaço do jornalismo brasileiro nos anos 1950, calcado na ideia de grandes rupturas e revoluçes a partir de uma visada linear e teleologica.

Madison & Adams Press presents the Civil War Memories Series. This meticulous selection of the firsthand accounts, memoirs and diaries is specially comprised for Civil War enthusiasts and all people curious about the personal accounts and true life stories of the unknown soldiers, the well known commanders, politicians, nurses and civilians amidst the war. "A Diary From Dixie" is a Civil War diary which paints a "vivid picture of a society in the throes of its life-and-death struggle." The author described the war from within her upper-class circles of Southern planter society, but encompassed all classes in her book. Literary critics have praised Chesnuts diary. The influential writer Edmund Wilson termed it "a work of art", "masterpiece" of the genre and the most important work by a Confederate author.

In Four Ducks on a Pond, Nicholas the Cat, assisted by novelist Annabel Carothers, observed his family of humans and animals during one year on the Ross of Mull in the early 1950s. More than fifty years later, Annabels daughter Fionna discovered the manuscript in a desk drawer and, while preparing it for publication, was inspired to expand on the theme. A Grass Bank Beyond covers an extended period before mains services and frequent ferries brought about change to the Ross. Fionna remembers the freedom she enjoyed roaming the island on foot, bicycle, pony, or boat. On family outings she absorbed stories and legends about the island, attended agricultural shows and local concerts, and saw the Queen arrive for an official visit to Mull at the height of a great storm. With warmth and gentle humour she describes the solutions which overcame problems living in this beautiful but remote place.

An unique civilian eye-view of the First World War, depicting, through letters, a fascinating before and after picture of a French community in disarray. What looked impossible is evidently coming to pass... I silently returned to my garden and sat down. War again! This time war close by - not war about which one can read, as one reads it in the newspapers, as you will read it in the States, far away from it, but war right here - if the Germans can cross the frontier. A Hilltop on the Marne is a collection of letters written by Mildred Aldrich, an American expatriate who had bought a country farmhouse near Paris in the spring of 1914. Writing to her friends back home, she describes her idyllic life in Huiry, the minutiae of her farmhouse and her daily life. Ignoring the panicked pleadings of friends that she return to the United States as the political situation in Europe darkens, Aldrich stands firm in her decision to stay in France and her village, come what may. As war breaks out she looks out over Marne valley at the armies moving, hears the cannonade in the distance and watches as soldiers of all nations march down the lanes in turn. Aldrichs narrative goes on to describe the subsequent events of the war until Americas entry into the fray and, returning to her narrative after the war, she described the process of rebuilding local life.

In "A Letter Book," George Saintsbury curates a profound collection of letters that offers readers an intimate glimpse into the epistolary art, showcasing letters from various literary figures spanning centuries. Through meticulous selection, Saintsbury emphasizes the nuanced interplay between personal correspondence and literary expression, while employing a flowing style that melds scholarly insight with accessible commentary. This work reveals the evolution of letter writing as not merely a means of communication but as a significant literary form, enriched by historical context and the complexities of human relationships engaged in the most candid of exchanges. George Saintsbury, a noted English critic and scholar, was deeply immersed in the study of literature and language, often drawing upon his extensive knowledge of English letters.

For readers intrigued by literary history or the personal dimensions of communication, "A Letter Book" is an essential exploration that transcends its time-bound artifacts. It invites reflection on how letters can illuminate the human experience while shedding light on the profound art of writing.

Tolstoys major works include War and Peace (186569) and Anna Karenina (187577), two of the greatest novels of all time and pinnacles of realist fiction.

Dated the 14th of December 1908, A Letter to a Hindu was a letter written by Leo Tolstoy to Tarak Nath Das, a Bengali revolutionary and scholar, in response to a request for support for Indias separation from British rule, which argued that the Indian people should seek to free themselves from British rule through non-violent protests and strikes, and other forms of peaceful resistance.The letter soon gained international attention after it was published in the Free Hindustan, and it came to the attention of the young Mahatma Gandhi.

Many people will remember Melosinas voice from Sunday Miscellany, where these pieces were first broadcast, or have read them in Irishwomans Diary in The Irish Times. Fewer may have discovered her intriguing short stories, most of them published here for the first time. Though all of her writing conveys her distinctive slant on things, relatively few of her essays were directly concerned with her personal life. Several of these are collected here, including a moving account of her first experience of the cancer from which she eventually died in 2011. Growing up as a tea-planters daughter in Sri Lanka (then Ceylon), evacuated with her mother to Africa during the war, Melosina Lenox-Conyngham acquired early on a taste for travel and an interest in the curiosities of life. Certainly these qualities are well illustrated in this collection. Her many years as Secretary to the Butler Society gave her expertise at rallying the clan as well as a special interest in key figures from Kilkenny local history. Vignettes of Irish social life take us to houses that have never been sold or fill readers in on the strange eventful history of a portrait of the Duchess of Devonshire. Some of the most intriguing of the essays cover her travels to remote parts of the globe, to Yemen, the home of the legendary Queen of Sheba, to Nagaland in the far north-east of India, or to Timbuktu in Mali. But even if it is only a visit to a restaurant in Barcelona where food is served entirely in the dark, or an artistic centre high in the Pyrennees, the amused gaze of the writer brings the experience vividly to life. Edited by her niece Sophia Grene, the volume is divided into several sections each of which is introduced by members of the family or friends who round out the sense of the writers life. This anthology of Melosina Lenox-Conyghams writings, so rich in her delightful sense of humour, her ironic and quizzical pleasure in the world around her, has something for everyone to enjoy.
