El "Libro de la vida" se redactó en periodos sucesivos y con finalidades distintas, aunque el periodo de redacción definitivo suele situarse entre 1562-1566. Esta es la obra más íntima y personal de Santa Teresa de Jesus, y la que le valio el proceso de la Inquisicion por sus testimonios sobrenaturales.La Santa lo escribio por mandato y bajo la direccion de sus confesores, e iba dirigido a un circulo religioso reducido. El libro comprende hasta sus 50 años de edad y lo escribe durante una de las etapas mas dificiles de su vida. En los primeros capitulos Santa Teresa aporta gran cantidad de informacion autobiografica sobre su vida familiar, su infancia, y su ingreso en la vida religiosa. A lo largo del libro hay otros episodios de este tipo: sus referencias al Santo fray Pedro de Alcantara, a quien conocio personalmente, y el proceso que le llevo a la fundacion del primer monasterio reformado de San Jose de Avila, se encuentran entre las mas memorables. Pero en su mayor parte el "Libro de la Vida" narra su progreso espiritual y sus vivencias misticas, asi como su practica y concepcion de la oracion, escrito en su particular estilo analitico y enormemente sincero. Por esto se ha calificado a la obra como autobiografia introspectiva.Esta obra, como todos los escritos de Santa Teresa, estan entre las mas sobresalientes tesoros de la literatura mistica de la Iglesia Catolica.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau puso en "Las confesiones" los cimientos de la autobiografía moderna. "Las confesiones" van más allá de unas simples memorias al convertir Rousseau al lector en «juez» de los hec

Esta es la única autobiografía que tengo y la única en donde se narran acontecimientos de mi vida como escritor.

Genesis generally refers to a biblical explanation of how the earth, humans and all living creatures came together where the natural attributes of a living planet were created by a supreme creator called god.However if we place this biblical explanation aside, why not consider the explanation offered by our Star family, a grouping of non-physical beings from the star grouping of Orion.It provides an explanation why humans exist on earth and our purpose, and includes part of evolution theory and intelligent design. This grouping is not a god or gods, and dont need to be worshipped, or offer salvation and redemption. They explain consciousness, why we are here, and what occurs after our death, in a very understandable manner.Finally they do not judge if you choose to deny their truth, as you are free willed humans able to decide for yourself.The author has spent ten years in conversations with this grouping, and what is included in the final chapters are topics ranging from evolution to climate change, and reincarnation and consciousness.

Una storia vera, scritta basandomi su unautobiografia regalatami da mani amiche. La storia della vita di un uomo spesa al meglio, nonostante i duri colpi e le tante prove che la vita gli ha imposto. Sentimenti di rabbia, desiderio, passione, voglia, accettazione, coraggio, determinazione, rinascita e conquista. Sogni e desideri trasformati in realta, ma... la vita ha in serbo un solo finale.

Cose una Milf? Il miraggio erotico di una generazione imberbe, il sogno inconfessabile di uomini sposati, un accessorio delle cabriolet dei rampolli abbienti? Forse e tutto questo e molto di piu. Tra le righe dei quarantuno racconti di Jessica emerge un humus di marpioni da spiaggia, stacanovisti della seduzione, poeti in saldo, calciatori, poliziotti, imprenditori voraci, playboy da strapazzo, toy-boys fessacchiotti e finte amiche molto invidiose: in pratica, il ventre molle dellitaliano medio. Un racconto genuino che non ha nulla di pretenzioso e non nasconde alcuna ideologia o speculazione, solo bollicine, tacchi dodici e balere. Eppure, chi vuole intendere...

Il grande viaggio di Lucia inizia alla Villa Marangone di Civitavecchia, in cui il padre Mario si trova alle dipendenze del ministro de Stefani, poi fuggito e ricercato dai partigiani. La guerra, la fuga al nord, gli anni difficili, il freddo, la fame, la miseria, eppure Lucia ricorda il folklore della cascina, gli animali e gli strambi personaggi che la popolavano. Una vita intensa, la sua, vissuta solcando le orme di un padre eccessivo, affascinante, creativo, irascibile, dolce e granitico, eppure seguendo il proprio percorso, lungo una linea immaginaria tracciata dal senso dellavventura, dal coraggio e dalla voglia di mettersi in gioco.

Missouri guerrilla, Confederate officer, bank robber, notorious outlaw, Wild West showmanCole Youngers life was the stuff of myth and legend.Known for intelligence and coolness under pressure, he published his autobiography, "The Story of Cole Younger," in 1903, telling his story in his own words after his parole from prison at the age of 59 and reflecting on the colourful and sometimes violent experiences of "the gentleman, the soldier, the outlaw, and the convict."Born in Missouri, Thomas Coleman ("Cole") Younger rode with William Clarke Quantrills Confederate raiders during the Civil War, participating in many daring and bloody exploits, including the infamous Lawrence, Kansas, massacre of 1863. Following the war, Younger continued his celebrated career as a desperado, robbing banks and trains with Jesse James and other members of the James-Younger gang. A fateful attempt in 1876 on the Northfield, Minnesota, bank sent Cole to the state prison in Stillwater, Minnesota for decades. There he became a model resident, helping both to protect women convicts during a fire and found the Prison Mirror, a newspaper intended to shed "a ray of light upon the lives of those behind the bars." Paroled in 1901, Younger successfully sought a pardon, operated a Wild West show with his old comrade Frank James, and lectured on "What My Life Has Taught Me."

While imprisoned in Reading Gaol from 1895 to 1897 for homosexual practices, Oscar Wilde wrote "De Profundis", an impassioned letter to his lover, Lord Alfred Douglas. In the first section of the letter, Wilde records his relationship with Douglas in merciless detail; he rails against his lovers selfishness and extravagance, accuses him of being the agent of Wildes destruction, and turns a cold eye on his own behaviour. The letters tone changes from bitterness to resignation as Wilde acknowledges his own responsibility for his fate and extends a hopeful offer for a renewed, calmer friendship.First published in 1905 by an arrangement between Oscar Wilde and Robert Ross, who visited Wilde at Reading and later became his literary executor, "De Profundis" is a curious document: part apologia, part aesthetic discourse, part religious testimonial, part retort to religion, a letter that addresses a private recipient and was written for public view, but that despite these layers of performance has a strange inward quality; in reality this is a letter from Wilde to himself.

First published in November 1854, "Ruth Hall" (AKA "Ruth Hall: A Domestic Tale of the Present Time") is an autobiographical novel by Fanny Fern (pen name of Sara Payson Willis), a popular 19th-century newspaper writer.The novel is divided into ninety short chapters and, as the author states in the preface, this work does not follow the conventional rules of novel writing in 1855. The story follows the life of Ruth Hall, a woman who becomes a widow at a very young age and is forced to create a life for herself and her children that defies the conventional rules of society.The autobiographical novel can be divided into three phases: Ruths happy marriage, impoverished widowhood, and rise to fame and financial independence as a newspaper columnist.

During the Renaissance science was never separated from mysticism and alchemy. Some of the finest minds such as Leonardo da Vinci and Isaac Newton were all heavily involved in what they would of called the mystic arts.In "Mystics of the Renaissance", published in 1911, Rudolf Steiner examines the thought of eleven less well known pioneers of scientific discovery and European mystics (Eckhart, Tauler, Suso, Ruysbroek, Nicholas of Cusa, Agrippa von Nettesheim, Paracelsus, Weigel, Boehme, Giordano Bruno, and Angelus Silesius) through a collection of essays and explains their ideas and how they relate to modern concepts.

Published in 1890, Hunger (Sult in Norwegian) is a semi-autobiographical novel by Knut Hamsun based on his many unhappy experiences in Norways capital city of Christiania. "Hunger" was one of the first modern psychological novels in world literature.Told in the first person, it is the story of a young writer of exceptional sensibility, who, stripped of all of his property and without any reliable means of support, is about to perish from extreme hunger. The book contains little action in the traditional sense. With the exception of the story of a few attempts to secure employment and the account of a brief encounter with a lady of the middle class, the text consists almost exclusively of reports of the narrators mental life during periods of starvation.The unnamed narrator of this plotless episodic work is an introspective young man whose hunger to succeed as a writer matches his intense physical hunger. He lacks human contact and at times seems demented. Although he has occasional hunger-induced hallucinations, he neither feels sorry for himself nor tries to rectify his situation.The books impulsive, lyrical style marked a clear departure from the then-prevalent social realism and had an electrifying effect on European writers.Born in 1859 in Lom, Gudbrandsdalen, Norway, Knut Hamsun believed writers should write about the human mind. He wrote psychological works that included running inner monolog. Hamsun wrote plays, poetry, essays, short stories, over twenty novels, and a travelogue. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1920 for "Growth of the Soil".

Originally published in 1912, "The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man", novel by James Weldon Johnson, is one of the jewels of the Harlem Renaissance.This fictional autobiography, originally issued anonymously in 1912 in order to suggest authenticity, but also because Johnson feared for his diplomatic career, explores the intricacies of racial identity through the eventful life of its mixed-race (and unnamed) narrator. In 1927, it was re-released during the Harlem Renaissance under Johnsons name and to critical praise.The narrator, born in Georgia, tells of his childhood in Connecticut, where his mixed-race mother, aided by monthly checks from the boys white father, is able to provide a secure and cultured environment. Learning of his black heritage only by accident, the narrator experiences the first of several identity shifts that will eventually find him opting for membership in white society. A European interlude under the sponsorship of a wealthy white male companion raises the question of sexual identity as well, but the novel never makes this issue explicit. Throughout the work, Johnson employs characters, locales, incidents, and motifs from his own life, but the narrator is less a conscious self-portrait than a representation of the authors own ambivalence.The work critiques the USs class system and probes the psychological reality and sociological impact of passing for whiteone of the first works in US literature to do so. The narrator is never named and only refers to himself as the ex-colored man, which lends to themes of unfair social mobility, the psychological toll of racism, and guilt.Though in some ways conforming to the conventional novel of passing in suggesting that a mixed racial heritage makes a person incapable of functioning in either the black or the white world, Johnsons novel turns this notion on its head by invoking double consciousness, as his narrator makes clear.

La consegna di Giovanni Sias e un breve omaggio allamico infinito e al suo progetto di una psicanalisi oltre il Novecento, in cerca di terre inesplorate, allinsegna del motto della Lega anseatica caro a Freud: Navigare necesse est, vivere non necesse.Ancora poco conosciuta nella sua integralita lopera di Sias, estranea a ogni epigonismo, merita, per la sua audacia, originalita e risolutezza, unattenta ri-lettura e una discussione critica a cui questo opuscolo che tocca succintamente solo alcuni dei suoi snodi teorici cruciali vuole invitare. E il primo invito e proprio per il suo autore, sollecitato da un sogno fatto la notte di ferragosto (due settimane dopo la morte di Sias), in cui gli e annunciata una consegna che non era pronto a ricevere, ma con cui non puo evitare di confrontarsi.Lopuscolo comprende anche una proposta di lavoro e una bibliografia di tutta lopera di Sias (inclusi due testi postumi ancora inediti), di cui viene arrischiato un primo inventario.

Written in 1900, "LAiglon" is a play in six acts by Edmond Rostand based on the life of Napoleon II, who was the son of Emperor Napoleon I and his second wife, Empress Marie Louise. The title of the play comes from a nickname for Napoleon II, the French word for "eaglet" (a young eagle).The title role was created by Sarah Bernhardt in the plays premiere on 15 March 1900 at the Theatre Sarah Bernhardt.Edmond Rostands sympathetic treatment of sensitive people is as evident in his portrait of Napoleons idealistic but hesitant son as it is in that of his ugly but unselfish "Cyrano de Bergerac"."LAiglon" is an impressive play.
