First given as a series of lectures at Cambridge University, Aspects of the Novel is Forster's analysis of this great literary form. Here he rejects the 'pseudoscholarship' of historical criticism - 'that great demon of chronology' - that considers writers in terms of the period in which they wrote and instead asks us to imagine the great novelists working together in a single room. He discusses aspects of people, plot, fantasy and rhythm, making illuminating comparisons between novelists, the features shared by their books and the ways in which they differ.

Il sangue matto è la paura di impazzire, di sragionare all’improvviso in casa, al lavoro, per strada, nel bel mezzo di certe giornate nere che si fatica persino a raccontare a se stesse. È il corpo che si macchia di rosso, è la difficoltà a vivere normalmente almeno sette giorni al mese. È il lutto, il fallimento e il disgusto per non riuscire ad essere madri come la natura femminile vorrebbe. Eppure le donne non si arrendono, e provano a raccontarlo e a raccontarsi, cercano con ostinazione il mesSaggio nascosto dentro la sofferenza.

Aunque este singular e inclasificable libro de Alejandro Zambra se llama Literatura infantil, conviene advertir que incluye un magnífico cuento que gira en torno al lenguaje grosero y un relato directamente lisérgico en que un hombre intenta, en pleno viaje terapéutico de hongos, volver a aprender el dificilísimo arte de gatear. En caso de que algún niño llegara accidentalmente a estas páginas, debería leerlas en compañía de un adulto, a pesar de que aquí son precisamente los niños quienes, a su manera, protegen a los adultos del desánimo, el egocentrismo y la dictadura del tiempo cronológico.

"O cotidiano nem sempre é tomado apenas por questões profundas. E nem só delas vive o homem, mas também de banalidades. Muitas vezes, ele é tomado por questões ‘menores’, e é a elas que nos dedicaremos aqui. O cotidiano tenderá a ser mais pobre no futuro. Mais entediante e previsível. Refletiremos sobre pequenas questões neste livro.”

In 1845, after years of literary and emotional struggle, friend and colleague Ralph Waldo Emerson invited Thoreau to build a cabin on his land near Walden Pond, the location of which became Thoreau's inspiration. Walden records the doctrines of transcendentalism that he lived, supported, and for which he became famous. He focuses on the concept of self-knowledge and encourages all people to find some way to learn more about themselves and the world around them. Thoreau is remembered as a major American essayist, poet, and practical philosopher.

“Vi kører over Skjernådalen med oversvømmede enge på begge sider af vejen. Vandet slår med krappe bølger mod vejens rabatter, og pludselig åbner skydækket sig. En gylden solnedgang kaster et sidelys ind over ådalen og får Lønborg Kirkes hvide tårn til at lyse mod den mørke...

Über die Weiber: Mit den Mädchen hat es die Natur auf das, was man im dramaturgischen Sinne einen Knalleffekt nennt, abgesehen, indem sie dieselben auf wenige Jahre mit überreichlicher Schönheit, Reiz und Fülle ausstattet, auf Kosten ihrer ganzen übrigen Lebenszeit, damit sie nämlich während jener Jahre der Phantasie eines Mannes sich in dem Maße bemächtigen könnten, dass er hingerissen wird, die Sorge für sie auf Lebenszeit in irgendeiner Form ehrlich zu übernehmen; zu welchem Schritte ihn zu vermögen die bloße vernünftige Überlegung keine hinlänglich sichere Bürgschaft zu geben schien.

Kato von Utika: Groß und erhaben ist es, den Menschen im Kampfe mit der Natur zu sehen, wenn er gewaltig sich stemmt gegen die Wut der entfesselten Elemente und, vertrauend der Kraft seines Geistes, nach seinem Willen die rohen Kräfte der Natur zügelt. Aber noch erhabener ist es, den Menschen zu sehen im Kampfe mit seinem Schicksale, wenn er es wagt einzugreifen in den Gang der Weltgeschichte, wenn er an die Erreichung seines Zwecks sein Höchstes, sein Alles setzt.
