Born at Steventon in 1775, the daughter of a Hampshire clergyman, Jane Austen was the youngest of seven children. She lived a quiet life, moving to Bath, Southampton, Chawton and eventually to Winchester where she died unmarried in 1817 at the age of 42.

Anton Chekhov's life was short, intense, and dominated by battles, both with his dependents and with the tuberculosis that was to kill him at age 44. He was one of the greatest playwrights and short-story writers ever born, but he was torn between medicine and literature, as he was between family and friends, between a longing for solitude and a need for company.

В этой книге современным, ярким, зачастую ироничным языком рассказывается как о судьбе Пушкина до сентября 1826 года, так и об удивительном времени — золотом веке русской культуры, — времени Александровской оттепели, когда формировался русский язык и русское сознание. Это время великолепных салонов и стремительно развивающегося театра, динамично меняющейся моды и поразительной практики русского застолья, восхитительных красавиц и импозантных бретёров, скандальных разводов и красивых проявлений благородства…. Мы погружаемся в дела давно минувших дней и забываем о том, что происходит вокруг нас.

Aus dem Teenager von damals ist heute einer der beliebtesten deutschen Schauspieler geworden – während Johnson mehr und mehr in Vergessenheit geraten ist.

Про Довлатова написано очень много, но мне, как ревностному ценителю его таланта и одному из его первых читателей, все написанное виделось слабым или недостаточным. Я то и дело порывался рассказать о любимом мною авторе то, что, как мне казалось, знаю и понимаю только я один. Мне не хотелось пересказывать биографию Довлатова, которая, на мой взгляд, просто громадный перечень всего, мешавшего ему жить и печататься. Для меня было важнее написать о силе воздействия его прозы на читателя, которую я испытал на самом себе. Марк Серман. Издание подготовлено к 80-летнему юбилею Сергея Довлатова.

Y, después del asesinato del poeta, motivo, hasta la muerte del pintor, de reflexión y acuciante nostalgia.
