Unterhaltungen deutscher Ausgewanderten von Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Unterhaltungen deutscher Ausgewanderten ist eine Erzählungssammlung von Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, erschienen (1795).

Das Konzept der Rahmenhandlung dieser Novelle hat Goethe von Boccaccios Decamerone übernommen (eine Erzählwelt wird der realen Situation der Flüchtlinge entgegengesetzt). Doch zeigt sich bei ihm, dass die Rahmengesellschaft in ihrer Funktion versagt. Es gelingt nicht mehr, das schreckliche Ereignis, das die Rahmengesellschaft konstituiert und dazu motiviert, sich mittels Erzählungen über das drohende Schicksal zu vertrösten, mittels Erzählen vergessen zu machen. Im Gegenteil: Das Ereigni...

The story could really have been simple: Miss Milner, who is admired for her beauty and charm, could have been a socialite, marry a respectable and good looking man and be happy in the standards of her time. But if it was so, why would there be a book? Miss Milner, beautiful and charming as she is, announces her wish to marry her guardian, a catholic priest. But women in the 18th century do not declare their wishes or speak about their passions, and- after all- he is a catholic priest… And if he finds a way to marry her, is this her road to happiness?

Spanning the time between 1872 and the year before he died, this collection of after-dinner speeches, random thoughts to "the press", etc. clearly documents, once again, the truly eclectic mind of Samuel Clemens. It also demonstrates how he dealt with adulation, compliments and notoriety...head on! This collection is a treasure-trove of Twain sayings, witticisms and pronouncements on a huge galaxy of issues and concerns in his life.

In this book Mathewson is telling the reader of the game as it is played in the Big Leagues.... It’s as good as his pitching and some exciting things have happened in the Big Leagues, stories that never found their way into the newspapers. Matty has told them.

The Anatomy of Melancholy is a book by Robert Burton, first published in 1621. On its surface, the book is a medical textbook in which Burton applies his large and varied learning in the scholastic manner to the subject of melancholia (which includes what is now termed clinical depression).

Though presented as a medical text, The Anatomy of Melancholy is as much a sui generis work of literature as it is a scientific or philosophical text, and Burton addresses far more than his stated subject.
