Story
La dernière guerre, Marguerite Duras l'a vécue tout à la fois comme femme dont le mari avait été déporté, comme résistante, mais aussi comme écrivain. Lucide, étonnée, désespérée parfois, elle a pendant ces années tenu un journal, écrit des textes que lui inspiraient tout ce qu'elle voyait, ce qu'elle vivait, les gens qu'elle rencontrait ou affrontait. Ce sont des extraits de son journal, que Marguerite Duras a réunis dans un recueil de nouvelles, "La douleur". La première d'entre elles porte le même titre. Adeline d'Hermy a choisi de la lire.

Story
Für Rainer Maria Rilke war Weihnachten schon immer das wichtigste Fest des Jahres, das er oft in selbstgewählter Stille und mit dem Schreiben liebevoller Briefe verbrachte. Am 24. Dezember stellte sie sich ein, die "unvergleichliche Erwartung", die für ihn mit Heiligabend verbunden war. Eindringlich und nahbar beschreibt er in seinen Briefen an Familie und Freunde wie Anton Kippenberg, Lou Andreas-Salomé oder Franz Xaver Kappus, was ihm das "liebe alte Fest" bedeutet.

A master strategist and tireless activist, Bayard Rustin is best remembered as the organizer of the 1963 March on Washington, one of the largest nonviolent protests ever held in the United States. He brought Gandhi's protest techniques to the American civil rights movement and played a deeply influential role in the life of Martin Luther King, Jr., helping to mold him into an international symbol of nonviolence.

Story
Texte intégral lu par Thomas Compère Morel. "La Lettre au père" de Franz Kafka est l'une des œuvres majeures du XXe siècle. L'une des particularités de cette "Lettre au père", écrite en 1919, est que son destinataire n'en eut pas connaissance. La passion que Thomas Compère Morel nourrit pour Franz Kafka et pour sa "Lettre au père" nous a impressionnés. Son rapport fusionnel avec cette œuvre incomparable nous a convaincus qu'il pouvait en faire une lecture qui restitue la force et la beauté du texte.

Story
1842 brach der junge und schon gefeierte Autor Charles Dickens zu einer Lesereise nach Amerika und Kanada auf - von Boston bis St. Louis, von Richmond bis Quebec, mit Bahn oder Schiff. Zunächst stellte er sich ein Amerika vor, in dem eine tolerante und demokratische Zukunftsgesellschaft entstehen würde, ohne den Dünkel der englischen Aristokratie. Umso enttäuschter war er über den amerikanischen Kapitalismus und vor allem über die Sklaverei. Seine Kritik an Land und Leuten formulierte er unmittelbar und nicht ohne Ironie in seinen "Aufzeichnungen aus Amerika", gelesen von Christian Brückner.

Story
23½ Ways to Make a Girl Fall for You is arguably the most incorrect piece of work ever written. Eclipsing even Shakespeare's Timon of Athens, this book is a huge mathematical error. However, once you can bypass the glaring mistakes, which only end two minutes after the book is over, there is plenty of information to be gleaned by the novice male lover-to-be. Although very little of that information will be helpful, I'm sure you'll all join me in saying that the effort was there.

Il est une forme qui fertilise les champs littéraire et politique au XVIIIe : celle de la lettre. Et plus spécifiquement celle de la correspondance féminine. Elle est l'expression, pour les femmes de l'élite aristocratique, d'une progressive percée du domaine privé au terrain public. S'appuyant sur le précédent sévignéen, les épistolières ont compris que la lettre est action.
